"Teddy, where do you think you're going?" Amelia asked.
"Mom, I told you, I'm going on a date." Teddy said. "But I guess you weren't listening again."
"Teddy, your father and I have been through this, you are not allowed to date those, what you call a "bad boy" anymore. Beau got you in so much trouble."
"Mom, I'm not going out with a "bad boy". I'm going out with a good soul Christian boy."
Teddy's parents hated each boy she had dated, especially her last boyfriend, Beau. He was an awful influence on Teddy. He talked her into drinking one night, even though she knew it was wrong, and she came home dunk. She was grounded for a month and her parents demanded her to stop seeing Beau, but she wouldn't.
"A Christian?" Her mother questioned.
"Yes, Spencer Walsh. His family is new to our church and he goes to my school."
"Oh, so you two hit it off then?" She asked. Teddy nodded. "Well I'm happy you're finally going for a decent guy. He is decent, isn't he?"
Teddy checked her phone and saw he was waiting out front for her. "Yes, mom, I need to go."
"Well don't stay out too late and have fun."
Teddy walked out of her house and got into Spencer's BMW. She asked him what he had planned but he wouldn't tell her. Spencer pulled his car into the parking lot of Super Adventure Land an hour later."
"What are we doing here?" Teddy asked as she got out of the car.
"To have fun."
"Obviously but I meant it's kind of expensive for a first date."
"Expensive?" Spencer questioned. "Maybe for you but not for me. Come on."
When they entered the park, Teddy immediately saw some ex-friends. They all stared at Teddy when they saw her on a date with the new hot guy.
"So tell me, what are the best rides to go on here?"
Teddy shrugged. "I mean they are all pretty great."
"Second question, what time do I need to have you back home?"
"I honestly don't know but at least before midnight. My mom just told me not to stay out too late. Now that I think about it, she always used to give me a curfew. She probably didn't give me one because I'm out with what she calls a "good boy"."
"How does she know I'm good?"
"Because you go to church and is a Christian unlike my past boyfriends."
"Ah, I see, so she is stereotyping me. Maybe I'm not a good guy." Spencer joked. "I'm kidding, I am."
Teddy laughed. "Good. My parents wouldn't let me be around you if you weren't. My previous friends and boyfriends were a bad influence on me. And now I'm friends with one person."
"What happened?" Spencer asked.
Teddy shook her head. "Too much that I really don't want to get into because it'll make me cry."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Spencer said.
As they stood in line to get on a roller coaster, Teddy saw a man who looked familiar to her. It was her rapist. Suddenly memories were rushing back from that night.
"Get off me!" Teddy screamed in terror.
The man slapped Teddy across her face again and started to choke her. "Bitch shut up."
"Spencer, I need to go." Teddy immediately said sacredly.
"Teddy, we're almost at the front of the line. What's wrong?"
Teddy kept staring at the man. She started to cry. "Spencer, please, I see my rapist."
"Wait, your what?" Spencer asked confusedly.
Teddy ran out of line and Spencer quickly followed her. He found her sitting on a bench crying. He sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her, comforting her.
"What happened?" He asked.
Teddy was silent for a few minutes before she managed herself to tell him. "A year ago I was walking home and that man I saw, brutally beat and raped me. When he was done with me, he threw me out on the streets, because I was in his van, unconscious to die." Teddy started to cry more.
Spencer's eyes widened when he heard Teddy's story. "And he didn't get locked up in prison?"
Teddy shook her head. "They couldn't find him. Everyone at school thought I went to rehab because of that but my parents had me stop going for some other reason I'm not supposed to talk about…"
"I'm sorry that happened to you. This was supposed to be a fun day but look, here you are crying."
Teddy saw that man again. "I really feel uncomfortable being here when he's practically in front of me. Can we please leave. We can do something else or you can just take me home."
"We could go see a movie. Wanna see a movie?" Spencer suggested.
Teddy wiped her eyes. "That's fine. I just can't be here."
"I completely understand."
Teddy smiled and she and Spencer walked back to his car. The two of them went to the movie theater to see a movie and then went out to dinner at some cheap place Teddy would often go with her friends. After they ate, Spencer drove Teddy home.
"I'm sorry I ruined today for wanting to leave."
"No, Teddy, I completely understand. I don't want you feeling uncomfortable. I still had fun."
Teddy smiled and opened the door to the car to get out. "I had fun too. I guess I'll see you tomorrow at church. Bye."
Spencer leaned over and gave Teddy a kiss on her cheek. "Bye."
When Teddy entered the house, she saw both her parents and Charlie sitting on the couch with the TV on. Both her parents were surprised she was home so early because she's normally late.
"Did you have fun?" Amelia asked.
"Not at first but yeah, I did."
"What did you do?" She asked.
"He first took me to Super Adventure Land but then I asked to leave after being there an hour. And then we went to see a movie and out to eat."
"Why did you ask to leave?" Robert asked.
"Yeah, honey, I thought you loved Super Adventure Land."
Teddy sat down on the chair. "I saw my rapist and I needed to get out of there."
"You what? Did you call the cops to get that sick man arrested?"
Teddy shook her head. "Didn't cross my mind to at the moment when I was crying my eyes out." Teddy stared at Charlie who laid in Amelia's arms sucking on a bottle. "Seeing him again made me realize Charlie looks nothing like him."
"Are you sure that was him?" Her father asked.
"Dad, I could never forget him. I'm traumatized for life. I'll probably never have sex again because I'll just think back to the time when I was fifteen and raped."
The next day Teddy and her family went to church around ten. After the service ended, Amelia had Teddy watch Charlie while she went off mingling with her friends and same with her father. Spencer found Teddy across the room and went to sit with her.
"Hey."
"Hi." Teddy smiled.
"This your sister?"
"Sort of..."
"I had fin yesterday. We should definitely do it again."
"I'd like that."
Spencer kept staring at the Charlie and then back at Teddy and noticed a major resemblance. At first he thought it was just because they're sisters but he looked at Teddy's parents and didn't see much resemblance with her and them. He also remembered how Teddy said she was taken out of school and was able to start attending it at the beginning of her Junior year. Spencer put two and two together and came to the conclusion that Charlie is Teddy's daughter.
