SINS OF THE PAST - Chapter One
Chapter One
She could feel his breath on her neck… taste the disgusting bitterness of the blood that she choked on when he held her down. She couldn't see him but she could feel the violence as he tore away the barriers of clothing…She remembered screaming…remembered the feel of his hands around her neck as he stuffed something into her mouth to muffle her cries…and in the next moment, she could smell the unmistakable aroma of him pumping into her so hard that she went numb from pain…she remembered the feeling of him laughing at her when he forced himself inside her…making her bleed both physically and mentally… taking his revenge in the worst possible way…and then leaving her broken and shattered as he escaped into the night…her feeling of security forever taken from her…nothing in her life ever hurt that bad.
She shot up from her bed, tears and sweat falling from her cheeks…Her husband, wrapping his arms around her as she fell into him.
"Another nightmare," Bo asked his shaking wife?
"I…I don't understand why I'm having nightmares again…after so many years. I thought I had finally put it behind me."
"Maybe it's because our daughters are nearing the age when we have to worry about that…especially since we had that paternity scare when you were first pregnant with them."
"I don't know what I would have done if that rape had gotten me pregnant…we got lucky Bo…we got really lucky…I'm not sure I could have survived all that if they hadn't been yours…"
He pressed a kiss to her forehead as he pulled her tighter into his arms. "You want to talk about it baby? You know I always wonder what would have happened if I had gotten there sooner…"
"It's…It's not your fault Bo…I sent you away…I sent you away because I was worried that he would kill you…I thought he was going to kill me…and after all these years, I can still see it so clearly…it's like it happened yesterday. What are we going to do when we have to tell Molly and Madison? Molly is dating the son of the man that raped me so many years ago."
"And you still worry about that don't you?"
"How can I not Bo…there's so much bad blood between us…I just don't want the kids to get caught in the crossfire's…and I don't want them to look at me different…like I'm a victim…because I wasn't strong enough to fight him off."
"We'll make it work Red…and I don't think our daughters would ever think of you as a victim…nobody ever could sweetheart…you went through hell and it took you a while to find your way back but you did and in my book that makes you a survivor. You're the strongest person I know Red…Don't you ever forget that."
"I don't feel so strong right now Bo. I feel so fragile. What if I'm breaking again? I don't want to go back there?"
"You won't. I won't ever let you fall. Whatever you're feeling…I'm feeling it too…that's how we got through it remember? I'm here for you baby…whatever you need…all you have to do is ask?"
She smiled as she pressed her lips to his. "Can you distract me? I don't want to think about something that happened years ago. I would much rather focus on my husband."
"I like that idea. Anything in particular you had in mind counselor?"
"Don't I always?"
He laughed as she slipped her hands under his pajama top and lifted it over his head. Their lips came together passionately as they continued to help each other out of their pajama's…Their cries of pleasure echoed throughout the room as they crashed into each other over and over again as they got wrapped up in each other and tangled sheets as they made love.

Marty walked down the stairs of the penthouse to find her husband staring out the window. It was in these moments that she knew he was thinking about his past. In some ways it was her past too. Their lives had intersected when he had raped her…but it hadn't stopped there. Todd had gone down a dangerous path and she hadn't been the only woman he raped. She had a feeling he was thinking about that other woman right about now…he hated her just as much as she hated him but she knew that he regretted what he had done to her, even if he wouldn't say it out loud.
"Too late…I already know you're thinking about her. Why don't you stop pretending that you don't regret that part of your life?"
"What good will it do…It's over…?"
"Not completely Todd…and not just because our son is dating her daughter either…"
"Where is Jonathon anyways? Shouldn't he be home by now?"
"Stop changing the subject Todd. I want to know what's on your mind. "
"If I told you, you were right could we just drop it?"
"No Todd…It won't ever be over until you make amends. I mean you never even told her you were sorry. I don't expect you to like her but she is my friend and that's not going to change. If you want to be free of these demons, you're going to have to own up to what you did to her. It's not enough to just own up to what you did to me."
"And what happens when our son finds out that I'm not just the man who raped his mother but I'm also the man who raped his girlfriend's mother?"
"And that's why you didn't want him to date her isn't it? I told you before Todd…You can't run from your past. Sooner or later it will catch up to you. Isn't it better that he hear it from you?"
"It's better that he not hear it at all."
"It doesn't work that way Todd. If you want your son to be better then you then you need to teach him to own up to his mistakes. What is he going to think if he finds out that you withheld such vital information from him? Think about that sweetheart. I'm going up to bed. "
She kissed him softly on the lips and descended the stairs. Todd wanted to follow her but she was right about one thing. He was thinking about the day that he raped Nora…he wasn't sure why nightmares of that day were creeping up but he was pretty sure it couldn't be a good thing. He prayed that history didn't repeat itself with their children.

