ACAPELLA'S POV CONTINUES.
The bright shining light brought me awake. I opened my eyes slowly and raised my hand to prevent the light from blinding my eyes then I realized I was naked and wasn't also in my room.
" Where am I ?" I muttered and tried getting up a little from the bed to scan my environment but yelped instantly due to the throbbing pain I felt in my thighs.
Then instantly everything that happened last night came crashing back and flooded my brain. I instantly turned to the side of the bed but saw no one except a note.
I summoned courage and picked it up with trembling hands. I opened it slowly and broke down into tears at what I saw.
" Thanks for last night, can't remember the last night I popped someone's cherry, especially a soon-to-be Nun".
I can't remember how long I stayed on the bed crying but it must have taken hours for I heard the 9 pm bell ring meaning my confirmation was in an hour.
I immediately jumped out of his bed and got dressed before dashing off to church.
At the entrance, I was stopped by a smirking Cruella.
" Here comes the nun" She mocked but I just ignored her and was walking past her when she held me back by my hand.
" I don't have time for this Cruella," I said angrily yanking her hand off mine. She gave a stunned expression for I had never done that to her before but soon it was replaced by a glare.
" Where are you coming from?" My heart skipped a bit at her question but I managed to control my expression and replied.
" None of your business" I attempted to walk past her again but froze at her next words.
" Did Austin give you a nice time?" She asked sarcastically.
' what did she mean by that?' I wondered. Then it hit me and I hastily turned to face her. She had a victorious smile on her face at my expression.
' Lord please no, do not let it be what I am thinking' I pleaded in mind.
" Cat got your tongue" She mocked. I was about to reply to her when I heard Mum's cheerful voice.
" Acapella, there you are," She said and I turned slowly to see her mum with a smile plastered on her face, Dad too was behind her and they were all giving the ' I am proud of you' look.
' Would they still be after I told them what had happened last night?' I wondered and scoffed at my naivety.
" It will soon be time," Mum said holding my two hands in hers. I struggled to hold back my tears at such a gesture.
' How long I had wished for this, their love. I finally got it and now it was about to be taken away ' I thought.
" Let's go get you dressed," Dad said and Mum nodded. They ignored Cruella's presence and when Mum saw I was not moving, she attempted to push me toward the dressing room.
“Mum, Dad” I called out slowly with fear. “I have something to say,” I told them while releasing my arm from my mum as they both looked at me confused.
“What is the problem Acapella? “Dad asked. “Are you nervous about your dedication? If it’s about that you don’t need to worry because we would be right there beside you.” He said while mum nodded with a smile.
“It’s not that,” I said.
“Then what is it? There is not much time left.” Mum reminded me impatiently and I gulped.
“I am no longer pure.” I broke the bombshell.
At first, they did not get me, they both looked confused and I think suddenly it hit them for they both screamed while Mum rushed to me and held my shoulders.
“Acapella, this is not the time for jokes,” Mum said praying inside her for me to be telling a lie, even though I wish I was, but too bad it was the truth, I was not telling a lie.
“I don’t think she is.” My dad said noticing my sad look and looking at me in disbelief.
My mum moved back from me and then suddenly she rushed towards me and gave me a resounding slap even Cruella was shocked by her actions.
I put my palm on my cheek and looked at her stunned, with tears rolling down my cheeks.
“You whore!” She screamed as she struggled for Dad to free her so she could do more than just slap me. My cheek stung badly.
“Why do you always bring disgrace to this family, why are you born with such bad luck?” She asked fuming and still struggling to release herself from dad’s hold.
“It’s okay honey” Dad pleaded.
“Yes Mum, Dad is right,” Cruella said as she came closer to where we were standing.
“Don’t waste your energy on her, she is not worth it.” She added.
Suddenly my dad turned to look at me with a disappointing gaze and that stung so badly because I felt like a failure.
God, what am I saying? I am already a failure. I have been one from birth, I mean nothing ever worked out or went as I wished.
“Acapella” Dad called with a disappointed tone. “I am so disappointed in you.” He said as both Mum and Cruella threw me looking filled with disgust.
“As your punishment for disgracing us, you will go out there in front of the whole congregation and priest and tell them of what you have done and then ask for forgiveness.”He said and I gasped.
“We will not let you soil our family name any longer!” He added and I nodded to his words.
You guys might be wondering about why I did not tell them about the rape or who did it but no one will believe me.
Austin's father was the mayor of this town and besides even if it was true, what was going to be my excuse for going alone to his house at night and not informing anyone about it except I was looking for something?
Besides they did not even bother asking how I lost it, they just assumed I did it willingly which means they would not believe me even if I told them the truth so why should I bother wasting my time arguing about it?
“I wish you were exchanged at birth, if that had happened, we would not be experiencing such disappointments and disgrace right now.” Mum spat with a sneer in her eyes as she finally wiggled out of Dad’s embrace and left the room with Dad following her leaving just Cruella in the room with me.
