My father

chapter thirteen

RECAP: I laid there in my bed for hours, unable to sleep. Until I finally fell asleep.

*car door slams* "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU" I heard someone yell.

I quickly got up and ran to my window. I opened it slightly so I could hear.

Jesse's car was out front in our driveway, and my dad was standing in front of it.

"WHAT THE FUCK GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!" my dad yelled as he approached Jesse.

Jesse stood there, silent.

"HUH BITCH? ANSWER ME!" my dad said as he pushed Jesse against his car.

"TOUCHED? I DIDN'T DO SHIT TO YOUR DAUGHTER!" Jesse said as threw a punch but missed.

I closed my window and ran outside as fast as I could, to see them throwing punches.

I opened the door, "DAD!" I screamed.

He turned to look at me as Jesse threw another punch. "STELLA GET THE FUCK INSIDE!" he yelled as he pointed towards the door.

I didn't listen. I wasn't going to let this happen.

"JESSE GET OFF HIM!" I yelled.

shit! he's not listening.

"GUYS PLEASE, STOP!" I yelled again.

Jesse pushed my dad one last time, and then they both stopped to look at me.

a tear rolled down my cheek.

"CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET ALONG!" I yelled back.

"STELLA I TOLD YOU TO GO INSIDE!" my dad yelled again.

Jesse looked at my dad and started to walk towards me. I started to move back slowly.

"don't be afraid of me, Stella." he said with a smirk. There was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.

He hugged me as I tried to push him off.

I can't hug him back! I want to but my body won't let me.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" my dad yelled.

Jesse didn't listen.

he pulled away quickly and looked me in the eyes.

"You won't be pregnant under my watch. Keep your legs closed!" He said. He swung his arm back and punched me multiple times in my stomach. Once he was done, he kicked me one time in my stomach very hard.

"DAD!" I tried to scream, but I couldn't because of the pain. I quickly fell to the ground. Everything started spinning, and my vision was blurry.

He ran up to me, pulled Jesse off. My dad then helped me up as Jesse ran to his car. He drove off very fast.

The last thing I remember was my dad yelling me name. "STELLA!" he screamed.

*beep beep beep beep* I woke up, and my dad was hovering over me as I heard the heart monitor beeping.

I slowly opened my eyes. I had an IV in my hand, and I was in the hospital.

I held my stomach as pain shot through it. I let out a moan as my dad grabbed my hand tightly.

The doctor came in "She's awake!" he said.

‼️TW‼️THIS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT MISCARRIAGE, SO IF YOU NEED TO SKIP, FEEL FREE TO!‼️‼️

"Unfortunately, Stella" he said, and then cleared his voice. "you lost the baby."

I look over to my dad. He buried his head in his hands.

"It is very early in the pregnancy, which means we can't do any further treatment." he said.

my dad signed. "So no procedures?" he asked.

The doctor cleared his throat. "well, in most cases like this, the tissue will have to pass naturally. Since she's under 20 weeks pregnant, we can't do any procedures. There's not much tissue, we confirmed that on the ultra sound." he explained.

"We do need to contact the father though and let him know." the doctor said.

WHAT?!! No, no, no! I looked at my dad, with a worried look on my face.

"Sir, we can't share that information with you or him, for many reasons, including our privacy." my dad said.

The doctor looked at us confused.

"There wasn't incest, or any form of non-consensual sex?" He said.

"No!" I said. I looked at my dad.

"Yes, sir. She was raped, and for our privacy and safety reasons, we can't let him know she was pregnant." my dad explained.

"oh yes, but for legal reasons, we do need to let him know. if you're not willing to tell us, I'm sure there's some sort of information or a police report of this male. We'll just have to find out ourselves." he said.

"D-Derek Miller" I said.

I took slow deep breaths, trying to not think about what would happen if he found out.

The doctor gave me some pain medicine, and we were discharged from the hospital. Once we got back in the car, it was very late, we spent almost the whole day there.

My dad got in the car and he turned off the music.

I looked at him confused. "Look at me" he said.

I turned my whole body towards him.

"Yes?" I said.

"Stella, I have to work tomorrow. I don't have anywhere to take you. I don't want you going back to Jesses, obviously. Will you be fine by yourself ?" he asked.

I can't be scared of Derek forever. I wouldn't be living my life if I went everywhere worried about him and everything.

I nodded. "I'll be find, daddy." I said forcing a smile.

"Good." He said as he put the car in drive.

we finally made it home, as I went upstairs in my room to fall asleep.