Madison Megan Buchanan sat at the diner after the school dance. She was supposed to meet her sister here but she was late. She sighed as she ordered a cup of hot chocolate and dialed her cell phone. "Molly its Maddie. I don't know if we got our wires crossed but you were supposed to meet me at the diner so we could go home together. If you and Jonathon decided to go to a hotel or something just call me so I can cover for you. If you don't get back to me soon, I'm going to have to call mom and dad and I know you don't want that. I'm really worried Mol. Call me back?"
She hung up the phone as she stared blankly into her cup of hot chocolate. What on earth could be keeping her twin sister? She never used to pay any attention to that twin connection but now she was beginning to wonder if there was some truth to it. She had this horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Please be okay Molly," she whispered to herself as her agitation grew. She wondered if she could call her parents.
XOXOXO
Jonathon had been trying to get in contact with his girlfriend for hours now. They had gotten into a stupid fight about something he didn't even remember anymore and like a fool he had stormed off. Thinking better of it, he had returned to the party to apologize but Molly hadn't been there. He had called her cell phone a dozen times but it had always gone to voice mail. He didn't understand that because Molly never turned her cell phone off. She knew that her parent's would kill her if they couldn't get in touch with her. What in the world was going on with her? He dialed her cell phone one more time. It almost sounded like it was coming from the bushes and that was when he heard the piercing cries of a woman. Whatever his issues were, he had never been able to leave someone alone in agony. He hung up the phone without leaving a message and began to follow the sound, trying to sound soothing as he called for whoever had been hurt.
And then he saw her…His Molly…crawling out of the bushes with a torn dress and blood running down her thighs. When he looked at her, her eyes looked back at him... glassy, blank and shattered.
"Molly…Molly, baby…what happened?"
She could barely move as she attempted to stand up and when he tried to reach out to her she had jerked away from him as if he were trying to kill her. "No, Don't…don't touch me…don't you ever touch me again."
"I'm not going to hurt you baby…It's me…Its Jonathon."
She searched his eyes then, as if she were trying to decipher if he was telling the truth. Tears fell from her face when she finally saw him.
"Jonathon…Jonathon is that you? I thought you were leaving me…"
"I came back baby…I came back to apologize….I'm so sorry. I never should have said the things that I said to you. What happened to you? Tell me who hurt you?"
"It doesn't matter. I just need…I need to get to my sister…If she calls my parents…"
"That might not be such a bad thing right now…you need medical attention Molly. I can either take you to the hospital or I can take you to your parent's…Your choice."
"All right…all right I'll go…if you…will you stay with me Jonathon…Will you hold my hand? I don't think I could stand to be touched that way…not after what happened…"
"I'll stay with you as long as you will allow me to…I love you Molly. I love you so much."
"I love you too Jonathon. I'm sorry we fought. I didn't mean anything I said."
"Neither did I baby…neither did I. Are you ready to go now?"
"Can we pick up my sister first…I promise I won't run. I don't want her to worry…I have like 20 messages from her on my phone…"
"All right…We'll stop by the diner first...Can you walk?"
"I…I think so…"
She tried to stand but nearly fell over and Jonathon draped his arm around her shoulder, helping her walk to the car. He wondered if this was what his mother looked like after his father raped her. He didn't even want to think of that possibility but he couldn't seem to help himself. Molly was tensing at his touch. He helped her into the car and strapped her into the seatbelt. He looked over at the woman he loved as she looked at him…that broken smile on her face…eyes shattered…shivering…and he suddenly knew that if he ever found out who had stolen Molly's innocence in such a violent way, he would kill them with his bare hands…He didn't care about the consequences to himself…the only thing he could think about was Molly…He would do anything to protect his Molly…nobody would hurt her ever again…he would see to it.
Xxxooo
He held her hands so tight as the shutters continued to bang. "You ruined my life and now you're going to pay for it," he shouted as he pushed his rage into her. She screamed, begged and pleaded for him to stop, but the more she pleaded the more they laughed. The lightning distorted their faces in the fish bowl as they watched him rape her. She tried to escape to happier days in her childhood, but the consistent thunder always seemed to bring her back to the moment that she needed to block out most. "Why don't you take a turn Zach? The town slut will give anyone a ride," he stated as he sat in the chair. "Check this out Todd," Zach stated as he stuffed a sweatband in her mouth. "Nobody can hear you scream for help now," Zach stated as he lowered himself on top of her. He pushed into her raw and ravaged vagina over and over again. She was in so much pain but he didn't care...he continued to push into her until she could feel his semen leeking into her. "Thanks for the fuck," he stated as he spit in her face.
