Chapter 11 – Breaking Down
I couldn't help it when I broke down and cried, but Miss was talking
'It's ok Barry we are going to help you alright'
She walked to her desk and got out her phone and started talking to someone
'We need to get you to the nurse, and then the police will come and talk to you'
'What's the point he is already in jail'
'His sentence could be extended'
'NO, my family will hate me'
Suddenly Mr Clarkson who had enrolled us walked in
'Right do you want to talk about it?'
They were both looking at me with the same look on their faces. Pity.
I couldn't take it I ran out the classroom and ran as fast as I could, Clarkson was chasing me but I continued to run till I got out the school, and started walking around the park.
I arrived at a bench and sat down; I covered my face with my hands thinking I was shaking and sobbing.
Someone sat down next to me but it was only Clarkson who drove me back to school.
I went to the nurse's office and had to show her the bruises, it was sooooooooo awkward.
I was arranged to see a counsellor to not only get over the abuse but to stop causing harm to myself.
Dynasty, Kacey and mum all arrived they comforted me as I cried and mum started blaming herself, my sisters were upset as I have always being the strong one to them and now I was falling apart.
I was just sat there in silence I couldn't say what had happened it was too painful to think about let alone repeat. The police couldn't get anything out of me and said they will come back next week to take the statement again.
I was going to make a statement until later that night when the phone rang, I was nearest so I answered it (actually that's a lie but Dyns nails had to dry) I picked the phone up and dads voice rang out from the other side.
'WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT AN ABUSE ALLERGATION'
I gulped 'I am just telling it how it is'
'TELL THEM YOU WERE LYING, IF MY SENTANCE GETS EXTENDED BECAUSE OF YOU I WILL GET YOU'
'You're in prison how do you expect to do that'
'I HAVE MY WAYS'
'But they have already seen the bruises'
'THEN SAY YOU CAUSED THEM'
He hanged up and I knew I couldn't tell, I had to pretend I was lying.
