Could It Be Love? *GirlxGirl*

Chapter Seven ~ Secrets

~~~*Crystal's POV*~~~

Today was amazing. Britney and I got together! I couldn't wait to tell someone (until I remembered I have no one to tell). We stayed at the park until three this afternoon. Then, we went to a little ice cream shop down the street. She got us both ice cream cones, me a mint chocolate chip with caramel syrup and rainbow sprinkles, and her a vanilla and strawberry swirl with a hard chocolate shell on it. I think I ate more of her own than she did though. 

I just go home, and its five o'clock. Dad's not home. I don't know why and I refuse to ask Anna. She looks and sounds really nervous though. I wonder why. I don't know how long he's been gone for. He may be looking for me, considering I came home late. I hope not. Today has been perfect and I don't want him to ruin it. 

"Dinner's ready Cris!" I hear Annabell shout from downstairs. I grab my cellphone and run down the steps. The smell of lasagna hits my nose and I mentally groan. I love the way my sister cooks. I sit down at the table and get myself a giant helping of food. Im shoving it in my mouth when my sister and I both hear the front door click open. My dad walks into the kitchen just as we both make it look like we hadn't eaten yet and put some food on a plate for him. 

"Where were you at Crystal?" My father asks me. I continue to stare down and don't reply to him. "I fucking asked you a question Crystal. Where the fuck were you!" I start to shake a little bit. "A-At the park with a friend sir... I'm sorry I wasn't home in time. Ill t-try harder next time. I p-promise," 

He grabs my plate and throws it to the floor. He then pulls my chair out then, making me slip slightly. I fall onto the ground and pulls me up by my hair. He whispers in my ear to up to my room and wait for him, but not to undress myself or get ready. I nod as the tears begin to spill and run upstairs. 

I run into my room and shut the door beside me. I hide my phone in my closet so that I can get ot it if I need it. He tends to want to break my cell phone when I misbehave, though he hasn't done it in a while. Ten minutes go by and I haven't gotten off of the foot of my bed. I can hear chairs scraping the  floor downstairs and plates being put into the sink. I wipe my eyes and attempt to stop crying.

He busts in my door and slams it. He walks over to me and picks me up by my hair. The tears start spilling again. "I thought I tought you not to be out late the last time this happened. I thought that the last beating would have been enough." He slaps me across the face. I whimper. "Maybe I should teach you a lesson again" He says as he throws me onto the bed and begins his buisness.

**************

I get up from my bed after he leaves and go to take a shower. I turn on the hot water and step under. I let the massage setting take out all the kinks in my back from the nights actions. I can't believe Anna let him do that to me again. She said she knew what he did. That she knew that he had raped me that night. Yet she didn't do a fucking thing about it. What a wonderful sister she is. Or maybe she was just protecting herself. I really shouldn't get mad at her. She just doesn't want to get caught up in this mess of my life. 

I get out of the shower after washing my hair, my body, and shaving. I wrap my hair in a towel and my body in a seperate one before going to my room and putting on my elmo pajamas. They're mens pants and a t-shirt, but they are so comfy. As I walk past my closet, I grab my phone from the shelf in it and check my phone. I have a text from Britney telling me goodnight and that she cant wait to see me tomorrow. I text her and ask her if I can come over and I start to think about what happened tonight. Maybe I should tell her about my dad. She obviously understands because of her father. Maybe if I left my dad she could help me. I think about it and decide to tell Britney. We can come up with a plan later. 

I recive a text back telling me that I can come over anytime I want. I text her back and say that Im on my way. I grab a pair of bright yellow socks and slip on my slippers. I crawl out of my window and jump down. Remembering my way to Britney's house, I make my way there. 

When I get there, Britney's waiting outside for me. She obviously see's that I've been crying and asks me whats wrong. I type something on my phone and give it to her.

'My dad beats me and rapes me. He has ever since I told him I was gay. He also says that my mother died because of me. That she died in the car crash because God was punishing her for her child being gay. He still does it all the time. Every time I do something wrong, even if its the slightest thing, I get hit. He touched me again tonight because I was an hour late. Remember when I had to leave really quickly before? Thats because of my dad. I was late that night. I had bruises on my back and on my ribs from him kicking me. My face is probably bruised from him smacking me tonight. I need help Britney... But not yet... I don't know how to yet... Please don't make me...'

She reads the text and tears up. "It's okay Crystal... We'll get help... I promise okay? I swear to fucking God... Im going to make everything better" We walk into her house and go up to her room. I only then notice that she's in just her bra and underwear. She excuses herself when we get to her room to go find something else to put on. I simply nod my head and crawl into her bed. I cover up as much as I possibly can. Right before I drift off to sleep, I feel the bed dip and Brit get into bed. I feel her kiss my forehead and put her arm around me. I smile and drift off to a nightmare filled sleep.
