One day when boy and girl just finished their date, the girl went home and her boyfriend called her.

"Hey baby, how are you?" he said.

"Good," she moaned.

"You don't sound good."

"I'm fine."

"I'll call tomorrow to check up on you. 'Kay?"

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye."

And when they hung up, the girl and her dad went to sleep. The boy stayed up all night and thought deeply about his sweet girlfriend. When it was about ten o'clock in the morning, the girl called her boyfriend. She called him and asked him if she could stay at his house for the night. He said okay and at five o'clock, she arrived at her boyfriend's house. Now I know what you're thinking, the boyfriend does not abuse her. The boyfriend loves her more than his own mother. So he asks her, "What's up with you today? You're so quiet. So solemn. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. It's nothing. You know what? I'm gonna go home now. I didn't mean to waste your time. Sorry. I'm going home."

"I'll walk you home."

"Okay."

So the boyfriend walked her home and kissed her on the cheek and left her to go inside her house. Her checked up on her when she went in the house and if she peeked in the window. She did, but with someone familiar. She didn't cheat on her boyfriend. But it was her abusive father trying to push her out of her bedroom window with a stick.

He ran back home without looking back and texted her to her cellphone: what's up wit ur dad? She didn't text back. So he called her and the answering machine picked it up. "I wonder what's up with her dad? And why is she not picking up?" The next day at school, the girl gave him a note.

"Don't you dare read it until I tell you to." she said.

"I promise, baby."

He stuck it inside his pocket, not daring himself to read it. After school, the girl's father picked her up in his dirty, old pick-up truck. While the boy walked home with his buddies. But what was going to happen next, was going to turn the boy's life upside down. His cellphone rang. The ID read General Hospital.

"Hello?" he said.

"Yes, I'm from the ER department, do you know a Miss Miranda Dogherty?"

"Yes, of course she's my girlfriend why? What's wrong with her?"

"I'm very sorry, but your girlfriend is no longer here with us."

He choked back tears and sobbed into the phone.

"How did she?"

"She died from sexual abuse by her father. She's covered in bruises, cuts and scrapes."

"And her father?"

"Consequences, she told me that before she went to tell you to read some kind of note?"

"The note!"

"Well, thank you for your time."

"Thanks."

They hung up and he pulled the note from his beloved girlfriend. It said:

Dearest Danny,

I loved you with all of my heart and wanted to say this, I have been sexually abused and harrassed by my own father. That is why I didn't want to sleep at your house. I love you very much. And Danny, please don't forget me and always keep me in your heart. Forever and Always,
