Flashback
He pushed me onto the bed as I cried out for help. My mother came running towards me to pull him off and as she did he turned around and swung at her face. I squeezed my eyes closed as I heard my mother scream in pain. She pushed herself off of the floor and pushed him away from her. He was drunk again. He pushed her to the ground and punched her in the face repeatedly. She cried out in agony and I was scared. I hopped up and ran over to her. Her mouth was bleeding and she had a black eye. I pushed him away and picked my mother up. I rushed her to my bedroom and grabbed my gun. I checked the barrel and made sure that bullets inside, then left my room and locked the door from the outside. I already had food and snacks inside my room along with a first aid kit. I went to my fathers room to see him on the floor trying to stand up. "Leave now." I said. "You can't kick me out, I pay the bills." he laughed. " You've hurt me and my mother you have to go." I say. "And what will you do if I don't?" he asked. I pull the gun from behind my back and turn it towards him "I'll shoot you.". His eyes widen as he looks at the gun pointed at him. "You wouldn't do that...I'm your father." he chuckled humorlessly. I looked him dead in the eye and said "Oh trust me I would." I say "You have hurt me and my mother for so long. Ever since Jordan died you've abused me and mom. Just because your extremely hurt doesn't mean we want to feel worse pain. You've already lost your son do you want to lose your wife and daughter next?" I scream. I look in his eyes and see the pain and regret. "Stop getting drunk every night to get rid of the pain. Instead get some help. Spend time with the family you have left. Jordans accident wasn't your fault. He was drunk driving and if you don't stop drinking you might have the same fate please." I begged. He stood up and walked towards me. He pulled me toward him in a hug and cried on my shoulder. I held him close as I cried too. He stepped away and looked me in the eye. "I promise to get better get some help and spend time with you and your mother." he whispered. I smile at him and was glad that this could possibly mean the end of our abuse.

Present Day
Lindsey P.O.V
I look at Aiden. I don't want to tell him the truth of my fathers promise and what happened that broke it. " He didn't rape me. He used to abuse my mother and I." I tell him vaguely. He looks into my eyes and can see that I'm telling the truth. "Go take a shower and meet downstairs with the girls." he says. I nod and smile slightly as I grab my things and make my way into the bathroom. I turn the water on and make sure the temperature is just right. I step inside and wash my hair out. My hair was matted and started to turn brown when the natural color was blond. After I do my hair it falls all around my eyes. I push it back for right now and finish cleaning my body which was almost as dirty. I step out and wrap a blue towel around me. I guess one of the girls messed up with laundry again because all the towels were white before. I giggle to myself as I walk out of the bathroom. I dry my body then my hair with my towel then put on my underwear. I put on my sweatpants and dry my hair with the dryer. I put on my shirt and brush my hair out. When I actually look decent I head downstairs. I hear the girls giggling and head in that direction. I sit down on the couch and smile at everyone. They all come and hug me and we continue the conversation for about another hour.
