Sweet & Soft

A little Story

So I just graduated and in a few weeks I'd be 18. My parents had been arrested and I was going to UCLA with a full scholarship in August. I stayed with my aunt till the case would be closed. They were both sent to jail the day before my birthday. Before that though I stayed with my aunt who was dating this guy. She had the house to herself except for me, but she loved me cause she had 5 boys so I was like her only daughter. After my parents she was the only one I trusted and loved like a mother.

I got to know her boyfriend. Denis, he took her out on dates and romanced her. Then he'd chill with me and play video games. He was like a father. On my birthday I showed him a boy that had a crush on me.  He gave me a smile but it was faint I brushed it off. Me and the boy chilled the rest of the day. We talked and walked and enjoyed each others company.

Once I got home Denis and my aunt hadn't been there. I came back from the best date of my life. I could care less. But when they did get home. My aunt started treating me different. Denis would comfort me when she left. She called me names and pushed me. She tried to fight me.

I didn't understand it. I was heart broken. The next day the hate continued. When she left for work, Denis would comfort me. He'd cook and watch TV with me. Whatever she told me. He'd counter object it. I felt closer to him.

Then the next night. I was watching TV on the couch and she came downstairs and grabbed me by my hair. She pulled me out the house and put me into her trunk.

The last thing I saw was Denis reaching out the window in his room. The trunk closed.

Denis- dont do this Jackie! (my aunt)

Jackie- come get ya bitch Denis!

Next thing I heard was someone get in the car and drive off. I screamed and kicked the trunk till I passed out. I freak out in closed spaces sometimes.

Once we got to our destination. I was sitting in a room tied to a chair.

Jackie- this your new home. Cause you can't be trusted. I hate you.

My mouth was tapped up. How could she do this to me. I cried hard.

Jackie- I hope they break you hear. That'll teach ya little fresh ass. You might as well stay here. If I don't want you. No one does.

After that she was gone. I cried over and over. Not knowing where I was. I fell asleep and the door opened. I fell out the chair. Literally. I wondered wear the ropes and the thing covering NY mouth went.

Denis- hey you ok, baby girl.

I look up and run to Denis. It felt like he was all I had left. In my mind that's what I believed so I held onto him like that. He held on the same way. I cried onto him and he held me. It was comforting.

Hours passed before I calmed down. We played on an office floor with closed up windows. Denis had asked me if I wanted to stay here. I couldn't answer so he just held me.

Me- no one else wants me. So I guess staying here is my best option.

He sat up and I just laid there looking at the ceiling.

Denis- your wrong. I want you. You're not alone with me.

Denis had brought me clothes. We hung out a lot. Just talking and eating. We played games and got closer. I actually wanted him to be my boyfriend, but he's almost 30. Good looking though. There were other times where he had me in the room and told me to lock the door behind him. Then I wouldn't see him for a few days.

I didn't think anything of it. I usually just slept when he wasn't there. It was to lonely to stay up. One day though, Denis had left. I took my normal nap but I heard a scream and a thud. I woke up from my half sleep. My door swung open and 2 girls ran in. The black looking one (Lala) slammed the door and locked it. I was so confused. Then my eyes reached the Spanish looking one (Josie). She looked at me and came toward me. I dont know why but I backed up a little even though she was so small. Half way to me her eyes rolled to the back of her head and I caught her.

Me- hey mama. Hey- hey. I-its OK. I drag her body to the bed I had by the wall. I sit her in between my legs.

Lala- leave us the fuck alone!! When Denis gets here, He's gonna fuck y'all up! If he dont I fucking will!!

The banging stopped and the girl looked around the room then saw us. I'd seen them before. The one in my arms had given me chocolate once and the one in front of me had disliked me since I got here.

We didn't talk to each other but once she heard the front door close. I went and got hot water to put on a towel and put on her head. Lala was patting Josie's head when I got back.

Me- what happened?

Lala- ...they wanted to rape her.

Me- ...I'm-

Lala- I know who you are.

She didn't even look at me.

Me- have I done something to you? Like do I know you.

Lala- no.

Me- so the fuck is ya prolem?

Lala- you are bitch.

Errrrr.. I ain't know lala and I was bout done with her attitutde towards me. Now we stared at each other.

Me- bitch what?

Lala- you so fucking stupid.

I stood up and so did she. Me and her were sortof the same height.

Me- repeat that again. How am I stupid ma?

Lala- where are you?

Josie- lala...

She looked to Josie and dropped to her side. I got on my knees a little after. I took a breath.

Me- are you OK?

Josie- yea. Just a little shock. Did I pass out?

Lala- yea.

Me- we should get you to a hospital.

Lala starts laughing hysterically.

Me- I say something funny joker look a like.

She stopped and stale faced me.

Josie- chill out y'all...Look D this ain't no hideaway or whatever Denis told you

Lala- your in a brothel and Denis is the mastermind. Your loved one didn't just flip on you. It was all planned out. Denis has a little story for all his victims.

Josie- he got me through my boyfriend.

And Josie through her grandma.

Denis had pretended to be Josie's boyfriends friend and one day her boyfriend flipped on her. Denis promised her saftwy and friendship. With lala it was way more complicated but Denis was pulling the strings and he had got us here. Lala and Josie had been here for 4 months. They found out by Denis's brothers (the rapists) that this was a brothel. They had gone on trips to grown men's houses. We were in the master building. This is where you Denis would chose 4 girls and put them in here because we would sell for the big bucks. At that time I didn't know what happened when the next 4 came. Cause apparently this was a family business and he'd been doing this since he was 16.

(A/N- happy new year #2015!! the next chapter will sort of start off with the little story but she'll finish telling it later on in the story.)
