Once It Began

Chapter 1

I'm Lexi. I'm only 6 years old and I love my dad and my mom. Today, my mom is at work so I have come to surprise dad at work. We always play hide and seek so I decided to hide in the closet of his office. I really hope my dad can find me. The door opened and my dad and his secretary, Jill, came in together. "Jill." My dad's voice rang in my ears. "Cancel all the meetings today." I giggle quietly as I suddenly headed his tie shift. I looked through the cracks of the closet door and saw him embrace Jill by the waist. Daddy. What are you doing? Mom's not going to be happy. My eyes slowly widened as he kissed her on the lips. What? Jill placed her hand on my dad and he began to unzip her dress. What are they doing? Just as she began to unzip my father's pants, I burst the closet door and began screaming as he zipped his pants back quickly. "Lex." Dad said surprised. "What are you doing?" He walked over to me and touched my shoulder.

I pushed him away disgusted by his touch. "Don't touch me." I said. My eyes held tears. "Your cheating on mom." I began to wipe my tears as I saw Jill come closer. Eyes of hate pierced through her but she did not notice it.

"Hi Lex." Jill said. "Your daddy's not cheating." She smiled as she touched my back. "I'm just helping him for work."

"Does kissing count?" I asked. "Because mom said lovers only do it. If you and Jill are lovers then what about mommy?" I pulled away from her. 

My dad hovered over me and a chill fell over me. "You're not going to tell mom right?" He asked. "Other wise you and your mom are going to live on the street."

"Are you blackmailing me?" I asked.

He chuckled. "No. I'm not." He said. "If you don't tell your mom, you two can live with me and I can spoil you two. If you tell... I guess I don't have to tell you what will happen to your mom because well... your smart."

Hot tears fell from my eyes as I glared at my dad. What an awesome dad a kid could ever have right? I felt a fire growing in me as he touched me. I screamed as Jill looked at me confused. "Why are you screamng?" She asked.

I slapped my "dad's" hand away. "I don't like you touching me." I said.

He chuckled as he pulled away. "Of course. As my daughter wishes. Anything as long as you don't say anything." I looked away guilty as I looked to the floor. "What would you like to get from daddy today? Your mommy won't be here for a while. Jill will come with us." 

I looked away as my head shook at him. "I'll just shop online." I seethed through my teeth. "I'll just use your computer at home and do it on my own." I said. I began to walk to the door and then stopped as my hand touched the door knob. "Tell Misaki to drive me home. Tell Yashiro to go home for the day." 

"Of course." My dad said. He looked at Jill and then at me. "Jill. Go get Misaki and tell her to drive her home." He pulled his hair back and then wiped his face exhaling. "Lex-" 

"It's Lexi." I said disgusted. 

He sighed. "Lexi." My dad said. "Go home and use the computer. Buy whatever you want." 

I opened the door and left. I walked down the stairs and slowly and sat down, beginning to cry. Misaki walked over to me and rubbed my back. "Are you okay?" Misaki asked. 

I slowly shook my head as I looked at Misaki with my tears streaming down my face. I shook my head a lot and sighed. "I'm not." I hiccupped. I hugged her as I continued to sob. 

"Did you want me to carry you?" Misaki asked. I nodded as Misaki held me in her arms. She carried me into a cradle and hugged me into an embrace. She then picked me up and carried me to the car. She placed me in the car and then she drove me home. 

10 years later... 

I continued to become wary of men but I was still forced to go to a co-ed school. I was constantly asked out and hated it. One day, I went home and as I did alone, I waited at the side of a bus stop. I slowly took my phone out when someone pushed me from behind and I began to fall into the street. My eyes widened as I was suddenly caught by strong arms. I slowly looked back as I was pulled into an embrace onto the sidewalk again. What...? I saw a man with black hair and blue eyes as he looked down at me. His black piercing shone in my eyes as I squinted at him. 

"Are you okay?" He asked. His deep voice rang in my ears.