Marty sat up in bed and wiped the tears from her eyes. She looked around and felt grateful that Todd was still downstairs. He was struggling with enough demons from his past and she didn't want him to know that she was having nightmares again.
She went over to her purse and pulled out the letter that she had received in the mail a couple of days ago. It was from the Statesville Correction and Rehabilitation Committee. They had released Zach Rosen and they had notified her because she was his former victim.
She hated keeping things from Todd, but he had been struggling with his self hatred and inner demons ever since their son had started dating Molly. The last thing that he needed was to know that Zach was out of prison and that she was having nightmares of the Spring Fling again.
Marty burned the letter and hopped in the shower. She needed to feel clean after her nightmare. She didn't want to think about Zach, but she couldn't help but wonder where he was and if he had changed from the arrogant bastard who had raped her all those years ago.
XOXOXO
Jonathan helped Molly walk into the Emergency Room. She was shivering and her eyes were glazed over like she was still in shock.
"What happened?" Doctor Kyle Lewis asked as he saw Jonathan and Molly.
"I...I was...I was raped," Molly stated as she burst into tears.
"I'm sorry. I'm going to need to touch you in order to examine you and make sure that you're not hurt. Is that okay?" Kyle asked as he escorted them into a private room.
"Can Jonathan stay with me?" Molly asked.
"Of course. I'll need you to change into this," Kyle stated as he handed Molly the hospital gown. "I'll be back in a few minutes." Kyle stated as he stepped out into the hall.
Kyle pulled out his cell phone and called Bo. "Hey Bo, it's Kyle Lewis. You need to get down to the hospital, Molly's been attacked tonight." Kyle explained.
"Oh god...Nora and I will be right there. Thanks for calling Kyle," Bo stated as he hung up.
XOXOXO
"What's wrong?" Nora asked as Bo hung up his phone.
"That was Kyle...Molly's in the hospital."
"What happened? Was there an accident?" Nora asked as she threw on her clothes.
"Kyle said that she was attacked."
"Let's go Bo, I need to see my baby," Nora stated as she grabbed his hand and headed out the door.
XOXOXO
Todd couldn't stop thinking about Nora. Maybe Marty was right...maybe he needed to apologize to her so that the nightmares would stop.
He pulled out his phone and began to dial Nora's phone number. It rang a couple of times and then went to voicemail. Todd hung up the phone, took a drink of his Whiskey and stared out the window as he contemplated whether he should track Nora down so that he could apologize to her. He knew it was long overdue, but he didn't know what to say. Would she even want to hear it after all these years?
XOXOXO
Zach walked into his apartment and removed his blood stained clothes. He threw them into a bag and shoved it under his bed for later.
He walked into his bedroom and paused when he saw a picture of her. "Sweet, innocent Molly...you tasted like heaven tonight. It's been so long since I fucked anybody and the fact that you were a virgin made it that much sweeter," he said as he pulled out a red marker and etched an X into the picture. "I hope that your sister Madison is just as sweet when I take her. I'm going to make Todd, Marty, and Nora all pay for ruining my life even if I have to use their children to exact my revenge," Zach stated as he grabbed Madison's picture off of his wall.
He focused on Madison as he stroked his penis over and over again until he cummed. "I'll be coming for you soon, sweet Madie," Zach stated as he kissed the picture.
XOXOXO
Jonathon stayed by Molly's side while the medical staff examined her. She squeezed his hand when the pain became intense. "I just want to go home," she quietly sobbed.
"You'll need to stay in the hospital overnight so we can run some tests," Kyle told her gently after he had finished with the exam. He had collected all the specimens for the rape kit and had them sent to the lab. There had been semen found in Molly's body which could be tested for DNA. Luckily the poor girl would heal physically, but mentally, she was in great need of T.L.C.
"I've called your parents, and I am going to get you a room now," Kyle said to Molly.
"You called my parents?" Molly cried out as she started to panic. She hadn't wanted her mother to know. She knew her mother went through hell with her own rape, and she wanted to spare her anymore pain.
"Yes, it's standard to call the parents when a patient is in the E.R. and under the age of 18. Besides, hun, your father works for the police force," Kyle explained as he tried to soothe Molly.
"It's okay, Molly. I will explain everything to your parents when they get here. You did nothing wrong... so you don't have to be afraid," Jonathon said as he raised her hand to his lips and gently kissed it.
Dr. Lewis left so he could get Molly set up in a room. Jonathon and Molly had a few minutes alone. "Jonathon, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have been walking all alone, giving that creepy guy a chance to grab me. I wanted to save my virginity for you. We were waiting till we were a little older before we made love..." Molly spoke as tears fell from her eyes.
