The Blending of The Blackbourne and Toma Teams ( Completed)

9

I sat at the island and ate the food that was placed in front of me slowly trying to drag out the time I didn't want to do this but I know it needs to be done

" Little One you Okay "
" I've been better Daddy Axel "
" I know baby " he says as he hugs me and kisses my head
" Is everyone here" I asked
" Yes all the families the little ones are all upstairs playing while the rest of us talk " Daddy said

" Okay I'll be ready in a few " I say as I get up and put my plate in the sink .
I look out the window at the sink I see a butterfly landing on the bushes along the walkway
Arms come around me I tense up for a moment
Until the familiar scent invades my nose
" Harper "
" Yes "
" You gave me a heart attack today"
" I'm sorry I didn't mean too " I say while trying to stifle my tears
His hands on my hips make me turn around to face then his finger lifts up my chin so that my eyes meet his
" I don't know what is going on but you know that you can trust me Harper with anything Right"
" Yes Sammy I do know that and by the end of the night you , your siblings and mine will all know what Your Family and mine know " I say
He pulls me into a bear hug i mean a bone crushing one not that I minded at all I felt safe and dare I say loved even if it was more of a Brotherly love that Sammy was giving .

He took my hand and we walked into the Conference room yes I said Conference room and Yes we have one too at our House too .
Everyone was already in the room parents and the older kids Jacks , Grey , Mikey , Beanie , Caleb , Melody who gave me a sad smile , Morgan, Mason , Cole and Victoria.

" Have a seat Harper " Owen said

I took a seat next to Morgan then Sammy took the other side . Mason was next to Sammy

" We are all here because of something that happened two years ago that we thought we took care of , As you all know Harper dated a guy Todd Sullivan two years ago "

There was a round yes

" Well A couple days ago Todd decided to make his presence Know again , Todd texted her then later he tried to hurt Harper when she was at Dustin's party but Dustin Stopped it .
Then tonight he took and visited Dustin saying that not even him or her family would stand his way of getting at Harper "

" What do you mean Dad" Mason Asked

" I'll answer that in a minute but first Harper tell the family what happened to you two years ago if you feel like you can't get through it just let us know we will finish the story " Owen said

" Okay um how do I start this " I said as I looked around the room
" Baby just tell them what you can " Papa Brandon said

" Alright two years ago Todd and I dated at first it was a good relationship but as he started to pressure me more into wanting to have sex it got  but I didn't want to, I didn't have the deep feelings for him to have sex then because I told him no it got physical between us any chance he could he would accuse me of flirty with guys and if  he had any thought that the guy like me more than a friend he would hit me it started out with like a little slap on the arm or shoulder then one night after dinner he held me up against the wall with his arm across my neck choking me then he grabbed my arm so hard leaving finger indents on my arm well that night I went to see Uncle Kota , I don't Know What he did or said to Todd but Things changed for the better for a while then it got to the point he would verbally abuse me his way of making sure there are no physical marks on me until one night he physically attacked me , he um " I had to stop for a moment to keep my focus on what I wanted to say

Both my hands were lifted up and fingers interlaced I looked down I see Sammy had one and Morgan had the other both gave a soft squeeze

"He held me down in his living room hitting me until I passed out then when I woke up I was ummmm..... I was tied to the bed naked , he was standing at he end of the bed watching me he said  I was going to give him what he wanted and no one was going stop him
I screamed somehow I must have said Uncle Norths name and my phone called him he heard me screaming for help, Todd smacked me hard and said that no one was coming so shut up he then grabbed a knife and made several small cuts across my belly then across both breast was about to Rape me when we both heard the front door come flying open and bang against the wall .
