My Girls

chapter 11

*Gibbs POV*
Words couldn't describe how I feel right now, I didn't know how to feel. Part of me wanted to kill him, the other part wanted to comfort Emma. First I found out he raped my daughter for over a year, then I found out she was being bullied.  How much did I really not know about my daughter?

*Emma’s POV*
We were watching the interrogation, although it hasn’t really started yet, just a lot of staring and them making him nervous. Ziva and I were talking about random things when we heard the door open. I turn to look at who came in. Griffin and Dad. I haven’t really seen my dad since he found out everything, he tried giving me my phone back but I said no, that it was just pity.

“Hey, I thought you were at school?”
“I was, until I opened your locker to get your jacket out.” I looked at him with confusion although I already knew what was going to happen. He held up the notes.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because, it’s really nothing, it’s just stupid words right.”
“Em, these are words telling you to end your life. Telling you that nobody loves you, which is not true. These are words telling you lies. which you're believing.”
"I'm not believing anything."
"You're lying."
"How the fuck would you know?"
"Because I know you, And whether you want to belive it or not, I care about you. And I'm the only one who knows everything about you. It's so easy for you to believe the negative that you completely block out the positive. Maybe it's not much right now, but someday it will. Emma your life has been hell, you're not the one to blame for that. No matter what you think, none of it is your fault. I know you think it is, but it isn't. No matter what they told you, it isn't." He said, I felt tears spring to my eyes.
"I know none of it is my fault, and those notes mean nothing to me. It isn't affecting me the way you think it is." I stated, obviously lying.
"Really? None of it is affecting you at all? Then why are you aways wearing long sleeves?"
"You know why.."
"Do they?" He questioned.
"You know they don't, Why would even they care?"
"You still think you're alone through everything, don't you?"
"I always have been. Why should that change now? Why should that change because of where we're at now?"
"Look around. If these people didn't care about you, you wouldn't have just gotten out of the hospital, and he wouldn't be in there. Did you lie to me last week, when I asked you that question?" I nodded my head.
"How long has this been going on for?" He said, talking about the notes and the bullying. I didn't answer for a moment.

"Weeks?" I shook my head.
"Months?" I shook my head again.
"Years?" He said, more suprised than anything. I didn't say anything.
"how many?" He said, his voice filled with sorrow.
"It'll be 3 in august." I said, quietly.
"How often?"
"What answer do you want, per year? month? week? day? hell hour?"
"You've kept this hidden from everyone, for 3 years. Going to school getting these notes everyday, going to work getting a case, then home, where you barely even went to sleep because of nightmares. How could you keep all that in?"
"I don't know...."

"What really happened that night you were stabbed?"
"It doesn't matter-"
"The hell it doesn't. What happened?"
"I don't really remember, okay? I was asleep, I woke up, he was there I told him to stop and he hit me and told me to shut up and then I blacked out. once I woke up, I was bleeding so I crawled downstairs, grabbed the house phone and called Griffin to take me to Ducky's."
"Why didn't you just call him on your phone?" Mcgee asked.
"Because two weeks ago I got in a fight. and was suspended for two weeks. And I didn't tell dad, Penn told him.....but not the truth."
"Then what is the truth, that's all I wanted was the truth." Dad said.
"Penn was the one who caused the fight."
"How?"
"When Trish came up to me, she was yelling at me saying that she knows what I did to him. Right then, I knew what was said. He apparently told her that I came on to him. I told her that's not what happened, it's more like what he did to me and I'm not gonna fight her." Griffin and I told them the rest about the fight.
