The Johnson's: The Not So Perfect Family

Stacey sitting there confused and lost. Most importantly she's angry. James is torturing his on kids is beyond sick. He haven't seen him in years but she knew that was going to change. Stacey love her niece is so indescribable. The hurt Rose was feeling Stacey wanted to rip it out of her. It was just the matter of how to do it.

Rose crying let up. She sat up and blew her nose into a piece of tissue. Rose never felt so happy. She felt safe. She didn't know what Stacey wanted her to do or go. One thing she did know is that she wanted to go school. She knew that Stacey already called in sick for the both of them.

"Mrs. Stacey I'm scared. I don't know what to do. My sisters pretends that there's nothing wrong. My mother has no idea on what's going on. No one cares." Rose said as laid back down on the couch.

Stacey put the cover on Rose. "You have to tell your mother Rose. She's going to help you." Stacey replied as sat next to Rose.

"I can't tell her. It wouldn't go well. What about Brooklyn and Monica? I can't let them continue to go through this." Rose voice was scared and anxious. It pained with worry.

"Okay Rose. We will let her know you be at my house for a couple days." Stacey saw the calm and relaxation in Rose face.

Rose had fell back to asleep. Stacey mind went to work on helping Rose. She didn't know what to do or where to start. Stacey just sat at the table and brainstormed. She wanted Rose safe. Not just her but all her sisters. Rose wasn't going to like what Stacey had in mind.

A couple hours rolled by and Rose wakes up. The house is empty. Stacey left a note: Rose. Went to the store for dinner. I got your work from school today. I made you something to eat. It's in the fridge. See you soon.

Rose got up and went in the fridge and got the food out that Stacey made her. It was her famous meatball sandwich. Rose was so hungry. It went so fast. Rose couldn't remember the last time she a had a solid meal. It was the best thing she had ate.

Stacey comes through the door with groceries in her hand. Her and Rose put everything up in the kitchen. Rose was always happy around Stacey. Her telling her that they were niece and aunt was the best news. She wondered why Stacey never told her. Rose didn't touch on it then. They just unpacked the food silently.

Maybe an hour or so later Stacey made dinner for her family and Rose. It was a normal dinner. Felt good to Rose to just relax and laugh. She haven't felt like herself in so long. Afterwards Stacey had sent her daughter and Rose to sleep. Stacey knew what she had to do save Rose. Stacey calls Rose mother Winter.

"Hello." Winter answers the phone.

"Hey Winter it's Stacey. Rose is at my house and there's something going on and I'll like for you to come over if you have time." Stacey was shaking with nerves.

"Okay, I'll be there." Winter replies. They both hang up at the same time.

Stacey didn't know rather to tell Rose or just wait. She figured that it was okay. Well okay till she tells Rose. Stacey was anxious. Her palms were sweating from all the nerves. She prayed that she didn't overreach her boundaries.

There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Stacey looked out the window.

"Winter." Winter was wondering what Stacey would want to talk about.

Stacey opens the door. They come into the kitchen and sit at the table.

"Winter I know you don't know me that well. You know that our kids are close. There are some things that I think needs to be brought to your attention." Stacey said as she pours them some tea.

"Well, enlighten me then." Winter said as she lights her Newport cigarette.

"I don't know how you going to handle this and I really don't know how to say this. Well James is my twin brother. He's a very sick man. He's been raping your daughters while go do miscellaneous things for the house. He does extra things to Rose." Stacey sat back in the chair.

Winter was shock. Almost in disbelief. One thing she felt was that something was going on. She could never pin point it. She was thought that James was cheating and the girls was protecting him. This right here brings things to a hold a new light. Cause one thing Winter does is love her girls. All of them. Rose may not think it but she does.

"How do you know these things. How long?" Winter voice was saddened.

"Rose is here Winter. She doesn't wan you to know. The beating occurs on their 14th birthdays. Just Rose had something special about her. The more sick things happens." Stacey pulls out her journal.

The journal has every thing documented on every sick thing that James did to her. Winter is reading it. Regretting the past twenty years of her marriage. Wishing that her kids would had something sooner. Her heart was breaking with every page she turned. Winter began to cry.

"How didn't I know. My babies." Winter sobbed into hands.

As Stacey goes over to comfort Winter. There's someone coming down the stairs. They cleaned their faces so the kids wouldn't be worried. Looked up and it was Rose. Winter eyes welded up with tears. Rose face all bruised and scared.

Rose begins to cry. Even though a part of her was mad that Stacey called her; she was happy to see her mother. They hugged each other for a really long time.

"Rose what happened to your face?" Winter rubbed hand across Rose face.

Rose didn't know what to say to her mother. She looked over there at Stacey. Stacey gave her the okay. Everything was fine.

"Daddy did this mom. He been raping me. Over and over." Rose cried into her mother arms.

Soon after Rose begins to throw up. Non stop vomiting. Stacey calls for 911. Winter is now scared for her and her daughters. Not to mention that she's beyond the level of piss. Winter knows that whatever it takes to protect them she's going to do it.