Tenderly, Jonathon brushed all Molly's tears away. "Don't say that. It wasn't your fault. You did nothing wrong..." he soothed her.
"I love you... and I'll always love you... NO MATTER WHAT," he swore to her.
A few minutes later, the medical staff had Molly's room ready. She was transported there and placed in a bed as a nurse from the lab came in to draw blood for testing. "Why are you taking the vials of blood for?" Molly asked nervously.
"We are testing you for sexually transmitted diseases, considering you were raped," the nurse stated.
Molly looked at Jonathon in horror. She had never thought of that. She felt sick and feared she was going to throw up.
"Ohhh my God!" she cried out. "What if I get pregnant from that creep?!"
"Is there something you can give her? The Morning-After pill or something?" Jonathon questioned the nurse.
XOXOXO
Meanwhile, Bo and Nora had just arrived at the hospital. "Where is she? Where's my little girl?" Nora asked the nurse at the front desk after giving them her name.
"She's on the sixth floor, room 642," responded the nurse as she looked over the medical charts.
"Let's hurry, Bo. Molly needs us!" Nora cried out as she rushed toward the elevator. She knew that her daughter had been attacked, but nothing would prepare her for what Molly had actually been through. No mother ever wanted to learn that their teenage daughter had been raped.
Bo and Nora arrived at Molly's hospital room and peeked inside. They saw a nurse talking to Molly and Jonathon. Molly looked so pale and tiny as she lay in the hospital bed. Nora saw a purple bruise on her daughter's face. "Ohhh my God, Bo. What if she was raped?!" Nora suddenly exclaimed.
"Calm down, honey. We'll go in and see Molly and everything's going to be just fine," Bo tried to reassure her. Nora couldn't calm down. One of her children had been hurt, and she had gone into a Protective-Mother mode.
"Someone's going to pay for hurting my daughter," Nora said in a vicious growl.
XOXOXO
Madison had no clue she was in danger. She had been trying to call her twin sister, but hadn't gotten any luck. Why hadn't Molly shown up at the diner after the dance? Had Molly and Jonathon gotten a motel room so they could have sex? She knew her sister was still a virgin. Molly had been waiting till she was a little older before she and Jonathon slept together, but maybe tonight Molly had changed her mind. Not knowing what else could be keeping her sister, Madie decided to walk home. She hadn't gotten far when some guy grabbed her. She tried to scream but he held his hand over her mouth and drug her away.
She kicked and fought him, but she was no match for his strength. He took her to his nearby apartment and chained her to the bed. "Well, what do we have here?" he said as he looked her over. "You're sure a cute little thing. I think you're even cuter than your sister."
"Leave me alone! You don't know me... and you don't know my sister!"
"Ohhh I do know your sister - quite intimately!" Zach told her. "I fucked her tonight... and then I left her bleeding in the bushes!"
"No!" Madie sobbed as this guy scared the hell out of her. What did he want with her? And had he really hurt Molly?
"It's true, darlin'. And I'm going to fuck you, too. I am going to see if you're as tight as your hot, sexy sister!" he said with a sinister laugh. "I think I am going to keep you awhile, though. I'm fresh out of prison... and I need a new little fuck-toy."
XOXOXO
After her shower, Marty got worried when she realized Jonathon wasn't home yet. He'd gone to a school dance with Molly, but he should have been home over an hour ago. She called him on his cell phone and left a message, but he wasn't responding to her call. She came downstairs to see Todd standing in front of the window. He turned to look at her and drew her into his arms. "Are you okay, baby?" Todd asked as he thought he saw tear-stains on her face.
Marty shook her head. "I am worried about Jonathon. He isn't home yet. He should have been here about an hour ago."
"I hope he isn't having car trouble," Todd said as he looked out the window and saw that his son's truck wasn't in the driveway. "He's probably just saying good night to Molly. He'll be home soon."
"When he gets here, we need to sit him down and have a talk with him, Todd. He needs to know everything. We agreed long ago that when he was old enough, we'd tell him."
"I'm scared that everything will change once he knows the truth about his dad."
"Todd, I know it won't be easy, but you have to be honest with our son. He can forgive you..." Marty said as she caressed Todd's cheek. "After all, I did."
"But I still haven't entirely forgave myself."
"And that's because you haven't made your peace with Nora yet. You have to do that, so you can move on. I'm going to be there for you, Todd. We'll do this together," Marty urged him.
"Alright," Todd said softly and reluctantly. He knew he had to do it, although it was killing him. As soon as Jonathon came home, he'd have a heart-to-heart with his son, then he'd find the strength to approach Nora and do everything in his power to make amends for hurting her, too. Marty had forgiven him, he only prayed that Nora would find it in her heart to forgive him as well.
