Sapphires P.O.V.

When I woke up again I was in a room. It had white walls and a small tv, with a couch. I was laying down on a twin size bed with purple covers. None of my surroundings looked familiar, but surprisingly I wasn't scared anymore. I was just really confused. And I wanted answers really bad. Yet I wasn't sure if I wanted to know all the truth.

I got up and walked towards the window, I noticed there was a lake in front of the house and I was on the second floor. Birds were flying everywhere and there were geese down at the lake. There was also a small boat on the edge. Nothing seemed familiar. And as much ass I wanted to run away, I desperately wanted answers. And I was going to get them even if it meant that I had to hear them from my dad.

I was about to go back to the bed when dad walked in. He looked at me and for the first time seemed nervous. He scratched the back of his head and said "ummm... Look Sapphire.... I well I brought you these clothes" he layer the bundle of clothes on the bed and I noticed they were mine. He avoided looking in my eyes and mumbled "the bathroom is over there and when you're ready you can come down for breakfast.... You must be hungry." he looked at me and quickly looked away. "call if you need anything" then he walked out the room closing the door behind him.

I walked into the bathroom locking the door and looked in the mirror. I looked horrible. My face had light bruising and my eyes were red from crying and I looked really tired. My arms and legs still had a few bruises but nothing too bad. I sighed and stepped in the shower letting the warm water cascade down my back. And without realizing it I started cring. I cried and just the tears fall down. After just standing there under the water I finally snapped out of it and finished my bath.

I got out and got dressed in some jeans and a black tank top and purple cardigan. And I put on the old converse he gave me. I brushed my blond hair deciding to air dry it. I went into the room stil debating going downstairs. But finally making my way there when my stomach growled. On instinct ip kept my gaze down suddenly really scared.

I walked into the kitchen to find him turned towards the stove mixing some batter. I sat down on the furthest chair from him and he turned and said "I'm making pancakes... I hope that's okay?" I didn't want any trouble with him so I managed a smile and nodded. He smiled slightly and turned back around.

I was freaking out and my hands were shaking a little. But I was too scared to do anything so I kept quiet. Because if I wanted some answers I was going to have to try and not make him mad. I didn't want him hitting me again. All I wanted right now was to go to the hospital and check on Keith. Most importantly I wanted to know how Becca was doing. I was really a terrible friend.

I was snapped out of feeling guilty when dad set a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. He sat on the opposite side of me and began eating. I started to do the same. I was too hungry to care if he had poisoned the food or not. Besides he had already hurt me enough what more could he possibly do?

I finished eating my food and he took my plate to the sink. I took in a deep breath and whispered "you can start explaining now..." he turned to look at me and sighed rubbing his eyes. He nodded and sat back down.

"I went to far with this S, even the cops are looking for me, I didn't want to hurt anybody yet I did! I'm so sorry" he grabbed his coffee and took a sip. Then he continued " about 17 or 18 years ago I had problems with your mom. She began to criticize everything I did. So I used my job as an excuse to stop from getting home early. I even took business trip just to stop from being home. And one time on those trips I got really mad at your mom and when I got back I slept with her step sister Lora. It was a one time thing that I regretted the next day
