Today is Thanksgiving and to say I'm okay couldn't be further from the truth and I suppose this year will be like that last, since the Marshalls and the McCanns haven't been able to get along since Connor and Alexa's falling out. Jason will be with his family and I'll be with mine.

Personally, I think it's stupid that our fathers act like bigger children than we do. I mean if it wasn't for Jason and Connor, I'd probably still be trapped in that room with Cody.

No one seems to care about the present

It's been a month since the attack and I'm still not over it, I don't think I ever will or can be. It's crazy that Alexa and I got attack by the same guy but the difference is I'm gonna start sleeping around to make me feel better.

Truth is, I don't really wanna sleep with anyone since this happened, I'm still jumpy and cautious of who I trust and let myself be around. I can't be left alone with a male let alone have them touch me. I jump when my dad tries to comfort me, I jump if I even hear a deep voice.

Hell, sometimes Jason's touch and voice make me jump.

"So how are you today?" Mom's voice suddenly says startling me

"Mom!" I gasp putting a hand to my chest

"Oh I'm sorry honey, I thought you heard me come in" She apologizes

I sigh shaking my head "No it's my fault."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning it's been a month, I shouldn't still be this jumpy" I say frustrated

Mom puts the dish towel down and comes to me gently grasping my shoulders

"Kylie Jade, I don't ever want to hear you apologize for something that happened to you or the effects certain events have on you." She says sternly "Anyone in your position would be just like this, some would be worse. You're not one hundred percent and that's fine baby girl but you're getting better and I'm proud of you. You're not letting this beat you and for that I'll forever be grateful that your father and I were able to raise such a strong young woman."

I smile softly at her. "Thanks mom"

"Of course baby" She smiles and kisses my forehead "Now let's finish this dinner okay?"

I nod and we continue to prepare food.

I dry my hair with a towel as I walk into my dressing room then drape the towel over the back of my chair and sit down putting the protecting oils in my hair to keep it from breaking off in the heat.

"Oh Miss Marshall let me do that!" My stylist Kimmy exclaims

"Kimmy! I didn't know you would be here" I jump then gulp
