I couldn't breath. I couldn't move. Laura, Laura, Laura. That name seemed so familiar. 

I stepped back but the floor boards creaked and it had brought my parents attention. ''Lacey is that you?''

I was too frozen on the spot to try and move. I knew my eyes were wide and still full of tears. I could still felt the moisture in my eyes.

My parents appeared from behind the door and stared at me with shock and regret filled in their blue and brown eyes.

''How much did you hear Lacey?'' My farther asked. He was trying to remain calm, but he himself was on the verge of tears. He only cried if my mom was upset about something.

''Who's Laura?''

''I think it's time Alex.'' My mom whispered. She took my hand and pulled me gently along with her.

Once we were in the kitchen, my mom sat me down and started making us all a hot drink. My dad entered the room with a wooden box. 

He laid the box on the coffee table in front of me. It looked really familiar.

'Lacey and Laura's memories' 

Was the words that were carved on it. ''What is this?'' I asked dad.

''Lets just wait for your mother sweetie.'' I agreed shakily.

Once my mom sat down with three mugs, she and my dad across from me, looking worried. ''Can you please tell me what's going on?'' I opened the box and looked at the photo's. There was me at the age of eight and a girl around my same age. She had long black hair and amazing green eyes. The other photo's were just the same but in different positions. On a swing set, on the beach, on the couch asleep and some other places.

''Remember when I said we wans't allowed to mention my uncle's Tom and Jason and especially not grandpa?'' I nodded.

''Well the reason is because . . .'' My farther took my mothers hand and looked at her. She looked like she was in so much pain. Tears swelled in her eyes.

''Is because they used to abuse your mother.'' Those words felt like I had been stabbed. My mom had gotten abused by her own family?

''And your mom get's very upset every time they are mentioned.'' I nodded, glancing at my mom. She looked so scared. She was even taking deep breaths, though she still didn't speak.

''Me and your mom first met when I had defended her when some school bullies started to annoy her. Then we met again at the cafe we work at. We dated for a week and a couple of days until summer ended.'' My dad took a breath and I saw my mom squeeze his hand.

''I found out that I was her teacher.'' My eyes widened. Is that why they wanted me to be with Chase?

''He had ended it once we were alone and it broke my heart. He was my first boyfriend. I never really trusted people for what my farther and brothers had done to me. After months of being alone, it was my birthday and he was sick of being away from me.'' I was shocked that my mothers voice was normal.
