Chapter 1: The Dawn is Breaking
Looking back on my summer I felt things happened for a reason. Yes I was raped this summer but maybe it's a plan all along to see who will stick with me through everything all the challenges. I never wanted to be that person everyone felt sorry for when you were in town but as soon as you left they talked trash about you, and that's exactly why I am leaving. My dad was a little heart broken when I told him I would be leaving North Carolina early this summer but he understood. It felt weird doing anything here now. I was always seeing that face that was never fully there but always haunting me. The face of my haunting past but that's what it was it was my past my future was my baby.
Some say when someone dies a baby is born to take their place and I believe that now. When I was raped I died, it may not have been physically but emotionally I was dead. I couldn't close my eyes with out seeing the face, I couldn't go to the beach and enjoy it without screaming in terror. I was hurting my dad everything I went to sleep and screamed out in my sleep. I couldn't hurt me anymore and I couldn't hurt him with the truth of the pregnancy from my rape. I don't regret the beach that day it may have killed me but it also brought another life into this world. Maybe just maybe I was given this child so it could grow up in a loved house and that's what I would do. I couldn't blame the child as much as I wanted to I couldn't this child was my savior. I still hadn't told my dad about this savior because he would be in even more pain that his only true daughter was raped but was also pregnant from that horrible memory.
As I sat here in my childhood room looking back at all the pictures and dreams from that place where nobody dies childhood, I knew people did die. People like me who was still a child at heart had died. But I wouldn't sit here being sorry for myself. I would go back to my home in London where me and my best friends and sister lived. I knew when I got to London I would become alive again. Feeling the culture and feeling the sunshine my best friend Alice put off would change everything. Lost in thoughts of home I hadn't noticed my dad standing starring at me until he walked over to me and hugged me. My dad wasn't someone to hug but he knew some of what I was going through, he dealt with it everyday. He had to because being the police chief of this small town didn't leave room for someone else to handle it. I knew if was different being it was his daughter but he didn't show the pain he held it in as good as he could.
"Well, Bells I've loaded everything into the car we need to get going so your not late for your flight." With that my dad had left the room without another word. I got up from my seat on the bed and walked over to my picture frame of me when I was a little kid. I picked it up and easily took the worn out picture out. This picture had been my vent buddy and my salvation. This picture would get me through anything. It was simple, just me as a young girl on the beach in the sunrise with a fish in my hand. It was my first fish, but the fish didn't nothing to the picture. It was the background, the dawn that was breaking through the clouds that had always helped me. It reminded me that no matter what I would always have another day to look forward to, another dawn to break.
So, yall like? Leave some commets on your thoughts. Im currently working on chapter 2 and it will be some action and the story will pick up from there. Just felt like you might want some background information to fully understand why Bella is who she is. Also a great FF to read until i upload would be 'Simple Love' by TurningPageStew. Thanks yall, much love ~ Katie
