Chapter 21 Rebecca's pov

The ride to my moms was a long silent one. I rest one elbow on the arm rest of my seat. Trey slips his hand into mine as I let out a sigh. "Everything will be fine Rebecca, I'm here." That's what worries me, Trey is the only guy who knows about my whole past. I can't stop him, he might just kill her. We reach the house it looked more like a shack.

I feel goosebumps form on my arms. I step out of the car trembling, Trey comes up to me, his arms engulfing me. He rest his chin on my head, I hug him tightly back. "Easy leech, you are squeezing me to death." Trey chokes out, oh I forgot about my new strength, I chuckle as I release him. "You can do it." I walk to the door.

My fears all come rushing back to me. What if Joey answers? What if he beats me? What if my mom doesn't want to see me? No I can't. I start to turn around, but collide into Treys chest. He gives me the look 'just fucking knock already' I glare at him letting out a sigh. I knock on the door and a old lady answers the door.

It's not my mother, I remember my mother enough to know it's not her.
"Hello my dear, is there something you need?" The old lady asks smiling at me.
"Is there a Haley Avalon here?" I ask nervously, that lady eyes light up.

"The Haley Avalon live here? Haha good one dear. Yea she's only my favorite actress. I don't know why she would even be in this area. She's famous!" The lady exclaims. My mom famous? No way not possible, glad to see she never bothered looking for me.

"Oh dear, you look upset? Did you get told by some fake person she was here? I'm sorry dear, want a cookie?" She asks holding the door open. I walk in, and the memories come in waves swallowing me whole. That corner I remember being beat. I look next to the fire place and see me as a child being attacked by Uncle Joeys German Shepard attacking me. He command the dog to attack me.

Tears form in my eyes. Trey places his hand on my back, rubbing it back and forth. "Can I use your bathroom?" I ask the lady.

"It's down the hallway." I know I think to myself. I walk down the hallway, still singing ever memory. I stop at the stair case. I crawl to the tiny space behind the stairs, I dig my fingers into a crack in the wooden floor and pull up. The board comes out just like when I was a kid, I feel a smile come to my lips I reach in and pull out my teddy bear. I had to keep it hidden as a child or Joey would take it and throw it away. I didn't get it from just anybody but someone very special.

*Flashback*

"You worthless piece of shit!" Uncle Joey screams, slapping me across the face. Tears stream down my face. I am worthless. That's what Joey says so that's what I am. Who cares if it's my fourth birthday! I'm worthless, a bitch that caused my mother pain.

Uncle Joey grabs my hair and drags me to fire place. I struggle and scream as he drags me closer to the fire. His hand wraps around my little wrist. I look at him terrified of what he might do, his eyes were empty.... Emotionless. No love, just pure hate.

"Who are you!" Uncle Joey screams at me. I see bruises start to form under his fingers that latch onto my arm.
"Rebecca Avalon." I cry out as his grip tightens. He pushes my hand closer to the fire. "No please no!!!" I scream and he smacks my face. He gets my hand close to the fire and I feel my hand burn, he pulls it back.

"I fucking asked who are you!" Uncle Joey shouts, I see the flames from the fire dancing in his eyes. He looks scary. I let out a whimper.

"Rebecca." I whisper, what is he going to do. It's not like I'm lying. He shoves my hand into fire, I let out a ear piercing scream. I feel my skin starting to burn off layers. He pulls my hand back out again. My nails were almost completely burned off and whatever I had left was brown. My skin has blood dripping down my hand, the skin was turning colors.
