It was now September four months had passed and one more till I get to hug my husband again.
“Brice come here!” I heard McKenna and Misty yell
I ran down to the living room.
“What?” I asked
“Come look at Blaze’s eyes.” McKenna said
I walked over and took Blaze and looked into her eyes.
“They changed into the green just like Zack’s.” I said
“I know.” McKenna smiled
“I don’t know why this is so exciting but it is.” Misty said
I laughed.
“I’m gonna go take a walk.” I said
“Okay, we'll watch the chillin.” Misty said
I nodded grabbing my coat and I walked out the front door, it was sadly getting dark and I knew I couldn’t stay out long because Jimmy would freak out again. I walked and ended up in a park, I laid in the grass and looked up at the stars and then I felt weight on my stomach.
“What the-.” I said getting cut off my someone placing their hand over my mouth. “Shut up Brice, don’t say a word.” Someone said
How did they know my name? His voice sounded awfully familiar. I looked around and saw three guys two I didn’t know and the other one I didn’t want to see. “What are you going to do to me?” I asked
“Well if you corporate with me, I won’t beat you.” The one I knew said
“You’re not going to do anything you mother—“ I said again getting cut off.
This time it was by a gag. I felt him undo my pants and pull them down to my ankles “Condom.” He demanded.
I heard him snap it on himself and I started kicking around, this was not going to happen. He swiftly punched me in the face and I backed out for about thirty seconds but that was enough time for him to start shoving himself in and out of me. I cried and tried to scream. He continued to rape me until he came into the condom. He had one of the guys put it in a sandwich bag.
“We’ll throw it away at home.” He said
I reached down to pull my pants up when he grabbed my face.
“You tell anyone and I’ll kill that son of yours. The only precious thing you have you your dearly departed Rev.” He said
I nodded and he let go and started kicking me in the ribcage, one of his guys punched me right in the left eye. I was so close to blacking out but I pulled my pants up and pulled the gag off. I let the tears flow over. Why did I have to take a walk tonight? I limped back home and collapsed on my living room floor. “Mommy!” Jimmy yelled running towards me
“Don’t touch her Jimmy. Go to your room.” McKenna said
Misty ran over and pulled me completely into the door and shut it.
“What happened Brice?” McKenna said putting my head in her lap.
Misty was on the phone
“I can’t say.” I said
“Well someone beat the fuck out of you. Did you just get raped?” She asked
I just nodded.
“Cassandra is on her way.” Misty said
“Who raped you?” McKenna asked
I shook my head, I didn’t want him to hurt my baby boy. I few minutes past and then Cassandra busted through the door without Alice.
“Where Alice?” Misty asked
“Papa Gates is watching her.” She said
“Okay.” McKenna said
Cassandra sat on the couch where McKenna had been sitting when she moved us from the floor. I laid my head in Cassandra’s lap and she stroked my dirty hair. “What happened?” She asked
I shook my head
“Someone beat her and raped her but she won’t give the name up.” McKenna said
“Brice tell me right now.” Cassandra said
“No, he threatened my baby boy.” I cried
“Junior?” Cassandra asked
“Yes.” I cried
“Come on. Let’s get you showered and in bed.” She said
She helped me up the stairs and into the shower and helped me shower. Then she put me to bed.
“I think I know who this was but you’re going to have to tell me.” She said
“I can’t do that to Jimmy; I can’t put him in danger.” I said
She nodded and kissed my cheek. I soon fell into a dreadful sleep.
I woke up and there was a commotion downstairs but I walked into the bathroom to take a good look in the mirror. I actually didn’t look as bad as I felt, I had a little bruising under my left eye on my cheek bone and a bruise on my jaw line and a little split in my lip. I lifted up my shirt and that’s where the grossness was. My ribs were bruised and my stomach was cut up, the cuts look infected. Why did he choose me to do this too? What was this wrap around my upper ribs for; please tell me they weren’t broken. I sighed and walked out to where the stairs started.
“Let me see her.” Some dude demanded
“No she needs sleep.” I heard Cassandra say
I walked down the stairs but not enough whoever was in the living room could see me but I could see them. The guys were there, here in my house a month before they should be. The stair creaked and Cassandra was at my side.
“Baby.” I said
Zacky was instantly at my side, he sat down on the couch and I sat in his lap.
“Can I look? Cassandra told me.” He said
I nodded and he lifted up my shirt. All the guys sucked in a breath. Zacky ran his thumb lightly over the bruised on my face after he let my shirt down.
“Just kiss me.” I whispered.
He connected our lips for a few short seconds
“Now what happened? Brian knows but he won’t tell me. I think everyone but me knows. They wanted me to hear it from you.” He said
“Where’s Jimmy?” I asked
“He’s asleep. Don’t worry he’s safe.” McKenna said
I nodded and looked into Zacky’s eyes trying to find a way to avoid telling him what happened.
“Blaze’s eyes changed color; they look just like yours now. Junior likes to splash the rubber ducky in the bathtub.” I said numbly.
“Stop avoiding it and just tell me.” Zacky said
He had tears threatening to spill over, he blinked and a few tears found their way down his cheeks. I wiped them away with my thumbs, the rape was torturing him and he didn’t even know what happened.
“Why are you crying?” I asked
“Do you think I like seeing my wife like this?” He asked
I shook my head.
“I got beaten and raped last night.” I said
His eyes grew wide and angry, just like Brian’s looked.
“By who?” He asked
I shook my head.
“Whoever did it threatened her.” Cassandra said
“What did he threaten you with baby?” Zacky asked
“He told me if I told he’d kill Jimmy.” I said now crying
“Brice, we’re here no one is going to touch that boy. Or you now just tell us who did this.” Brian said
“Beau Steele.” I mumbled
“Who?” McKenna said
“Beau.” I said loud enough for them all to hear me.
