Loving You. . .

Father and Son

"People cry not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long."
Johnny Depp

"You stay here while I go take a shower, then we can go." Vanessa says as she grabs her close to get into the shower.

"Okay. I'll wait."

She walks out of the room and into the bathroom. I sit in her bed and I start texting Cassia.

"Wyd? I'm bored Vane is taking a shower. Talk to me."

I hear the door to the room open and close. I look up to see Mr. Parra.

"Hello, Mia. How are you?" He asks as he walks closer to the bed.

"Good. I'm waiting for Vanessa." My voice starts to shake.

"Nice. I'm looking for something." He walks closer and opens one of the drawers that are next to me. "But I can't find it." He moves closer and sits on the bed next to me.

"Oh that sucks." Please leave.

Mr. Parra puts his hand on my shoulder and moves it to the back of my neck and garbs it. I bend forward to get his hand off of me.

"What are you ticklish?" He says as he, again.
Grabs my neck.

"No I just do like to be touched." I tell him as I move again. I grab my phone and I text Cassia.

"Please talk to me. Mr. Parra is in the room with me and I feel unsafe."

"No I think you are ticklish." He puts his hand again and this time I stand up and I make my way to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to hurry Vanessa." I walk out of the room and into the hallway and I knock on the bathroom door.

"Vane! Hurry up. I want to leave already."

"What!!! I can't hear you!!!" I turn around and Mr.parra is getting closer.

"Please Vanessa hurry up."

"What's happening?" Mr. Parra says as he gets closer.

"I want to go home."

"Why don't you stay here, while you wait for Vanessa. I'll keep you company." He stands in the middle of the hallway not giving me enough space to move.

"No. I want to go home. Please."

"I'll keep you company. You don't need to go." He says as he puts his hand on my shoulder. Don't touch me you pig!!! I try to tell him to move but all that comes out is a plea.

"Please. I want to go home. Let me go." I try to move his hand away. But he uses the other one to bring me closer. I feel his body pushing me closer to the direction of his room. His bedroom is next to the bathroom.

"How about just a little hug. It would hurt." He moves his hand to my wait and pulls me closer to him. I feel my back hitting something.

"No. I want to go home let me go." I pull as hard I say can and I find a small space between him and the wall. I push him to the side and I slip away from his hold. I feel something grabbing my shirt, I pull harder until I hear something rip.
********************************************
As I leave the house I hear him calling out to me, but I don't turn, I just get my bag and I leave. I run to my house and I open the door.

"Why are you here." My mom asks me as enter the house.

"Um Vane is taking a shower, and I didn't want to wait."

"Oh okay. Get ready for dinner."

"Umm I'm not hungry, maybe later."

"Okay." I make my way to my room and I grab my clothes. I walk to the restroom and I turn on the hot water.

Get off of me. I'm dirty. I start scratching my self trying to take his hands off of me. Why won't they wash off. I can still feel him. I feel tears running down my cheeks. Leave me alone. Get out of my head. I can see him, touching me. Please God if you hear me, take this away. I can't believe Vanessa's dad would think of doing this to me. I can't look at Vanessa or Alexander in the eyes again.
Please take me with you I don't want to be here, where people can hurt me. Please.

"Mia. What's going on I hear crying."

"I'm okay mom. Just please leave."

"No. I'm coming in there." I don't hear my mom no more then I hear the door open.

"Mia! What's going on?"

"Nothing mom. I just started thinking about my angel and I started crying."

"Oh sweetie."

"Mom I want to go to church, right now."

"Sure. Just get out of those wet clothes and I'll wait for you."

"Okay." She walks out of the bathroom and closes the door. I get out of the shower and I change out of the wet close. I look at the mirror and I see all of my make up smeared.

How can he do this to me? I saw him as a father.
*******************************************
I walk inside the church and the light are low. I look up at the cross.

Why me? I never tried to hurt anyone. Why would someone try to hurt me. Someone that has known me since I was 6 years old. Please God taking me with my angel, I can't take this anymore. I want to die, but I know that if I kill myself I won't see her.

"Mia? Is that you? What's wrong sweetheart?" I look up to see my mom's friend.

"I... A man that I have known all my life tried to touch me. He tried to get me into his room. I'm so scared." I don't know why I am telling her this.

"Oh god. Sweetheart you have to tell your mom." She wraps her arms around me.

"Want me to go with you?"

"No I can't, if I tell my parents they are going to want to call the police and then Vanessa will hate me."

"Sweetie, it's for your own good. Come on I'll at least take you home."

When we arrive at my house she gives me one last hug.
"You have to talk."

"Can you pray for me? Ask God to give me the strength." I walk out the car and I head inside my house.
********************************************
I am in bed and it's 1 am and I can't get any sleep. Please God, make me forget. I keep turning and I can't seem to be able to get some sleep. If I can't forget, give me the strength to tell my parents.

I get up from my bed and I make my way to my parents room. I knock on the door and a few seconds later my mom opens the door.

"Can you come into my room? I have to tell you something." I take her hand and we walk to my room. The minute I'm in I start sobbing.

"He touched me!!!"
