A Child Broken

Chapter 11

We fell asleep together in her bed. When I woke up she was still sleeping so I left and went back to my room. My phone was dead so I plugged it in and a few minutes later when it turned on I saw what time it was. It was only 7:00 so I went back to bed. But after I was asleep for about an hour a heard a ding. So I hastily rolled out of bed and on to my feet. I walked over to the computer that was sitting on the desk all the way on the other side of the room. Which is a long walk when your half asleep. I leaned over the desk and clicked the mouse displaying a bright screen with a notification bubble.

"Instant message from jlicker125"

I had been talking to him for a while it was nothing serious just a little flirty talk. But I talked to him all the time and no one knew about him he was like my confidant. He knew about my mom and tiff killing herself and my foster dad and my foster mom being a drunk now. He knew that my real dad left and that he tried to talk to me again but he did not know what my mom's boyfriend did to me. No one should ever have to hear that story the ONLY reason that tiff and Sarah knew was because they told me their story. I didn't trust anyone else enough to know about what happened to me. It was the worst part of my life and I tried not to look back at it as much as I could help it. But anyway I talked to him a lot I would stay up all night talking to him. Sometimes until around three in the morning. Always a different conversation, but we never really talked about him or who he was. He is probably fake. Hell hes probably a ninety year old man, I have no idea. I don't know who he is or what he is but at least he listens and I know he will always listen. We haven't exchanged names or anything so I never have to worry about meeting him, this is just someone to talk to... For now. Those are some of the things I used to think about when I would talk to him. But it was true we never did exchange names or numbers, there was no way for him to find me. So even if he was fake I didn't have to care. He was my bestfriend in all this. I remember that day talking to him even after forgetting most of our conversations I remembered this one.

Jlicker125: Hey Bestie!!

(Me) Peachiepop15: Hey you

Jlicker125: what's up

Peachiepop15: nothing just woke up what bout you?

Jlicker125: just wondering some thoughts

Peachiepop15: thoughts like?

As I sat down in front of my computer I was very curious as to what he was thinking about. So I sat there pondering thoughts as I waited for him to answer.

Jlicker125: uhh ugh umm were you ever... Raped??

My jaw dropped while I looked at the now blurry screen through my teary eyes. How did he find out? Oh my god this was not happening to me. He was the one person I didn't want to tell my story or at least all of my story. Ugh I just can't beleive this could happen.

Peachiepop15: why do you ask that?

I played it off cool like I didn't know what he was talking about.

Jlicker125: I just was uhh looking for stuff online about you and I found an article.

Peachiepop15: wait so you were snooping me out. I have not once this entire time we've been talking have not researched you at all I thought that was kind of a given. Hell we don't even know each others names.

Jlicker125: yes peach and I'm sorry I was just curious and I was really scared to ask you because I really like you a lot. But the wonder was eating me alive.

Peachiepop15: well before I answer anymore of your questions I need to know that you are real I don't want to offend you but we are talking on the internet, you never know.

Jlicker125: yes I completely understand no offense taken at all. But how do you want me to prove it.

Peachiepop15: well there is only one way you can't fake anything... Let's face time.

Jlicker125: ok do you have Skype?

Peachiepop15: yep

Jlicker125: ok what's your username?

Peachiepop15: Vanahbug

Jlicker125: ok I'll find you in a sec.

As I sat there waiting for Skype call from this guy that I had just realized I knew nothing about. Like absolutely nothing at all. So I waited and I waited for what seemed like hours but in all reality it was probably only 10 minutes. And then my computer started making a sound, the sound I had been dreading to hear for the past 10 minutes. I slowly reached for the mouse. I clicked the bright green accept call button hastily. When his face popped up on the screen my jaw dropped. "Well hey bestie." He managed to squeeze the words out of his smiling mouth. "Umm... Uhh... Hi."
