Chapter 30

Kayla

I've been so distant from all of my family including my mom. I'm just sick of everything and I hate everyone right now. I'm so different from the rest of the family so I've just been trying to find others outside the family to get support from. I've had my guy friend, Nash Reed, around because I'm no longer involved with the last guy. I don't have any female friends...at all. 

Nash and I were hanging out at his place with his family simply for the fact that they loved me for me and I love that feeling. 

"Kayla, do you want anything to eat? I can fix something up really quick." Nash's mom said to me.

"No ma'am. I'm fine, thank you." I told her as he and I sat on the couch in their den.

"Okay, well you're welcomed to anything you want here. I'm gonna go get some rest upstairs. Let me know if you need anything." she said.

"Alright ma, we straight." Nash said grinning.

His mom walked out and it was just me and him sitting there staring at one another. I just haven't felt like myself lately and I think he was picking up on it.

"What's going on with you?" Nash asked.

"Everything...I'm tired of being so angry all of the time. It feels like the devil is constantly on my back breathing down my neck pushing me further into hell." I said trying to describe the way I felt.

"What has you feeling like that? I saw that you wasn't kicking it with ol' boy no more. Is it because of him?"

I felt tears forming and I began having a hot flash just sitting there and my breathing felt a bit labored.

Nash grabbed my hand and moved closer to me on the couch and just stared at me.

"Tell me what's wrong because it seems to be really bothering you." he said turning my face to him.

Just as he did so a single tear rolled down my cheek. I just couldn't make eye contact with him at the moment.

"Promise you won't mention it to anyone." I said trying to catch my breath.

"I promise I won't, what's wrong?" 

"I was drugged and raped...on several occasions.." I said looking down at my hands.

It took him a moment before he said anything. "Who did it to you?"

"My mom let her boyfriends do it to me..." I told him as I stood up and walked outside.

I needed to smoke right now, it's been the only thing keeping me sane. I instantly lit the blunt and started to smoke it as I began walking down the street. Nash caught up to me and grabbed my hand.

"Wait, slow down..." he said.

"What?" I questioned.

"Why haven't you told anyone? You have to go to the police." he said.
