Once I stopped crying, Vic ran us a warm bath, knowing I was still sore from the previous night. He began to wash me, slowly, as if to be cautious.
"Vic, just ask what you want to ask. I wont be mad at you, for asking. I knew it was going to happen, before he did. I knew I was going to have to explain it to you, at some point. I just didnt realize that it would be now, instead of years ahead." I looked up at him. He looked like someone ripped his heart out of his chest, stomped on it, and then set it on fire. I could see so many emotions behind his eyes. Hurt, Disappointment, Confusion, but my favorite that I've seen so far, Love.
"What did your dad do to you, babe, when he found you doing something he did not like? Am I even going to like this answer?"I shook my head. "He would hit me, Vic. At first it started as mean words, telling me that I was disrespectful, a worthless child, someone that should know better. As years when on, I was so used to the mean words, that I didn't expect him to start smacking me around. I had busted lips practically all the time. Kellin didn't quite understand, but I just kept lying about how they got there. That's what dad wanted. All lies. The moment he broke my nose with a slap to the face, when I was 15 was when things changed. He got more violent, more aggressive. The scars on the tops of my arms aren't from me. My dad used to whip me when he couldn't find pleasure in hitting me anymore. Vic, I dont want Kellin to end up like that... What do I do?" I trailed off.
I looked over at him, while he was climbing out of the tub. "I honestly don't want my girl staying here if it is gonna make her unhappy." My stupid brain only heard the two words.
My Girl.
"Vic, did you just call me your girl?" I looked at him with the biggest smile on my face. His face turned red.
"Maybe I did. Why? Do you not want to be my girl? Did I say it too early? Oh jeez. Im so stupid. Im so sorry Jennifer. What can I do to fix it?" He started to ramble. I did the only thing I know that would make him shut up. I kissed him - hard."I think it's time I go to San Diego for a while. Kellin needs some time alone, and I need time away from him... The only thing is, I don't have any where to stay..." I started to look down. He lifted my chin with his knuckles, kissed me gently and said the most wonderful three words.
"Stay with me."
