Months go by and Amelia is lying on her dirty mattress on the floor. She had been placed with what the judge thought was a good home, but it was just the opposite.
A new man came in to have the fun with her, her foster father had been letting men have "fun" with her to get some money, every day it was a different man. This man though, he was different, he wanted something more, but when Amelia didn't give it to him, he got angry, he began beating her, and then when she couldn't stop him, he got his way with her.
She cried herself to sleep, she was woken up the next morning with a stinging whack on her back, from and leather belt with metal ring over the holes.
"Get up bitch!" the man yelled, "You've got school this morning." And with that he left the room slamming the door behind him.
She slowly sat up as a tear ran down her cheek, "when are you coming back?" she cried, "I miss you so much daddy…"
She got up and went to the corner of the room, sifting through a small suit case of clothes. She decided to wear pants and a hoodie, she then grabbed her dads dog tags from under her mattress and hid them in her pocket as she grabbed her backpack and headed to school.
"Hey Lia," Her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Marie, greeted her at the door, unlike usual, Amelia ignored the teacher as she headed to the back of the room, her teacher just pushed it to the back of her mind, she figured that she was just missing her dad.
A few hours later
"Okay class, that's all," Mrs. Marie said as the neighboring teacher came by to take the classroom to parent pick-up or the bus loop to go home. Lia was the only one who hadn't gone with though.
"Lia, is everything alright?" Mrs. Marie asked as Amelia sniffled.
Amelia just shook her head, "no…"
"What's wrong honey? Do you miss your dad?"
"Not that..." Amelia said quietly, even though she really did miss him.
"What is it then?"
"I don't want to go home… I don't want to get hurt…" the little girl sniffled and looked up at her teacher.
"What?" the teacher asked thinking the worst of what the small brunette meant, "Who's going to hurt you?"
"The men…" She said whipping the tears away, "He calls them and they pay him so that they can touch me, it hurts a lot…"
Mrs. Marie couldn't believe what she had just heard; her worst thoughts had become reality with what the little girl had told her.
"Stay here, okay?" The teacher told Amelia and she nodded listening to her nice teacher.
A few minutes later her teacher came back putting her phone away, Amelia just knew that she had called the police and now, there was no going back… but her world was about to get turned upside down, more than it had already, as there was a knock on the classroom door, and Amelia saw 2 men in Uniforms standing on the other side of that door.
"How can I help you?" Mrs. Marie asked opening the door.
"Is Amelia Johnston here?" One of the officers asked.
"Yes, right over there," she said pointing to the little girl sitting by the window, hoping her dad would walk up to the building, she had been doing that since he had left, but he never came, "is everything okay?"
"I'm sorry ma'am, her father; Mr. Johnston was killed overseas.
Mrs. Marie couldn't believe what she had just been told; she leaned up against the door frame as the pair walked over to Amelia and sat down on either side of her.
"Amelia?" the younger man said and she looked at him, "hi, I'm Jamie; I wanted to talk to you about your dad."
Amelia turned to him, giving the man her full attention, "He went to help his friends overseas, and they needed his help," She said, obviously very proud of her father.
He nodded sadly, "I know, and your father was so nice that God needed to borrow him, he needed your dads help with some people up in heaven. Your dad was so happy and bright, and God needed him to help make the other people happy."
Amelia nodded, "My daddy does that a lot, he likes making people happy and helping them, he's very good at that." She was silent for a second as she looked out the window, "When will he be back?"
The officers exchanged looks, and the older one spoke, "Honey, he won't be coming back, I'm sorry."
"What?" she asked quickly, "but… he's going to be sad and scared up there, he needs to be back here, with me."
That's when her teacher said something, "Hey, Lia, my brothers up there too, and I promise you, he will look after your dad to make sure he's not sad, and your dad will always be with you, in your heart, and he'll always be watching you."
Amelia didn't care though, she wanted her dad, and she wanted him to be back with her, she ran into another corner of the room and cried.
Sergeant Olivia Benson and Detective Nick Amaro walked into the room just as Amelia ran into the other corner and became crying.
"What's going on here?" Olivia asked looking at the two men and Mrs. Marie.
"Her father passed away…" Mrs. Marie sad as she watched the little girl in the corner.
