~Recap~
"12 years old..."
~ current time~
"I was beat the same, forced the same, from age 12 to my 16th birthday it was the same. Now last week. I didn't do things right and he was drunk, normal beatings, but he took my arm and put it over a burner, then took a cigarette and burned me, took a knife and cut me." I pulled up my shirt a bit to show her.
"That's my story, please don't treat me differently or stop being my friend. I told you because I trust you." I was crying at this point now, shes a mess, again.
"I'm so sorry, I won't tell anyone and I will not treat you differently, you have to get out of there please! He could end up killing you!" This is why I didn't want to tell her, she freaks out.
"I can't! I'll try to leave, but he'll find me!"
"If you don't tell anyone, I will. I'm not going to let you sit there and take this! Knowing my bed friend is getting hit, and could die. Hell no!" Oh no, I don't have any words.
"No! They will kill me!!" I think she wants me to die.
"You have 2 days. If you don't tell anyone, i'm going straight to the police."
"But wh-"
"NO." She got up and walked away. I have to tell them, I don't know how...
~2 days later~
In those 2 days, I couldn't sleep. I went to school and half way through the day, I got pulled out of class and had to go to the office. I knew exactly what it was for. I walked in and saw Madison crying her eyes out. She actually told.
"Hello Mindy, have a seat."
"Hello."
"Do you know why you are here?" I love this question. You know why? Because apparently I can read minds. I actually know why this time.
"No ma'am." I lied
"Madison here, has claimed that you're being abused in your house is this true?"
"Yes....." I whispered, hopefully she didn't hear.
"Alright, let me call child services and the police." Damn it, she heard. I'm screwed.
It took 30 minutes for them to arrive.
"Hello, we received a call about a child getting abused? Which child?" I'm scared.
"This one right here, her friend reported it to us." They pointed at me.
"Well it's the right call. She could be dead soon if you didn't report it."
"Yes it was. Madison you may sit outside and wait to be called in. They have some questions to ask."
"Okay, thanks." she whispered.
"So Mindy, are you comfortable with the principal in here? Or would you like her out?" I shrugged my shoulders. I don't care.
"Well shes going to sit here. Only because she is concerned and wants to know whats going on as well. She also needs to here your story and compare it just in case Madison was lying."
"Ok."
"First question. Are you being abused by mom, dad or both?"
"Mainly dad, sometimes both."
"How long has this been happening?"
"Ever since I was 4. I am 16 now." They look shocked.
"We're you ever planning on telling anyone about this?"
"No, but I told Madison because I thought I could trust her"
"Has he forced you to do anything?"
"Yes, do you want the full story instead of questioning me?" They were starting to annoy me.
"If thats faster than yes."
~40 minutes later~
My teacher is in tears.... The social worker is in tears.... The police officer is almost in tears. I didn't know it was that bad.
"We are going to have to take this to court. Your parents will be there and so will you. Along with the principal, a lawyer, a social worker, Madison, her parents, and I. Your parents have a great lawyer so we need the best. You will be staying at Madisons house for a week. They bought you new clothes. Go say thank you to her and you two may go home."
"Thank you..."
