Recap:

"Zo, you ok?" I heard Chace's voice I turned around to his soothing voice.

"I'm ok." I gave a little smile. I closed my eyes as another tear fell out. Chace pulled me into his chest I breathed in his scent he was the only person that knew what happened and how much on an effect on me.

"It's the memories isn't it? I will never ever let him hurt you again Zo. Are you sure you ok? We could just go home?" He looked at me worried.

"No I like school; it gets my mind off things." I grimaced. I wasn't lying it really did, but I was fine now. I only have flashbacks rarely but when I do. I want to break down.

"Come on Zo, Zo. Let's go. We have got Biology together." He said wiggling his eyebrows at me. I laughed. He always gets me in a better mood when things go bad.....

Chapter 10:

There are some days when I feel like I'm being watched; today is that kind of day. I can't concentrate on anything. Mr Walsh is talking, I can see his lips moving but I can't understand what he is saying.

I can't shake of the feeling that someone is watching me; I had it since this morning when I was out getting the mail I had a feeling that someone was watching me. I know I'm over thinking it or just being paranoid.

"You ok?" Oliver whispered to me. He looked concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine." I gave him a slight smile. "Just thinking…"

12 Year Old Zoe

No one can't tell how fucked up my life is. I can put up a very good front. On the outside I'm this happy bubbly person, but on the inside, I'm being torn apart bit by bit, layer by layer. I can't take it anymore.

Alissa is the only one who knows what I'm really like, she knows me. She helps me out.

Some days it's like I can't deal with it anymore, but she helps me. She was the one who finally convinced me to tell someone about what was happening. I told my next door neighbour, and his family really helped me.

My neighbour was also my best friend, he helped me through everything, but he never knew what that asshole did to me. When he was drunk it was even worse.

Present:

Ever since my childhood, I don't like people touching my legs or arms because he always touched them in ways that no child should have gone through.

With Tate it's different for some reason I trust him, that he doesn't want to hurt me, he wouldn't make me do something I'm not comfortable doing.

He really was a nice person.

"Ms Ward?" I was brought back to reality by Mr Walsh saying my name. "Do you agree?"

Just as I was thinking that I have no idea what he is talk about, I was saved by the bell. I grabbed my bag and made my way to the door.

"Have you got a minute, Zoe?" I turned on my heel, and watched as everyone left the classroom. What does he want? Today I just didn't feel like doing anything, I just wanted to go home. I felt awful and sick.

He sat on the edge of his desk and just looked at me closely. "Is there something wrong Zoe?"

I could feel my palms sweating and I started fidgeting, "N-n-no, everything is fine." I stuttered.
