The Quiet One

Chapter 17: Elizabeth

   As soon as I walked into my house I felt like the happiest girl ever. My mother looked from the kitchen and saw me leaning against the door and smiling. She laughed," Well it looks like you had a good day." I ran towards her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. "Oh Mom! He's so beautiful and he actually cares about me. I feel like I've known him for more than 2 months." I said smiling from ear to ear. I ran up to my room and walked to my window to say bye to Collin. He was standing at his car door waiting. I waved and went to go shower. After Teresa texted and said she was going to come by this weekend. I went down to the kitchen to tell my mom more about Collin. "Well he sounds very nice and genuinely sweet. I'm glad he's making my baby happy. I sat there and we spoke for about another hour until I went to do my homework. I wanted to talk to Collin but I had to finish my work. I looked at my wall clock and it sat 10:34. I yawned and decided to call when I finished which was at 11. Until I heard a loud crash. I ran into the kitchen and Frank and mother were arguing, so I stayed to listen. "Your daughter is a slut! She can't stay in my house bringing boys here," he said. "Excuse me?! I pay the bills when your drunk ass doesn't want to work!" Mom yelled back, " Don't you ever call her that again!" I smiled at her defending me until I saw him push her. I ran in, "Frank leave my mother alone!" he turned and smiled as he grabbed my arm and slammed me on the couch. He slapped me up and I could taste the blood from my lip. He pulled at my shirt and I screamed for him to stop. My mother slapped and punched at him to stop. He choked her until it looks like she was going to die. "Stop!!! I'll do it! Just stop." I yelled. He dropped his hand and she fell. I ran to her and carried her to the bedroom. He grabbed me and forced me into my room. He ripped off my clothes and raped me with anger.

The next morning not only was Frank not there all his things were gone too. My mom called the police when she woke up and they came and took him. My mom drove me to the hospital and she got me a rape kit. It was a definite match to Frank and he was going to jail for a long time. I was hugging my mother when I heard Collin.
