Pull Me In Like A Riptide (Wesley Stromberg Fanfic)

Chapter 5: Revealing The Past

**Kayla POV**

Wes and I sat there for a few seconds in silence before any words could come out of my mouth. No one besides my mom knew this stuff, and she didn't even know the whole story. Wes must mean a whole damn lot to me considering I am even thinking about letting these words out of my mouth. But here goes nothing I guess.

"Well, my dad was always a normal, loving dad, and nothing was ever wrong until I turned 9. I remember the first day things started happening. I got off the bus one day after school, and my dad was home, like he normally was. My mom never got off work until late at night, so me and my dad would do things together." Wes just nodded his head and I took a deep breath. "I was 9, so my parents never bathed me in the shower or anything like they did when I was smaller. But that one night, my dad did. And it made me feel uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything. That night he insisted he dry me off, and put my pajamas on me, and kept touching me. After that night things progressively started getting worse." I closed my eyes for a minute to get my mind together and figure out how I was going to say what I had to say. "That stuff continued until my 6th grade year. That's when he began raping me. Every day. He told me if I ever told my mom he would kill me." I started to tear up and I saw the anger in Wesley's face as I told the story. "When I got into 9th grade, I started my period. So um, one day I woke up and I felt really sick and so I told my mom to take me to the doctor. Turns out I was pregnant. I sat there and lied to my mothers face and told her it was my boyfriends. I didn't even have a boyfriend. And all the girls at school called me a slut but they didn't know Wes, they didn't know." at this point tears were rolling down my face and I was shaking uncontrollably. "My dad got so angry that he beat me. He beat me so bad that I had to lie to my friends at school and tell them I got all the bruises from playing sports. He beat me really bad one night that I thought I was going to die. And that next week I went to the doctor for an ultrasound, the baby had miscarried. I know, my dad killed that baby. My dad didn't let this effect him and continued raping me. Towards the end of my freshman year, I couldn't do it anymore. On day I was at lunch with my mom and I told her everything. I told her what he said to me, what he did to me, and that it was his baby. And I told her that he said if anyone knew about this, he would kill me. So my mother...got a divorce."

I looked Wes In the eyes and he wiped a tear from my face. I was crying so hard and was completely tense. "How my mother got out of the marriage, was one day, she told him she had been cheating on him. And that she was going to marry this other guy. Which wasn't true. But my dad got so angry, he divorced her. Then my dad packed his things, and left the house. I have no idea where he lives now but I haven't talked to him ever since he left. He didn't even fight to have custody of me in court. It's like, he used me. Then just left. Not even wanting me. And my mom, she lied to my dad, just to get him away from me. As hard as it was for her, I know she loved him. He was her first love. That's why my mom was so depressed. No one knows that whole story Wes, accept you. And it was as hard for me to say as it was for you to hear." I closed my eyes and Wes grabbed my waist and pulled me into his lap. I sat there, crying my eyes out. But I felt..safe.

**Wesley POV**

I am still in shock. Her mom told everyone the divorce was because they just weren't in love anymore. But her dad, I hate him. If I ever see him, he would be lucky to come out alive. None of this was fair to Kayla. She never did anything wrong. And the fact that he didn't care enough about her to even attempt to get custody. I mean, he wouldn't have gotten it, but you cant do that to your daughter. This made me sick.

"Kayla, none of that was your fault. And I'm not letting you live with your dad. And I'm also not letting you go into a foster home. I don't know what's going to happen, but don't even worry about making that decision. But after you told me all that, I'm not going anywhere, okay? Your dad is a fucked up man if he thinks he can do that, not just to anyone but his DAUGHTER? Babe, you telling me all this, makes you so much stronger than I thought you were. The fact that all of this happened to you, and it's been bottled up inside of you for all these years, is really something, Kayla. I just want to let you know that I swear to you, I will never let that happen to you again. And I will never do that to you, or my future daughter." A little smile started to show through her frown and the only thing running through my head right now is how someone could do this to her. Kayla is so small and fragile and innocent. I just don't even know how someone could treat someone like he treated Kayla.

**Kayla POV**

I laid in Wes's arms on the beach until it started getting dark out. It honestly felt so good to have someone know this about me, and get it off my chest. I really hope Wes doesn't leave me, like everyone else has. We walked back to Wes's house and everyone was watching a movie. "Hey guys! We were starting to worry, you guys were gone for a long time!" Keaton said. Wes and I both just nodded as we headed upstairs. "Uh you guys okay?" Drew asked kind of taken back that we didn't talk to anyone. "No, dude. Just not really in the mood to talk." Wes said, trying to come off like everything was fine. We walked up into Wesley's room and I changed into one of his tank tops and some shorts and we got ready for bed. I guess I was staying here while we figured out where I was going to live.

Wes and I both crawled into his bed and he pulled my in close to him. I felt like nothing bad could happen to me when I was in his arms. We laid there in silence for a few minutes until I screeched out "Um, Wes?" I said with my head on his chest moving my fingers on his chest. He looked down at me and said "Yeah Kay?" "You're the only boyfriend I have ever had. Actually," I said peering up at him "You're the only man who has ever been in my life."

He readjusted himself intertwining our legs and said "And I'm honored. And I promise I will treat you nothing shy of what you deserve. Because I want to be there for you. Always."

Wes seriously always knew what to say. Today was definitely strange, in a good and bad way. I just needed to get my mind off of everything. So I pulled myself closer to Wes, and closed my eyes to sleep.

So sorry this is kinda a long chapter, but I tried to get a lot of emotion in it...But I did want to give you guys some answers, AND just to let you all know, I will not be updating until next week because I am going to the lake tomorrow. SO I wanted to give you all a nice long update for now... I LOVE YOU ALL :D
