It was tue.s Nov. 4th 8 p.m. evan, adam and I were in my and louisa's room.
"um so there's something you should know," I began.
"yeah?" evan said.
"um. For about a month mom's been. Hurting me."
"hurting you how? And why didn't you tell us sooner?" adam asked.
"bc I didn't think it was bad enough to be worrth telling."
"oh."
"and. And verbally. And physically. Look," I pulled up the sleeve of my sweater to how them a fading bruise.
"oh wow. Doe it hurt?" evan aked.
"a little."
"o that's what you meant when you told me your body hurt," adam said.
"yeah. Look I don't want you telling anyone but Rebecca," I told evan.
"ok."
I looked at adam: "and I don't want you telling anyone. Cause if we do then other people will find out. I'm only 15. It's ok if you talk to Rebecca about it though. Actually I don't think you've met. Rebecca. He evan's girlfriend she's lovely."
At this evan smiled.
"ok. Um if you need a place to stay there's my house. You know my parent will leave us alone," adam told me.
"or mine provided you don't mind that mot of our attention will be on the baby," evan told me.
"actually that sounds good. I could use a lot less attention right now," I said.
"ok well let me know."
"me too," adam said.
"ok."
"o then…..that what happened. That what…..you wouldn't tell me."
"well yeah."
"oh. That's why….you either wouldn't let me touch you or wanted me to be careful whenever I did….."
"um. Yeah."
"oh wow. Oh god. I feel so bad for being impatient w/ you."
"well you didn't know. But I get it," I told adam.
I wondered why neither of them was having a bigger reaction.
