Jordan
"Um," Maria was standing up, facing all of us in the living room. She had just finished eating, so now she had to tell everyone about her dad. She shot a nervous look at me and I smiled at her.
"What's wrong?" Andy asked, gently.
Maria took a deep breath, "I've never known my dad. He left my mom and I before I was born. Today, my mom told me who he was."
"Well that's great," Jinxx said, cutting her off. "You get to meet him."
"Uh no," Maria chuckled. "Jordan, mom and I were watching the news when this man came on, he's a rapist and he's also my father."
"Your dad raped someone?" Ashley asked, his eyebrows raised.
"Actually he raped my mom," she whispered.
"Is he out?" Andy asked.
Maria nodded, "he escaped."
Everyone got up, hugging her tightly. I joined them, patting Maria's back. I was surprised that she wasn't crying.
"Are you okay?" Sandra asked, when all stopped hugging her.
"No," Maria replied, "what if he's out there, watching my mom or I?"
"If you were in danger I'm sure the police would have called you," Jake said, "or at least that's what they do on T.V."
I looked at him, raising my eyebrow. He shrugged and I turned back to Maria.
"You don't look okay," I commented. Maria looked like she was about to start crying again, and I walked toward her.
"I'm going to get some air," Maria murmured, walking away from me. She walked out of Andy's house, slamming the door shut behind her.
"I'm going to go talk to her," I said, walking toward the door, but Andy jumped in front of me.
"Let me," he stated, and I gave him a confused look. "You always tell me I'm understanding, I think I could help her."
"I don't know," I bit my lip, "be really nice to her."
"I will," he replied, "and if I need you I'll come get you."
"Fine," I sighed. He disappeared through the door and I went back to the couch to watch T.V. with everyone.
