"I called you from the bathroom. He had been banging so hard on the door and then it stopped. That's when I called you. I didn't know where he'd gone but it stopped for a bit" Chloe said and Ange nodded.
"I opened the door because I thought I could make a run for it but he was there waiting for me in the between. I got down the stairs. I don't know how but I managed to fight him off" Chloe explained.
"That's when I started running. I just ran through the fields. I needed to get away from him. I just wanted someone to find me and help" Chloe said and Ange's heart was racing. Her daughter was looking for her and she wasn't there. She felt like such a bad mum.
"I was running and then I fell. I knew better than to get up so I was crawling. He was walking around and shouting that he wasn't angry. Then he found me" Chloe said and Ange nodded encouraging the girl to continue.
"He was just sat there waiting for me. He knew that I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going" Chloe explained "He was crouched on the ground so I wouldn't see him and he was just looking at me tapping a knife in his hand. I thought he was going to stab me mum. I thought that would be it"
Ange knew they were getting closer to it because her daughter was starting to tremble and shake now.
"He pushed be back onto the ground and I froze. I went numb. He pulled my trousers and pants down and I couldn't move. He undid his trousers and still I couldn't move. In my head I was screaming but nothing was going out. I was stuck" Chloe said crying now.
"I just lay there and let him do it because I just wanted it done. I couldn't fight him. He ejaculated almost instantly and I thought that would make him stop but he just continued and did it again" Chloe explained. Ange pulled the girl into her arms and rocked her still letting her know that she could continue.
"Then, I don't know what happened. A noise, or something but he looked away. I took it as my moment. I was jolted into reality and I started shouting. He had his hand on my throat, he wouldn't let me get away. I saw the knife on the ground and I grabbed it. That was all I could do" Chloe said and Ange nodded.
"Then I heard your voice and I just wanted you" Chloe said as she turned around and cried into her mother's shoulders. Ange just held the girl into her chest. They stayed there for about 15minutes before Ange decided to speak.
"How do you feel now" Ange asked. She knew about all of both the emotional and physical effects that Chloe was going through.
"I feel weird. I feel like its not my body. I hurt and ache all over but I can't work out what is going on" Chloe said and Ange nodded.
"That's normal. Is the hot water bottle helping?" Ange asked and Chloe nodded.
"Yeah, it's helping like the cramp and back ache but it still hurts" Chloe admitted and Ange nodded.
"I know, I wish that I knew something that would help you. Perhaps a bath?" Ange asked. It was the middle of the night now but she didn't care. She would be there for her daughter.
"I know you had a shower at SARC but it might help" Ange suggested and Chloe nodded.
"I'll go and run the bath" She said as she walked into the bathroom. Chloe nodded and headed to her bedroom to get pyjamas for herself and a towel. Once Chloe had what she needed she walked into the bathroom.
"Do you want my help, for me to stay?" Ange suggested. Chloe nodded. She didn't care that she was 28. She needed her mum and didn't want the woman to leave her at all. Ange nodded. If her daughter didn't want her to leave then she wouldn't.
Once Ange helped Chloe into the bath. She got some soap and shampoo out. She washed her daughter's hair and then gave her the soap.
"Do you want me to leave?" Ange asked wondering if her daughter wanted some privacy but Chloe's eyes begged her mother to stay.
"I'll stay then" Ange said as she sat back on the closed lid toilet as Chloe washed herself.
Ange noticed that the water was starting to get cold.
"Did it help? Do you want to come out now?" Ange asked and Chloe nodded. Ange helped her daughter step out of the bath and wrapped her in a towel. She helped the girl dry herself before helping her into her pyjamas.
"I'll dry your hair" Ange said as she guided the girl into her room.
"I know it's hard but after that you have to get some sleep" Ange said and Chloe shook her head. Ange decided that she would deal with it once the hair was dried.
"We need to go to sleep now" Ange said and Chloe continued to shake her head.
"Do you want to come in with me?" Ange asked and Chloe nodded.
"I don't think I can close my eyes" Chloe admitted, and Ange nodded.
"I know what it's like" Ange admitted "I'm not going to say it goes away but it does get better. I can promise you that"
Chloe nodded.
"Let's put the TV on and we can watch TV and you might manage to drift off. If you do and then wake up and need me. Just wake me, never be scared of coming to me" Ange said and Chloe nodded. She flopped into her mother's arm. This was needed. She just needed her mum's arm. She didn't care about anything else. She hated the idea of anyone touching her apart from her mum.
She didn't know how she was going to get through the next few days but she knew that she had her mum.
"Thank you for today" Chloe said and Ange looked down at her.
"You have nothing to say thank you for. I'm your mum" Ange said and Chloe shrugged.
"And I'm sorry for how I have been since you have told me about my conception" Chloe said and Ange turned to look at her more.
"I understand now and I don't blame you. I never should have. You have done so much for me. I don't know any other parent how has done so much for their daughter as you have for me. And know you have done so much for Kisaiya and I just don't think you know how amazing you are" Chloe said as she snuggled into her mother's chest. She could hear Ange's heartbeat and it was soothing. She doesn't know how but she drifted to sleep. She knew it wouldn't be for long but it was something.
Hope this is okay :) I really am not sure about it but it's all I can think of. I needed to get this chapter out so that I can move on to focus on Kisaiya, Chloe and Ange.
