The Confession (on hold)

Chapter 1

April Pov

"Ms.Gates, you won't be able to leave until you tell me what happened." I couldn't tell her a lie I knew she would she right through me. "Okay, where would you like me to start?" I said looking her right in the eyes trying not to cry. "From the very beginning please." I hesitated but I thought I mind as well tell. I was eventually going to have to tell. "It all started when I was 10. Life was perfect then me, and my parents would always do something fun on the weekends. We would go to the movies, park, have a little picnic, and a lot of other fun things. They would even let me invite friends. My father would treat me like a princess. Everything was great until that one night when the police came to my house and told my mother that my father died in a shooting. He said they used my father as a human shield. The man that did it was in jail. When he told my mother that she sat down and started crying. I really didn't understand too much of what was going on. About 30 minutes later she came upstairs and told me what was going on. I remember crying for the rest of that night. After that night everything went downhill." I started crying and tried to wipe my tears before she noticed. "Did you have family members in your life when this was going on?"

"No it was just us. Well until she met a guy. His name was John. After one night of drinking she brought him home with her. Soon after that he moved in with us. That's when life became a living hell. My mom worked and John didn't because he was recently fired. So he laid around the house all day drinking."

"Did he ever touch you or abused you?"

"Yes, I remember the first time he touched me I was 13. I was walking him with one of my male friends. When I got in the house he started questing me. "Who was that I know it wasn't your boyfriend." When he was saying that I saw him taking his leather belt off. "Was that your boyfriend?" No I said with tears coming down my eyes. "Do you think I'm dumb I know that was your boyfriend. How dare you lie to me."

"I'm sorry please don't hurt me." After that being said he started wiping me. It felt like he was using all of his strength. "I bet you think twice before lying to me again." After that I ran upstairs and cried. I couldn't sit down because I was really in bad pain. I just knew I was going to have bruises in the morning. After the pain went away some I finally went to sleep. I was scared to tell my mother. She was very drunk when she came in."

"Did your mother ever find out about that situation."

"She did but she really didn't care. That's when he beat on me more. For no reason just for fun. He would even beat me in front of her. She wouldn't say anything, all she would do was laugh and sometimes join in.

When I was about 15 going on 16 my mother started using drugs with John. Which made things worse because most of the money went to the drugs. So we hardly kept food in the house. I couldn't get as much new clothes as I wanted. They would leave the house a mess which I had to clean up."
