When I woke up the next morning I soon realised why sleeping on the couch is a bad idea even if it is just for a short time. I am sore all over, today is already a stressful day and now it's even worse.
Today is the anniversary of a very important day for me, it was the day I got taken out of my hell and placed into heaven. When I was seven I was taken out of a very abusive home, I was beaten everyday for most of my life, I can't remember a time when I wasn't hurting. It been 16 years since I was rescued and not a day goes by where I don't think about what I went through. I would never wish it on anyone. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
I had taken a beating like no other the night before, it was so bad my mother stepped in and stopped my father, she had never done this before she had normally just watched and laughed or walked away when she knew he was about to start, I honestly like she walked away but because she didn't want to see me get hurt but because she had grown bored. When she had stepped in she had taken my dad and calmed him down the only way she knew how, by seducing him, they were in my room and I couldn't leave, I can't walk so I just closed my eyes and went to sleep. I don't remember much from that night from then on and at that age I didn't really understand what she was doing but now that I am older I realise what had been happening. All I can say is that I am so glad I didn't have to sleep in that bed one more time.
The next morning I don't remember getting dressed and I don't remember walking to school. But I had. when I got there my teachers pulled me aside and questioned me, I had cuts and bruises everywhere, there was blood on my face, my clothes, it was in my hair. They called the police when I wouldn't talk, I remember being taken in a car to the station and I remember a young lady holding me and feeding me cake and hot chocolate. It all happened so fast one minute everything was calm and peaceful, I felt a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, I felt safe and that it all changed. There was screaming and swearing, there were bangs and other load noises. After about 10 minutes it all went quite and I hear the worst sentence I had ever hear.
'They have gotten away'
I was soon placed in a children's care home for my own safety, it took 3 weeks for me to be placed in my first foster home, and only 1 week for them to send my back, they said it was because I was not normal, that wanted a normal child to care for. this same thing happened 4 more times, sometimes I was there for 3 weeks, sometime 2 days and there was 1 time I didn't even see their house, they just turned around and brought me back.
It wasn't until I turned 8 that I was placed into the Hale family. Mr and Mrs Hale where in their early 40's when they took me in and couldn't have children of their own, they where the best thing that had ever happened to me other than Emmett, they had done there research on me and adopted me straight away. at first I didn't want to be there, I felt like a project but after time went by I soon realised that they didn't adopt me because they wanted to study me , they adopted me because they knew they could help me.
Papa hale was a psychologist with his own practise, he knew how to help me with my past and he did, he had the best relationship anyone could ask for between a father and a daughter. He was loving and caring and never cross with me. Papa hale past away when I turned 21 and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through, I am glad I had Emmett there to help me and support me when I needed him the most.
Mama hale was his polar opposites she was wild and funky, she was a designer of her own clothing line, everyone wanted to be seen in her clothes, when she was younger she was a model and had grown fascinated at some of the clothes what that she had modelled for. This is where she got her inspiration from to start her own line. When I grew up I wanted to be just like her, she was and still is my idol.
I first started to model when I was 10 years old, I used to go to all my mother's photo shoots and just watch her get all of her models ready and I wanted to join in so much, I became know on sets by models and photographers as my mother's shadow. One day my mother had gotten a call from a famous photographer saying that one of his child models had pulled out last minute and he thought I would be perfect to stand in. I begged and pleaded for my mum to let me go and in the end she did.
The shoot was for a bridal maganzine and I was to model some of the bridesmaid dresses. This is where I fell in love with the camera, I had fun with it and finally let loose and forgot all about my past something I had never been able to before now. After this shoot my mum started getting more and more calls for me and I started to work regularly. And I loved it.
Thinking of my past made me lose track of time and I was brought out of my memories by and small squeeze around my waist. I looked up to find Emmett looking down at me in wonder.
'What?' I smiled.
'Nothing, I just love to look at you, is that so wrong?' he laughed.
'It is when it's creepy' I replied jokingly
He just laughed and snuggled into me more.
'I don't want to get up, but I have another meeting with the guys. I can cancel though if you want me to stay with you, I know what today does to you'
'No, I'll be fine, am just going to spend the morning with my mum and then I have a shoot this afternoon, I won't have time with think about today'
'Are you sure, I know I love your mum and you know a LOVE watching you model' he said kissing my neck. I laughed because it tickled and because I know how much he loves to watch me at work.
'Am sure, but thank you for offering'
'Anytime, anyplace for you, I love you'
'I love you too'
We kissed and stayed holding each other for 10 more minutes before the alarm went off.
My parent have never been found, and it still buts me on edge sometimes they could be anywhere, doing anything, hurting anyone. I will never be able to get their faces out of my mind.
