A/N.... I'm soooo sorry guys! I know it's been a long time since I last updated. I had so many ideas, but I just didn't know how to put those ideas into words.... Can you forgive me? ::tear::
Chapter 15 - Just Another Statistic
I watched my father as he paced around the room.
I knew it. I was such a disgrace to the family. First, I allow my self to get violated and now I'm pregnant. He'll probably never want to see me again and send me to live with my mother.
"I guess, I'll pack my things then," I said getting up from the couch.
He stopped pacing and turned and looked to me.
"What?"
"I'm asuming that you would want me leave, especially under the circumstances. So, I'll just pack my things and go."
I tried walking away, but my dad grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into a hug.
"Liberty, you're my daughter, and I love you. What makes you think I'd want you to leave?"
I started crying. I felt so dumb. I should've known he wouldn't have done that. He took me in when my own mother didn't want me.
"I'm a disgrace to this family."
"How could you say that? You know I don't think of you that way."
I pulled away from the hug and looked him in the eyes.
"Yes, but I do dad! I'm 14 years old for christs sakes and I'm pregnant! Oh, and let's not forget that it's my fault for getting raped!"
"Liberty! Don't say that! Don't you ever say that!"
"Why not? It's true! I should've been more careful!"
"Libby,you couldn't have stopped what happened even if you tried! This type of thing happens to a lot of girls."
"Yeah, but not to me! I don't want to be just another statistic!"
"You're not a statistic," He cuffed my chin in his hand and looked into my eyes," You're Liberty Marie Van Zandt, the most beautiful girl in the world, who just happened to have things go wrong in her life. It's normal for things not to go our way."
I nodded. He was right, but I didn't want to be normal. I wanted to accomplish things people never even dreamed of doing. I wanted to find a cure for cancer, or discover cold fussion, anything. I didn't want to be a teen mother, but that's what I was. Though, I'm excited for these babies more than anything, I'm dreading it all the time. How would I know how to take care of it? I was afraid I would fail.
"Liberty, were going to get through this. And I promise, until the day I die, we're going to nail that son of a bitch!"
I nodded and smiled. This time, I pulled him into a hug.