ACAPELLA'S POV. And as I expected Cruella busted into laughter the moment Mum and Dad left. “I see Austin did a very good job.” She said. “How is he in bed?” She asked with a dangerous smile on her face. I ignored her and continued weeping silently. “Aww, did mum and dad's words hurt you?” She mocked. “Sorry, I am sure they did not mean it, especially the part where you should have been exchanged with another baby at birth.” She mocked again and started laughing while more tears just rolled down my cheeks. “Why did you do this to me?” I asked her as I faced her completely. “I never did anything to you so why can’t you just leave me be!” I yelled at her startling her for I had never raised my voice at her before, I mean I never had the guts to but this time, she had gone overboard. All she did was push me away. “Don’t you get it?.” She asked, hatred laced in her voice. “I hate your mere sight" She explained and rolled her eyes at me before continuing. "Jus
ACAPELLA'S POV CONTINUES. After Austin left, the doctor turned to me. “Hope everything is alright?” He asked staring at me. “Yes, it is,” I replied. “By the way, thank you,” I told him before turning again to face the wall. “You are welcome.” He replied and then he left the room closing the door behind him silently. I closed my eyes and silently hoped for death to come and take me away but instead, I fell asleep. Suddenly I felt a hand shaking me roughly wanting me to wake up and when I opened my eyes, I saw mum and dad. Just mum and dad. Cruella was not with them and that was relieving because I did not want any more mockery for my already shattered life. “So you think after putting our family to shame and turning us into a laughing stock, you can just take the easy way out and leave us to deal with all your mess?” Mum asked with a glare but I chose not to reply and just looked at her instead. “Well you are wrong if you think so because you are not
ACAPELLA'S POV CONTINUES. “I did not go to get laid!” I screamed. “I got raped by someone who I blindly trusted!” I yelled. “What” My dad said. “Who is the bastard?” My dad asked furiously. “Oh please David don’t tell me you believe her.” My mum said. “I am sure she is lying just to get some sympathy from us,” she added hurting me. How could my Mum say such about me, I mean have I ever behaved like an attention seeker or do I look like one? Who would lie about getting raped just to get some sympathy? I was so disappointed at Mum for not truly knowing her daughter and for thinking I was lying when I was not. “I am not,” I said. “Yes, you are!” Mum insisted raising her voice at me. “Let’s hear her out Claire.” My dad commanded making her keep shut. “What happened?” My dad asked and I narrated everything to them starting from how Austin told everyone how much he loves me, how he asked me out and I said no, how he asked me to think about it and come and give him my a
I was still weeping badly into my pillow when the nice doctor walked in. "Hey" he greeted but I was in no mood for a greeting so I just ignored him and continued to weep silently. "Are you seriously going to ignore me and continue crying?" He asked but I still did not respond. He couldn't understand nor know how I was feeling right now for he was not in my shoes. He wasn't abandoned by his whole family, he wasn't betrayed by someone he thought was a friend. "Seriously?" he asked again and I decided to reply by turning to him in complete fury. "If you know you are going to keep pestering me, please leave me alone and make use of the door," I said before turning back to continue soaking my already wet pillow in tears. "Wow!"He exclaimed, disbelief obvious in his tone. "You kind of feisty," He commented but I ignored him. I had better things to worry about than a sarcastic compliment. ' How was I going to survive? I had no idea' I thought bitterly. "I un
" Are you dumb?"He asked looking at me in total disbelief. "You want to go and apologize for something you didn't do? he yelled. "Well yes. If an apology is all it takes for me to get accepted back into my family, then yes. I will go and apologize. Life hasn't been fair to me anyway" I replied while looking down at the white bedspread over me. "It isn't life which hasn't been fair to me, it's your stupidity and nativity that brought you to this situation you are" he explained making me turn to arch an eyebrow at him. "How can you be so dumb and stupid to think they would accept you back after brutally abandoning you and leaving you to your fate here?" he asked with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "They are my family, they didn't mean what they said here. I am very sure of that" I argued. "How many times will I tell you this person isn't your family anymore?" he asked. "Families don't abandon one another, they support no matter the situation you ar
I reared back in shock at the look on her face and whispered trembling." Mum!" I called out." Don't you dare?" She yelled. " How could you hurt your elder sister? She has done nothing towards you" She said and I gasped." No mum, I di......" I tried explaining but she shut me up. " Will you just shut up?" She asked not willing to listen to my explanation. I turned to look at Cruella who was still on the floor pretending to wince in pain while lying on the floor. threw me a smirk when our eyes met which I returned with a glare." You still have the guts to glare at her in my presence," My mum said with a gasp." I raised you badly, didn't I?" She asked rhetorically. " Mum" I called sadly but she ignored me tending to Cruella instead. " Mummy, please do not be harsh on her. She does not know what she is doing and I am sure she did not mean to" Cruella explained pretending to try and protect me but pushing me deeper into trouble instead.As I expected, Mum frowne
I stood there dazed, my clothes pooled at my feet. I gave a sad little smile as I let it sink into me what type of people I had as a family and how right the nice doctor was the day before.' I guess I should have listened to him and not come' I thought sadly. I stood there for several hours until it started drizzling and not because I was expecting or wishing for the door to open and my mum to welcome me into her open arms or maybe deep down, I do wish that but the reality was, I wanted this betrayal and abandoning to sink in. ' It was time I moved on and forgot them like they have now' I thought and somehow wished the door would fly open and Mum or Cruella would at least tell me to get in since it was beginning to rain but who was I kidding?They did not care. I made my way out of the estate in the rain while also trying not to break down into tears again. I was starting to annoy myself. ' Why do I cry at every little thing?' I wondered. " I guess that is wh
ACAPELLA'S POV. " What is going on?" I wondered in absolute shock. This was not the Doctor Robert I know. This man looks older and his face has wrinkles and he has half bald hair with the sides covered in grey hairs. ' Maybe the nurse made a mistake and went to get you another Doctor Robert?' My subconscious suggested and I nodded agreeing to her words. ' Maybe!' " Excuse me young lady" The old man called and I raised my head to look at him. " Yes?" I answered. " Is everything alright?" He asked and I nodded. " Of course, why do you ask?" I threw back a question at him. " Well, I read your file before coming here since I am actually in charge of you but I had an accident. A minor one actually and another doctor was assigned to you" He began explaining and I started to feel somehow confused like something was not right. " He was originally the doctor in charge of me?" I wondered. " Then who was the doctor taking care of me before his arrival?" I wondered. " Oh, D
