We fell asleep at some point during the night because I woke up with two arms wrapped around my waist holding on for dear life this morning. Looking over at the clock I realized it was only 7am. God I can’t believe I’m up this early. I rolled back over and sighed. I cannot believe I told her all that stuff that happened to me. I really can’t believe that she’d believed me. The last person I told was my mother. It was right after the first time it happened. I remember being slapped across the face. She then called my a ungrateful lying bitch. I just stared at her like I was a deer caught in headlights.

She told him what I told her he did to me. I don’t really remember all that was said, but I think it was along the lines of she is just scared I’m going to replace her father or something. I looked back over to Ash. She is still asleep. I brushed some hair out of her face "what would I do without you sweetheart?" I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and went back to my thoughts.

I remember that Paula actually made me apologize to him for lying. I refused until he suggested that we take a drive alone to talk about it. I changed my mine real quick. I didn’t want to be anywhere near him. Luckily that was enough, and she didn’t force me to go with him that day. I hate thinking about the past. I was interrupted by Ashley waking up.

"Hey babe. How long have you been up?" She asked while pulling me into her. I loved the warmth I felt when I was near her.

"For a little while. I was just thinking about the past." She had sympathetic look on her face after I said that.

"What do you want to do about it? Press charges or anything?"

"Nothing because it would be his word against mine. I don’t think I could handle it if they didn’t believe me too." She looked upset "besides I don’t want to be known as the girl that was raped my her stepfather."
