• My Echo • A Mikey Fusco Love Story ❤ [4]

 Rachel slowly stepped out of the shower and wrapped the baby pink towel around herself and walked up to the mirror. She stared at the cuts on her left cheek, and tears began to burn in the back of her deep brown eyes. She swallowed hard and took a sharp breath and closed her eyes for a moment, then combed through her wet hair and threw it on top of her head in a messy bun and put on a black stretchy head band that she found on the sink. She stepped outside of the bathroom and checked to make sure the door was closed and locked before dropping the towel and walking to her bed.

Mikey looked out his window again as he saw the girl's bedroom light turn on, and he froze in place as he stared at the girl in the room, his eyes trailing down her exposed body. He swallowed hard as a warm sensation flooded through his body and was slowly creeping down. He knew he shouldn't be watching her, he didn't even know her, but he couldn't look away. Not only was her face perfect, but the body he was staring at was flawless. He watched as she slowly dressed herself again, and he quickly shook his head and looked away.

Rachel looked in the mirror at the light pink Soffee's Sasha had bought for her to sleep in and the white tight fitted v-neck that had the words Dream in black written on it in the middle. She slipped on the white Ugg slippers that were at the foot of her bed and slowly made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen where she heard Sasha and a man's voice having a conversation.

"Rachel!" Sasha smiled, moving away from the stove as she saw her enter the kitchen, "Meet John, he's my husband," John turned to Rachel and gave her a warming smile as he held out his hand.

Rachel shyly smiled back and shook his hand to be polite, though she was trembling on the inside.

-

"Hey mom?" Called Mikey as he skipped down the stairs and greeted his mom in the living room, "When are we gonna go over and say hi to Sasha and John?" He asked, and his mom slowly stood up and started walking to the kitchen.

"Tomorrow, they invited us over for dinner to meet the girl they've taken in," she nodded as she began to gather ingredients for dinner. 

"Do you know her name..?" He asked, the images of her stunning face and body filling his mind.

"Rachel I believe, why are you so interested in this girl?" She asked, looking at him from the stove. Mikey shrugged slightly and ran upstairs back into his bedroom.

-

"So Rachel," asked John as he took a bite of the Pizza he had brought home, "If you don't mind me asking... where did those cuts come from?" 

Rachel looked up at him and stabbed the pizza on her plate lightly. She was used to lying to cover up the things her mom had done to her, but did she have to do that here?

"My mom," she coughed slightly, moving the pizza around on her plate. John shook his head and put the pizza that was in his hand down.

"I'm sorry you had to live with that," he moved his hand over hers to pat it gently but Rachel quickly moved it away.

"Sorry," she stumbled out; her heart was racing.

"I understand," he nodded, giving Sasha a look.

"Is... is it okay if I go to... my room? I'm sorry I didn't eat much, I'm just not that hungry."

"Of course honey," replied Sasha, and Rachel hurried up the stairs and into her room and slid down the door as tears began to slide down the plump of her cheeks.

She couldn't breathe, nor could she move. She was scared, and no one could understand why but her. She had been scared of men since she was little, but what had happened to her just 4 years ago scarred her for life. She couldn't be around the opposite sex without fear taking over; that night, a part of her died. She was constantly scared, especially at school. Going to the bathroom was a challenge because whenever she would see one of the boys in the hallway, she was scared they would follow her into the bathroom. She hadn't just been raped that one night, every night after that she had to relive those moments in her mind as she tried to sleep.

"Why am I so fucked up?" She sobbed to herself in the silence of her dark room as she hugged her knees with all the strength inside of her tiny body.
