The secret life of a goth chick

Chapter 20: Secrets reviled part 2

Maria POV

I took a deep breath and told him everything about how my uncle abused me and how he threatened me if I told Aunt Alle. I told him that Uncle rapped me those months ago but I held back one very important thing: he rapped me again just a few days ago. He said that he could tell that I was giving them more and more hints but anytime I denied, let's just say it wasn't pretty..

After I said all I needed to, I realized that I left two more things out. I took a deep breath and said, "Kyle, promise me you won't freak out when I tell you these last two things."

I could see him clenching his fists as he said, "What the fuck did he do now?!"

"Actually, it was me this time."

His fists loosens up and his face drops. "What?"

I took my shirt off to revel a tank top and a whole crap load of cuts all up and down my arms. I went to my closet and took my pants off and put on some shorts to show more cuts.

I kept a straight face while he took it all in.

"'Slit your wrists and cut your thighs. Fake a smile and dry your eyes. Hate your self and you life. Welcome to my world of lies.' That was said to me by my uncle who pointed out that it was my fault our dad and stepmother died. He said that anytime I start believing that it wasn't my fault to remember where I sleep at night," my eyes were starting to water, "in the attic of my aunt Alle and abusive, rappest uncle!"

Kyle had already been right in front of me when I started to fall to my knees. I cried as he held me and told me that I won't have to live like that anymore.

"We're getting you out of here. Now!"

"No. My uncle locked us in. We can't get out until he lets us. And I don't think he will."

"Ok, then let's think of something." Kyle looked around the room while I just sat where I was all red-eyed. "Maybe we can make a lot of noise and your aunt or neighbors will come see what's going on!"

"No, my aunt left after we came up here for a two week meeting. She won't be back for a while. And the only neighbor I have is Severen."

"What?"

"Oh, right. Forgot.. I live behind him but he doesn't know it's me. I live to far for him to see my face. All he knows is that it's a girl who moved in her a few months ago."

"But were you gonna tell him any of this? That you live behind him or the cutting or even the rape?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Dunno. Probably not. I don't need any of the 'I'm-so-sorry-I-wasn't-there-to-help-you-will-you-please-forgive-me' crap. They didn't need to know about this bullshit. It was my problem, not theirs. But i guess now it is their problem too now.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean they know now. About all of this."

"How?"

"They are watching us from the classroom."

Danille's POV

"They are watching us from the classroom."

Everyone gasped. Ha. Chumps. If only they knew how me and Alex reacted when she told us all this. Theirs is nothing compared to ours!

"Why didn't you tell us, Danny?"

I turned to see Lily red eyed and mad.

"Because it wasn't mine to tell. She wanted to tell you guys when she dealt with her uncle but as you can see," I pointed to the screen, "she just told you. And she knows she did too."
