I don't own commander in chief
To answer some questions I do have sisters, but the oldest is called Rebecca, so I could not use that name. My other sister are Elizabeth and Catlin is I have been doing Irish Dancing since I was 4 years old, until 17
This chapter is going to be very sad, it has taken me ages to write it, and I hope it is good, but it will be very upsetting.
Mac and Rod never found out about the girls going out and Thankfully Kelly kept her word and never told her boss and friend.
Elizabeth had been thinking a lot about her life before she came to America, she felt so happy here and finally felt like she belonged, but she could not help remember what had happened to her and what Rick did to her. She let her mind wander to about a 5 years ago, when she was so frightened.
Rick had hurt her before, but never this bad, he was really angry and she thought he was going to kill her. Her Mom was pregnant at the time with Catlin and Rick came home, Rachel had went out and a 10 year old Elizabeth was in herself, she decided to make Cookies, her Grandmother had taught her when she visited, but she messed up the kitchen a little and Rick came home. He hit her and kicked her, and then made her do something which she was ashamed of. He pulled down his trousers and made her pleasure him. She was so scared, but he said if she never done it he would kill her Mom and the new baby, so she did it. This continued for years, Elizabeth was terrified every time, but only done it for her sister, if Rick was hurting her, then she hoped he would leave her alone.
One day about 8 months ago, Rachel found out, instead of blaming Rick, she blamed her daughter and called her a slut. Elizabeth had never told anyone this or that her mother never spoke to her from that moment onwards, this is the reason why she blamed herself for her mother's death.
Elizabeth was sitting by her Grandmothers tree, she was to write an Essay for English about an experience in their life which they had found traumatic, she had many experiences and did not want to write about any of them, they all hurt so much. She sat in her room and cried, she was oblivious to the world around her, and never noticed the time pass.
It was dinner time and Mac had promised the family she would dine with them that night, when she came up everyone except Elizabeth was sitting around the table.
Mac: Hi sorry I am late
Rod: Is Elizabeth with you
Mac: No
Rod: She is not in the Residence
Mac: She knows we are all having dinner together tonight
Rebecca: She seemed a little distant today at school
Mac: OK everyone just eat, I will go and look for her
Mac stood up and went looking for her, she knew she wasn't in the Residence so she asked the nearest Secret Service agent to ask where her daughter was, they said she was in the Gardens at the memorial trees. Mac looked out the window it was now pouring of rain and there was a heavy thunder storm starting. Mac walked to the trees she was soaking, as you are not suppose to use an umbrella in a thunder storm. She got to Elizabeth who was shivering in the rain, but she never felt it she had tears running down her cheeks.
Mac hated to see her kids like this, she took her suit jacket off and put it around her. Elizabeth turned around to see Mac standing. She turned around and hugged her.
Elizabeth: I am sorry I missed dinner
Mac: That's all right honey, lets go inside you will get phenomena out here
Mac walked with her back up to the Residence and into her room. She got her to go into the bathroom and got some towels to dry her off. She then found her robe which was on the heater and put it on her.
Mac; Do you want to tell me what is wrong
Elizabeth: I can't tell you, I just got a bit upset
Mac: Baby you do know that I love you, and you can tell me anything
Elizabeth: Please don't make me, I am not ready yet
Mac: sweetie do you remember I suggested that you go and see a counsellor
Elizabeth: I am not Mad, I don't need one
Mac: Baby no one said you are, but you have been through a lot and you need someone to talk to about it, and they won't say anything to anyone, it will just be you and them
Elizabeth: I just can't tell anyone, my Mom found out what I did, and she never spoke to me again.
Mac: Honey what do you mean
Elizabeth: She found out what I did last September and never said a word to me after it
Mac: Baby I promise I will not do that I just want to make you feel better
Mac moved closer to her daughter and placed her hand on her knee.
Elizabeth: If I tell you, then you can't tell anyone, I know you told Dad what I said last time
Mac: I am sorry I should not have done that, you trusted me with that information
Elizabeth: It is OK, I wanted him to know, but was to scared to tell him myself
Mac: I promise that it will stay in this room
Elizabeth: Rick used to make me do things to him, I felt horrible after it, but he said he would kill Catlin if I never
Mac felt her stomach drop, she looked at the child in front of her and realised just how much she must have been hurting. She pulled her daughter into a tight hug and she started to cry again.
Elizabeth did feel a lot better now she had told someone, but she could not help but cry,
Mac: Oh my poor baby, I am so sorry you had to go through that alone
Elizabeth: It isn't your fault, I never told anyone
Mac: How long was this going on for
Elizabeth: Since I was 10, Mum was pregnant at the time with Catlin
Mac: Did he ever rape you
Elizabeth: No, it was only ever oral, but I was scared he might,
Mac; Darling you know that you are safe now,
Elizabeth: My mum found out, she blamed me and never spoke to me for 2 months
Mac: She knows you never meant it
Elizabeth: I wish I was just brave enough to say no
Mac: You were so brave honey, you went through this all on your own and you did it to protect your little sister.
Elizabeth: When we came to Connecticut just before Catlin was born I was so happy, he and Mum stayed at Grandma's and I got to come and stay with you for 3 weeks. I always felt safe at your house and then I had to go home.
Mac: Grandma thought there was something going on, but she could not work it out
Elizabeth: She knew I was unhappy, but I never told anyone, she was always making me cookies and asking me questions
Elizabeth lay her head on her Mom's lap and Mac gently stroked her hair, she started to cry again and eventually fell asleep. Mac just sat even after she fell asleep and eventually she too fell asleep until Rod woke her as there was an emergency and she was needed in the situation room.
Rod: What is wrong with her
Mac: She was just upset about Rick
Rod: is there something else wrong
Rod could tell from Mac's face that there was,
Rod: Mac
Mac: She asked me not to tell you or anyone else,
Mac went downstairs with all of the kids now asleep.
Please review, I know it was sad,
