Thanks for all the reviews I really appreciate them! I am soooooo sooooooo annoyed I just wrote this chapter once and my stupid stupid stupid computer managed to delete it all by it's stupid self, so this is as much the same as I can remember but I'm not sure it's as good, but don't blame me, blame my stupid useless laptop! Sorry, I'm just really really annoyed as you can probably tell. But do you know what is weird, when I was writing I decided to take a break half way through and when I did word count there was exactly 666 words, then after I've written more it deletes itself, how weird is that? But 666 was always lucky for me I don't understand it, it was even the day I passed my driving test (06/06/06)! Anyway here you go…


Calleigh decided it would probably be best if she stayed with her mom for a while, she wanted to go and see Eric, but she knew they probably wouldn't let her see him just yet if at all. They'd wait until they'd interviewed him, and they'd make him sweat it out a bit before they did that, so she figured she'd just stay here.

Calleigh's mum hadn't said anything since Eric had left, which was fine with Calleigh she didn't feel much like talking either, she didn't have anything to say to her, she couldn't forgive her for letting her go through all of that on her own when she was just a kid and she knew she'd never be able to, so there was no point trying.

"He shouldn't have done what he did," Calleigh's mom finally said quietly.

"Who?" Calleigh asked, as far as she was concerned both her dad and Eric had been wrong.

"That boyfriend of yours…what's his name…."

"Eric."

"Yeah him, what right did he think he had to go around beating your dad up like that?"

"It wasn't like that mom, he was trying to protect me."

"From what? Your dad didn't even do anything this time!"

"Eric just heard what we were arguing about and wanted to make sure dad could never hurt me like he had done in the past, he wanted to make sure I was safe, and he wanted me to know that he'd never let anybody hurt me again." Calleigh tried to explain, she knew it was useless, her mom would never understand how she and Eric felt about each other.

"I am sorry Calleigh, I swear I didn't know what was going on, I would've stopped it!"

"You did know, you lived in that house with us, you just didn't want to believe what was going on so you drunk until you could pretend it wasn't actually happening, some of us didn't have that luxury mom, we had to live through it. Do you know how scary that was? I was ten years old the first time he raped me"

"Ok, I admit I knew he hit you, but not……not those other things you say he did."

"He raped me mom, raped me, say it!"

"No, I can't, he wouldn't….he just wouldn't!"

"He did, night after night, he used to come out of your bedroom at night and into mine and you're telling me you had no idea what was going on!"

"I didn't, I swear I didn't! You have to believe me!"

"No I don't! I don't have to believe anything you say!" Calleigh had heard enough, she stood up and stormed out of the room, she hated her mom, she had just stood by while she had gone through hell and pretended she didn't see any of it, pretended she lived in some perfect little world where everybody loved each other and was happy.

Calleigh jumped into the first cab she saw after leaving the hospital, she wanted to go and see Eric, make sure he was ok, make sure he knew she was on his side. After telling the cab driver where to go she sat silently in the back of the taxi trying to figure out where it had all gone wrong. She was only supposed to have come here in order to sort out the funeral and now her dad was in hospital and her boyfriend was in prison.

When the car stopped she paid the driver before walking into the building and asking the guy on the front desk to speak with the person in charge of the investigation against Eric. She was told to take a seat, which she did, and after a few minutes and man appeared dressed in a grey suit and asked her to follow him.

"I'm Detective Collins, I'm in charge of the investigation into the assault of Mr Robinson, I understand you are his daughter." He asked politely.

"Yes, Calleigh Duquesne," she replied shaking his hand.

"Ok Mrs Duquesne, I understand that Mr Delko is your boyfriend."

"It's Miss and yes he's my boyfriend," she replied, "may I see him?"

"Normally I would say no, but he hasn't said anything since he got here, maybe it would be best if you could try and get him to speak to us about what happened, it really would be in his best interest."

"He hasn't said anything!" Calleigh said, surprised.

"Not a word, he hasn't even asked for a lawyer, would you like to follow me please." Calleigh followed the man through several doors and down corridors until she reached the cell in which they were holding Eric, the man opened the door allowing her in before closing it behind her.

Calleigh walked over to where Eric was sat and sat down next to him.

"Hey," she said turning to face him.

"Hey," he replied not moving from his current position staring at the floor.

"They said you haven't said anything, why not?" Calleigh asked, still amazed that he hadn't explained why he had done what he did.

"It's none of their business," he replied still staring at the floor.

"Eric, you know it doesn't work like that, they know you did it, if you cooperate they'll go easy on you," he slowly looked up at her.

"If I tell them, then I'll have to tell them what he did to you," he said returning his gaze to the floor.

"Yes," she replied, not sure where he was going, "so?"

"It's not my right to tell them, you should only tell who you feel comfortable telling and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't tell all of the people in this building, besides half of them probably worked with him, they wouldn't believe me."

"I know that feeling," Calleigh smiled weakly, and he looked up at her, "you have to tell them Eric, I don't care who knows, if it helps you get out of here."

"But…"

"No buts Eric, promise me you'll tell them, if they don't believe you, they can come and ask me, I'll be sat outside, but Eric you have to explain why you did what you did."

"Your dad hasn't woken up yet, he might not even press charges against me, how about I'll tell them if he does press charges?"

"Eric, he will ok? Even if it's just to get back at me, you have to tell them and you have to do it now."

"Ok," he said knowing better than to argue with her.

"I love you," she said standing up and walking to the door and knocking on it.

"I love you too," he replied watching as the door was opened and she left the room.
