Loving You. . .

Explination and Rejection

"You told me that you had my back, and I thought that it was true, now my shadow is still behind me, but where on earth are you." E.H

"Mia, what are you talking about?" My mom says as I hold on to her.

"Vanessa's dad, he put his arm around me and I told him that I didn't like to be touched but he continued to do it and I walked out of the room to look for Vane and he followed me and he grabbed me by the waist and I felt him pushing me towards his room. Mom, I told him that I wanted to leave but he didn't let me. I tried mom, but I couldn't." I start sobbing more. I can't hear myself and my cries sound like I'm asking for help.

"Mia, why didn't you scream for help?" I hear my moms voice crack.

"I tried mom, but all that came out was whispers. I kept telling him to let me go cuz that is all that could come out."

"Oh Mia,"

"Mom, I was so scared. I don't know how I got away. I don't remember, all I remember is running outside."

"I knew something was wrong the minute you got home. I just never imagined it would be this." I start sobbing harder.

"What's going on? Why are you crying." I turn to see my dad come into my room. I run to my dad and I burry my face on his chest.

"Mr. Parra tried touching her today." I hear my mom tell my dad. All I want to feel is my dad's warmth.

"Fuck. I'm calling the police."

"No dad! You can't, Vanessa will hate me if her dad gets in trouble."

"Mia. He tried something on you. You can't possibly be thinking about Vanessa."

"Daddy, I never want to be the reason for Vanessa being hurt."

"If we can't go to the police, his wife has to know."

"Okay." I am still sobbing but now it's less.

"Come on sweetie, get some rest. We will deal with this tomorrow." My mom takes my hand and leads me to my bed and helps me lay down.

"Mom, when I close my eyes, I see him." I feel my mom's hand on my hair. "I don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to see him."

"I'll be here, sweetie, he won't come to you." I hear my dad sit on the other side of my bed. "I won't let him."

"But he is in my head, I can still feel him."

"We will be here all night if we have too." I close my eyes, but I don't stop crying.

********************************************
Vanessa and I are sitting in my room.

"I have to tell you something and I know it's going to hard for you to believe but just know that I'm not says it to hurt you."

"Mimi, what's wrong?"

"The other day your dad tried touching me."

"What? Your lying. He is my dad he sees you as a daughter. He would never do that to you."

"I'm so sorry, but he did, I ran out of your house." She gets up from my fed and heads to the door.

"I can't hear more of this. You are lying." And she walks out.

********************************************
"Your husband tried to touch my daughter and she hasn't left the house since then." I hear my mom tell Mrs. Parra.

"No. It can't be true." I hear the shakiness on her voice.

"No. It's true." I walk into the living room. I look at her and then I turn to Alexander. "He grabbed me by the waist and I felt him pushing me closer to his bedroom." I look at Alexander and I see him start crying.

"No. He wouldn't hurt you. He knows how much I care about you."

"Are you sure it wasn't all in your head? Your mom told me that you don't like to be touched.

Maybe when he first put a hand on you, you saw it as something more. My husband would never do that to you."

"This wasn't the first time. There was other times. And he has also tried flirting with me."

"No. It was all in your head. The lost of your baby made you paranoid." I can't take it no more and I walk out of the room.

Why won't no one believe me. He tried something on me.

********************************************
"Dad. I don't want to go outside. Please don't make me." I plea to my dad.

"Mimi, you have to go out. You can't lock yourself in your room."

"I'm scared, dad. I don't want to see that man."

"You can't let the fear control you, please. I don't want to see my daughter like this. This isn't you."

"Okay. Just keep me safe."

"Always."

We walk outside and I see Vanessa and Alexander. I try to walk as fast as can to the car.

"What are you still doing here?" I here Vanessa's angry voice.

"I..."

"Why don't you just leave. You have made this family miserable."

"I... I'm sorry."

"No you are not. Because of you were, you would go to my mom and tell her the truth."

"I... I didn't lie, I promise."

"No. You did. You lied because you just want to get back at my brother for what happened." I look at Alexander.

"That's not true. What happened with my angel and your father are two different things."

"No. You are a lying bitch. You are doing this for attention. Well guess what no one believes you." Tears start rolling down my cheeks. I look to Alexander, waiting for him to defend me, but he doesn't. "I'm glad Angel died, then I wouldn't be sharing blood with a lying, manipulating, bitch. Because of you and your lies my parents are always fighting."

"Your parents have always fought, that isn't something new."

"You bitch."

"If this is what you believe of me than fine. I won't lower myself to you or your family in that matter." I wipe my tears. "But listen to me, I did nothing to your family, your family did everything to me." I look at Alexander.
"Thanks for defending me." I turn and walk to the car.

"Are you okay?" My dad asks me. I didn't even notice that he was next to me the whole time.

"I have made my decision."

"You have?"

"I choose Oregon. I want to leave as soon as possible."
