3rd Person POV

The first time she was in trouble. "Yes daddy can we go somewhere and talk?" She looked up to her dad with sad eyes full of grief and pain. He grabbed her hand and walked to his office on the other side of the master bedroom. Her father was an ex service man. He was in the Army for 40 years and retired as a 5 star General. The room was filled with a lot of awards pictures of a couple of the troops he led over the years. Pictures of his tours in wars. The last was Desert Storm years 1990-1991. She was born on Sept 9, 1989. He also was given the purple heart for his valor. She was sitting down on the comfortable seat in front of his desk. He sat on the edge of the desk in front of her. He waited on her. Alisha gathered her breath and closed her eyes. Her heart was thudding loudly in her ears as she relayed the story of 20 years ago.

"Daddy something happened to me when I was 10 years old. Your friend Leon sexually assaulted me." I said, My dad frowned and cursed but he encouraged me to keep talking.

"Dad, I was playing in my bedroom when Leon walked in my room. He picked me up and threw me on the bed. He told me that we were home alone. He rubbed my face and covered my mouth. He told me that he knew I wanted him." Tears ran out of my eyes, but they were still closed. "I didn't do anything to him daddy. He grabbed the front of my shirt and ripped it off. I tried to stop him. He was stronger than me. He took off his belt,pulled his pants down and moved my shorts aside. He tried to enter me. He couldn't do it. He kneeled on me and jerked off on my chest. I was crying, my legs and pelvis hurt. He left me like that."

I cried "Daddy it didn't stop. He would rub my chest to make me grow, he would say. He said he will try me after until I can open enough for him. He tried every month for 2 years. He finally succeeded. I lost my virginity to Leon at 12." my voice was raw and shaky. I opened my eyes. My dad was livid. "He told me he would kill me and hide my body if I told anyone. I am still scared of him, and all men. Is this what I have to look forward too?" My dad grabbed his gun and walked out of the room. I heard a loud bang. I ran out behind my dads' military walk of long and wide steps. Leon was holding his stomach.

My mom was screaming, "What happened?" Dinner had already been over. None of the kids were left in the house. My dad threatened Leon. "Leave before I kill your ass!!" Leon coughed, "Are you going to call the police? A medic? I'm going to die. You will spend time in jail for attempted murder."

"Shut your ass up, Leon! Shantel call the police! Now!" Dad yelled at mom. Alisha ran back to her dads' office to gather my things. Alisha was still crying. She wanted to kick Leon in the face even though he was 65. Her mom followed Alisha while calling the police. She blocked Alisha in the room with her until she got off the phone. "What did you tell your daddy?" Her mother said snappishly. "I told him the truth." Alisha replied looking confused. "I should have made you marry Leon instead." The words rushed out of her mother's mouth. Shantel covered her mouth with a wild look in her eyes.

"Wtf! Excuse me? Mom! What in the hell are you talking about?" Alisha said with her eyes bulging out of their sockets. "I said that I should have made you marry Leon. He wanted you out of all my girls. We, me and Leon were talking about giving you to him, but you went to college and never returned home. You saw your father but not me." Her mom said with indifference. She went on to claim. "I should have given you to him. You were damaged goods." her mother went on not caring about anything. "I am planning to leave your dad anyway so, I don't care either way." Alisha was trembling with anger and fear. She wanted to slap her mom in the face for the first time in her life. Was this really her mom? Alisha pushed her mom to the side and left the house. Leon was being put in an ambulance and the police were taking my father's statement. Alisha went home feeling cold and not feeling good at all. She pulled all her clothes off at the door. She walked into the bathroom, and ran the tub full of water. Her mom and Leon ruined the family. I didn't know she was capable of such things. She trusted her mother with her life. How could she keep this a secret?

Alisha thought. Alisha stayed in the tub for another 15 minutes washed the left over dried tears off her face. She got out and dried her hair pinned it back, she put on her nightgown. Put on her bonnet, and pulled back the sheets to lay down.

12 midnight

There was a knock on the door. It was the police. "I need you to come down to the station to make a statement." "I was in bed. I need some clothes." Alisha told the cop dryly. Then she closed the door in his face. Once dressed in a pair of khakis, Sweater, and boots. Alisha grabbed her pull over, and walked outside. The officer was waiting on the walk-up porch that leads to her door. He saw her and told her to come with him. She got in the squad car they drove to the precinct close to her family's home. The office was down the hall from the holding cell where my father was located. She sat down behind a table. The officer that brought her offered her a bottle of water. She took it and sighed. The officer sat down across from her. "This isn't an interrogation, but your testimony will help our investigation. Your father is being held on bond, and you know why Ms.McFadden." He stated.

She shuttered in response. Her eyes closed as she retold the story that she'd only told twice already. The officer had a very calm face and a soft voice as he inscribed the statement for all to review.

"Ms. McFadden due to the nature of this crime it is rape and sexual assault over a period of time. I'm sorry to say that. It has been 20 years and according to Ohio State law. If you reported it, or if there is any evidence of sexual activity; such as semen or saliva we can convict him with felony charge, prison time. He will also have to report as a sexual offender." He told me.

"Matter of fact, he is a pedophile. Due to his age and health he can't do you any harm."

That didn't do Alisha any good. She shook her head. So with any sexual assault. She has 11 to 20 years to charge Leon with it. Disheartened Alisha asked the officer.

"What about my daddy?" "Well since your statement we will have to charge him with a crime of passion. You can bail him out now but. We will have to go to the judge for an appointed charge." He said, "I'm going to get my daddy out. What do I need to do?" Alisha asked with a stronger voice.
