Chapter 4

Emmelyn's P.O.V

"Yeah, I'm afraid of boys, Ricky! James, my dad, he raped, abused, and hurt me." I spoke.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ricky whispered.

"No, dad, I'm not. I'm afraid of Kian and Jc."

"You called me dad," he smiled, "I'll protect you, Princess." 

"I love you." I whispered to dad. "I love you too, Princess." 

I got up and went to talk to Brie, Libbey and Aria.

"Emma, how old are you?" Aria asked.

"Aria, my name is Emme, and I'm 13."

"Oh. Can I talk to you?" Aria asked.

I grabbed her hand and led her outside.

"Do we have a mum?" Aria asked, "I always thought of Libbey as my mum. But she isn't. And where did dad go? Libbey refused to tell me. I'm not a baby anymore! Everytime I ask about mum, she cries." 

"Promise you won't tell Libbey I told you." she nodded.

"Our mum, she was so pretty. She looked just like Libbey. We look like our dad, sadly. Mum was in a car accident and died. Dad took it very hard, he got into drugs and alcohol. He abused us, raped us, hurt us physically and mentally. Libbey took you and left, promising she would come back for me. She never did. I called the cops and they came, put me in a foster home and took James, our old dad, to jail. I've been in the foster home for ten years. That's where I met Brie. We were so lucky we got adopted at the same time, place, family and home."

Aria was in tears. He hugged me and whispered, "I'm so sorry." 

I told her to go take a shower, she got up and did.

Next thing you know, Libbey came down upset.

"She keeps asking about my and dad." she cried...

I couldn't tell her I told Aria.

Maybe I should've known not to tell her.
