Rules

Authors Note-- this picture is Christina, yeah.

Christinas POV-
I heard Marshall call me from upstairs and Hailie showed me the way, because I've been here for 3 days so far and I couldn't find my way around this massive house.

"Hi Dad... Marshall." I sighed, I didn't know what he wanted me to call him, he was like a dad to me.
"I'm not gonna push you to call me anythin you don't wanna." He shook his head. "But I do wanna talk to you about the rules. I wanted to wait till you got everything settled in nd stuff before I talked to you."
"Okay." I said.
"I want you to be happy here, so I just wanna get dis over with. Okay so no swearing ever, um no hitting, no talking back, that's all I can think of now so, uh go have fun." He said motioning downstairs. I was feeling a bit upset, I hadn't told him something important to me, I have a severe depression and I've been getting back to cutting recently.
"Christina, you aight?" He said watching the small tear roll down my cheeks.
"Marshall I really need to tell you something." I sniffled, he knelt in front of me and held my face in his hands,whipping my tears.
"Yes baby..." He gave me a concerned look. I rolled up my sleeves and let him see them, I can really trust him because he really is one of the best people to me, he is really like a dad to me. "Aww baby, why? I thought somethin was up wit you." I nodded my head not saying a word. He pulled me into a tight hug. "Don't worry you're okay, why do you do this?"
"What do you mean why? I have told you how I was abused and it caused a really severe depression for me."
"Okay, but you can't do this no more, I won't allow it in this house. Or anywhere as long as you're wit me. I know for a fact dat you're stronger than this, so we're gonna go downstairs and we're gonna watch a movie or somethin and if the girls ask if somethins wrong you're gonna say you're tired or somethin. Okay?"
"Okay."
