This is Love.

Chapter 35.

Saturday 5.23am-
"So you really thought you could get away from me huh?" Bradley said as he stood in my room. I tried to reach for my phone to call the police, but he gripped my wrist so tight I dropped the phone instantly.

"How did you get in my house?" I screamed.

"Shut your mouth!" Bradley said duct taping my mouth shut. "You got me in trouble with the police, now it's time for me to get my revenge".

Bradley climbed on top of me and started to undo his belt buckle.

"Stop!" I shouted. Sitting up, my heart was racing and I was sweating buckets. I checked the time on my bedside table, it read 5.23am.

I got up, said my prayers, and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I was too frightened to go back to sleep. I made myself a green tea, and walked into the front room, I picked up my devotional, and sat down on the sofa to read it.

7.00am-
I finished reading and started to walk towards the stairs.

Isla walked down in her dressing gown, and bonnet she was yawning. "Hey Mils, have you been down here all night?" She asked.

"No". I replied. Isla shrugged and walked into the kitchen, boiling the kettle.

Just then I saw mum, and dad coming out of their room all dressed up. Oh yes, today they were leading a talk at a seminar, I almost forgot.

"Good morning girls". Mum said as she gave us a cuddle each. I cringed at her touch, as I was still traumatised by Bradley. I don't know if my mum realised I cringed or not.

"How was last night honey?" Dad asked, as he gave Isla a hug, and then me. I couldn't even hug my dad back. Tears filled my eyes, I couldn't take it anymore.

"What happened?" Mum said, as she walked towards me.

"Let's sit down" I said.

Mum, dad and Isla's faces were filled with worry.

"Just say it". Isla said.

I closed my eyes, exhaled and said. "Last night, I was a victim of sexual harassment. If I didn't kick the guy, and scream for my life he would of raped me". Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"WHAT THE F***!" My dad shouted, and stood up, causing me to jump.

"Mila" mum said. Her eyes now filling up with tears too.

Isla, put her hands up over her face.

My dad started to pace, "who was it?" He asked, three times. "Was it Daniel because, I am going to go his house right now. Give me his address, MILA".

My dad was absolutely raging. He started to angry cry, eyes filled with tears. His eyes were red, and veins popped out of his forehead and because he was frowning so hard.

"It wasn't Daniel, Dad please stop! It was a guy from work. My boss already called the police on him, he probably spent the night in jail. It has been handled Dad, please just calm down".

Dad sniffed, took his glass off, and wiped his eyes. He came to stand next to me, and just stared, "are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes, I am. You and mum need to go, please just get ready. I do not want you to be late, I smiled uncertainly at my dad. I saw him relax a little bit.

"Can I just say, I do not want you all to be sad or angry. Bradley is going to be in big trouble, be rest assured that justice has been and will be served. I am going to heal everyday, it is not going to be easy but I will heal. Get on with your day, get on with your lives. I am also going to be at Daniel's today, probably till late. Please do not wait up, I will have keys. If it is too late, I may spend the night. We are celebrating our 2 month anniversary".
