Epilogue

A Year Later

Lily's POV;

“Lily! Don't forget to take your report card home and show your family.” Mrs. Cassy yelled at me as I ran to grab my backpack.

“Already have it! Good-bye Mrs. Cassy! See you next week!” I yelled as I ran out of the door.

He was picking me up today. Just at the thought I ran faster. Teachers in the building yelled at me to stop as I ran past them.

He only picked me up on Fridays and I loved Fridays. Not only did I not have school the next day, but they were our days to hang out.

The sight of him leaning against the truck in front of the school had me smile bigger. He's here. “Daddy!” I yelled. Laughing I threw myself at him hugging the life out of him.

Chuckling at my eagerness he hugged me back. After having my fill of him I let go. Opening the door for me he helped me get inside.

I watched as he went around the truck to climb in the driver’s side. With a smile on his face he started up the truck.

“Where are we heading for today?” He asked me while waiting for my instructions. Every Friday he lets me choose what to do and I give the whole week into thinking about it.

“The movies!” I yelled excitedly thinking about the new movie I had wanted to see. Chuckling he started to drive towards the theater.

Sitting in the comfortable silence I occasionally glanced over at him. He drove with a steady hand as he watched the road.

Leaning over I turned on the radio and smiled as one of our favorite songs came on. Soon the sound of us singing could be heard in the cab.

Life was perfect like this, sitting in the truck with my Dad listening to music. As much as I wanted things to stay this way I knew they wouldn't.

Moms' words about Broken Canvases registered in my mind. I knew without a doubt that mine now showed color on it.

One day that color will be covered up, but I knew along the road that I'd uncover the color once again.

Wow! Can't believe I'm done. Dunno if anyone here thinks I rushed this story, but I feel it went fine! Lily is a loving little girl. She was only afraid of one person, so the healing was not as long as it would of been if she was abused in different ways. To be exact he only abused her body, no sexual abuse either. I don't think I could write that! I hope you guys enjoyed. I know it was short, but this is the first time I actually COMPLETED A BOOK! YAY! :) *jumps up and down at the college library!* Anyways! Please Vote/Comment/ and Fan if you'd like! I really enjoyed writing this story! Also if you see any mistakes tell me and I'll try to fix them!
