"What are you talking about?" I ask, barely audible.
He grabs a fistful of my hair and yanks hard, turning me around. He covers my mouth before I can scream in the pain I just endured. He leans close to my ear. "You will do as I say." Tears cloud my vision of the door I could just easily kick open. Yes, everyone would wonder why I kicked it and they'd look up and see!
I quickly jump back, pushing up against Rick and thrusting my legs forward. The door flies open and makes a loud bang against the wall behind it. "What the hell was that?" Everyone downstairs asks. Mom and Henry trample through the kitchen door.
Everyone stops at the stairs when they see Rick holding me. Rick takes his hand off my mouth and then pulls a gun out from his waistband. "I swear to god I will shoot her," he growls at them as he puts the gun to my head.
"Tyler!" I cry out.
"Rick," I hear Henry. Rick wrenches his body to look at Henry. With his hand still in my hair, I'm pulled with it and I start crying when I'm sure Rick's pulled a clump of hair out. "Rick, let her go," Henry tries negotiating. Rick takes the gun and points it at my mother.
"Mom!" I scream with every ounce of rage in me. Henry and Mom stare at me like I've just gone insane because they can see it in my eyes. I'm filled to the brim with rage. I ram my elbow back, Rick let's go of my hair and before he has a reaction time, I wrench my body around and grab the back of his head, pushing his head down and slamming it into my knee. I step back and wait a second before delivering a swift scissor kick. Rick's still standing. I scream and run up to his hunched over body. I send a kick and he doubles over. His hand lets the gun go and I grab it before anyone else can. I hold it and look at Rick.
"Andrew," Tyler says as he runs up to me.
"You raped me," I begin to whisper, raising the pistol to Rick's head, "you beat me," I continue, wrapping my finger around the trigger, "you ruined me!" The whispers have run to screams.
"Andrew," Tyler whispers. He gets in front of me locking eyes with me. His soft eyes calm me down. He lays his hands on my shoulders and runs his hand down my arm, lowering the gun.
"Tyler," I whisper. The realization of what's happening comes back to me. I shake my head as tears crawl down my cheeks. Tyler takes the gun from my hand and hands it to Henry. Mom pulls me so I look at her, she wipes the tears from my cheeks. "Mom," I whisper.
"Andrew, hun. Why didn't you tell us about all that was going on?" Her voice is comforting.
"I was so scared he would do something like this," I say.
"Well you're okay now, Andrew," Henry says as he pulls me in a warm embrace. This is the first time he's ever hugged me. But the feeling is nice. It feels like he's actually a father right now. Maybe I didn't really understand him at first.
"Cops'll be here soon." Tyler comes back in.

"You're safe from him now," the officer assures me as they push Rick into the vehicle, his hands cuffed behind his back.
"How long do you think he'll be gone?" Mom asks.
"Sexual assault, assault, sexual harassment, conspiracy of murder.... maybe 10 to 20 years," the officer responds.
"Thank you, officer," Mom says sweetly.
He nods. "It's my duty to protect and serve and I'm glad I'm protecting you and your family now, ma'am." He offers a salute to Henry. Henry exchanges it, sending a salute in return. "Have a good night," the officer says as he walks back to the squad car.
