PastMay 2009Kissing Emma was the highlight of my stay at Britton.He'd kissed other girls, fooled around and experimented here and there, but kissing her was the most delicious feeling of all. It felt perfect, as if something had finally clicked."And you came with Grandpa?""I was on my way out with him to pick up some parts in another county to replenish the inventory," I summarized and watched her bite her lip worriedly."You're going to be disappointed...""I don't think so," I said to calm him down, "he said that if you got physical with someone it was in self-defense.”"Well...”His little eyes were like a pit of sadness, so I couldn't control my tongue."He also heard that you've been bad, crying... What do you need to be okay?" I asked, very interested.If there was anything that would help mitigate the pain he was feeling, I would look for ways to help him."I just want a hug," she asked with a very sad look.I gave it to her right away, I took her in my arms once I opened

PastJune 2009"Your father asked about you.”That wasn't the phrase I wanted to hear. Not after living in the anxiety of whether I had seen the video or not. My grandfather had taken it upon himself to update my mother on what had happened, the tests I was sent to take, and my uncle's reaction. Her face of disappointment was frightening, it was as if she had taken his side at once, which was far more painful than I anticipated. It wasn't a good thing at all. I remember what he said to my grandfather was:"We must prevent Abel from finding out about this, I'll try to convince him that it's better for everyone for Emma to sleep at your house since she's going to work with you," he explained out of nowhere, "though I doubt he'll accept so easily because it's you. Also sending it to my sister's house may work, but it would be very cumbersome...”"The best thing would be to tell Abel what's going on, to tell him the whole situation so he knows what's going on, so he understands his daught

PastJune 2009He had a girlfriend.I was happy and to make her happy I just asked the only thing I could think of."Do you want to eat hamburgers?"She laughed."Of course, in the best place in Aberdeen, but first we leave things at that.That's what we did, I took her to her grandfather's house, I helped her get everything down. I heard her sing the same Taylor Swift song she had sung earlier and smiled. It was good to see that, despite the bad, he didn't get carried away by it, he was looking for reasons to rejoice.It was a light that I wanted to illuminate my darkness.Soon after, she came down changed, much more comfortable and with a mischievous smile that made me furrow my eyebrows. He was up to something, but he didn't know exactly what."Do you have shorts that are comfortable for you to wear in the water?""Actually... No.”"I can get you something from David that's left around," he offered, and I didn't hide my puzzled expression."Is it clean? It's not for nothing, but th

PastJuly 2009The happiest weeks of my life flew by.I was happy despite the strict schedule we had in the workshop, even though Grandpa watched TV while Luc explained math to me at the other end of the room. He was the most radiant person in the world.Of course, not everything was perfect, the days I stayed at the family home were heartbreaking. I had suspicions that my father was beating my mother and that he wouldn't stop him, he had started pinching me, pulling my hair or pushing me."Just don't make him angry," my mother said when I complained about the pinches that were becoming more and more aggressive."It's not right what Mom is doing.”"Avoid it.”I took him at his word, in the last week I locked myself in my room, where I did the homework that Luc gave me to practice while remembering the kisses stolen in the workshop. He pined for the boy who wouldn't open up.I couldn't push him, like that day when he saw me with a sad smile and asked me about Grandpa, so I leaned back

PastJuly 2009I had to calm my urge to beat Callum to death.The was on fire, jealous that Emma had a boyfriend, but he was even more on fire that he had been duped by Chloe. So, I shook my thoughts. I went to get the camping table Emma told me about and when I was done, Bruce's phone rang and beckoned me to go with him to his studio.It must have been Grandpa's news.We hadn't heard from him in over a month, which was bad."Yes, you talk to him, well... No, of course, I'll be there," Bruce said before hanging up to see me. “Your grandfather left me a letter in Minneapolis, so I have to wait for the parts replenishment trip to go get it.”"Can't we go together first?""No, it's very dangerous and I can't get out of the routine, you know that.”"Fine, but if you ever know anything sooner, just tell me," I begged and he nodded."Bring the trays, I'm going to get the things I need to replace."I nodded and walked out, surprised that Chloe was in the hallway with her face expressionless,

PastFrom July to August 2009My life had become hell on earth.I had no other way to describe it.After my father picked me up from the workshop, he slapped me."Since when have you sold yourself like any other?" He asked in a tone of voice that left no doubt of his level of fury."I've never sold myself like that, you have to believe me, Dad," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. “I'm a virgin, I've never been with anyone... I was drugged at that party and I don't remember anything, we can go to the doctor to check it out.”He looked at me contemptuously."I hope so, or there won't be any trace of you that will be free of belt marks," he threatened, and I died a thousand deaths.He went straight to the medical center, asked for a gynecology consultation, and the level of humiliation they put me through felt brutal."The membrane is completely formed," she explained, and I burst into tears. “The rectum is normal, with no lesions or openings that indicate the onset of intimate activit

Part III. Broken SoulPastAugust 2009I had had the best day of my life.I was happy to have Emma in my life, but I never thought it would all go to hell so quickly. Sometime after seven o'clock in the morning, the phone I had bought rang and I cursed under my breath at the interruption.That made Emma sits up suddenly, and I had no choice but to answer the call."All right, Bruce?" I asked right away."No, your elder brother came to the village and asked for you, I don't know how, but he found the workshop and asked for an emergency service. It was a trap to get to know me and ask me if I knew anything about you," he replied, and my world came crashing down. “I told him that I didn't know anything about you, but he insisted that I had to tell you something important about your brothers, besides giving you essential news. The boy is not a fool. He said it would happen again in a few days.”"What? No, fuck what he wants!” I blurted out annoyed, irritated that he was another damn manip

From the call until that moment, I had no sign of my boyfriend, so when he knocked on the door in desperation while I was in a bathrobe, with a towel in my hair and an avocado mask, I was shocked."What's the matter, love? Why are you like this?” I asked, shocked to see him distressed."I came on foot," he said as if that explained everything, which brought more doubts to my mind."What? But that's miles of distance, was the truck damaged again?”He passed by and threw himself on the couch, then saw
