Shit! Shit, you're such a retard! Dylan thought. She's gonna see and send you away because you're a freak! Dylan got herself cleaned up and then pulled her sleeves all the way down. She put the washrag in the bottom of her hamper to hide the evidence and then went to bed, dissatisfied with her actions. Too late now.

Olivia got up early that morning to get the kids up from school. She got herself ready first, and made sure she had nothing more to do before waking her children, who won't be happy about it. She walked down the hallway and opened Aiden's bedroom door. She crept i and sat on the edge of the bed.

Upon feeling the bed sink in, and his mother lightly shaking him, Aiden woke up, groaning and pulling the blanket over his head. "Wake up, honey."

"I don't wanna.." he pouts.

"I know, baby, and I don't wanna go to work sometimes, but I do it anyways."

"Ugh," he groans.

Olivia got up and stopped in the doorway, telling him to get up one last time. She went down to Dylan's bedroom and, again, sat on the bed. Dylan jolted awake. "Hey, sweetie, it's just me."

"Oh..hey."

"It's time to get up, okay?"

Dylan scooted up, making sure her sleeves were all the way down. "I-I thought you weren't gonna make me go to school."

"Honey, you can't just not go to school. You've gotta do something to keep you busy. Sometimes it can help take your mind off of things."

"But..they all know. Jake knows and he's my best friend."

"Listen to me. Everything will be okay. Jake loves you, he won't judge you, and if anyone at the school says anything, then you call me, okay? You call me and i'll deal with it." Dylan nodded her head. "Now go get ready for school."

Olivia left the room to go deal with Aiden so that Dylan could get dressed. Dylan changed into a pair of leggings and a black hoodie. It's oversized, so it covered her wrists, thank god, and paired it with a pair of black uggs. She didn't do anything with her hair or makeup, she didn't care enough to. 

Downstairs, Olivia was making breakfast for the three of them as Aiden was explaining to her why school shouldn't start so early in the morning.  "Well, it's life. You gotta go with it."

"Yeah, but still. It's dumb. Why can't it start at twelve or something?"

"Because you wouldn't get done with school until seven!"

"The days should be shorter, too," Aiden tells her. Dylan came downstairs in her all-black attire. "Who hit you with the emo truck?"

Olivia scolded him. Dylan turned to look at him. "The guy who raped me.." she whispers so low that only Olivia, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with her, could understand.

"Okay, that's enough, apologize to your sister."

"Fine, sorry."

Dylan had been at school for exactly two hours and hasn't left Jake's side. She's so terrified of being at school, though it's not her first time being back since her assault. She was doing better than expected until one of the girls in her biology class called her a whore. She quickly exited the room and fled to the bathroom. Her teacher followed her and saw her scratching where her cuts had scabbed over.

"What the hell do you mean?! You decided that raping a seven year old little girl would do it for ya'? Is that how you get off?" Olivia questions. "I have no problem putting your ass in the tombs-"
