Kya's POV:
"Kya, why didn't you tell me about... everything?" Kevin asked. His voice was soft.
We had left Beck's RV an hour before. Nikki took my car home. We were sitting in a park on top of a table.
"I don't know. It isn't exactly something that I llike to talk about. When I broke down in there... you know that doesn't happen often, at all. Whenever I think about it or talk about it, I relive it. You can't possibly understand that. It hasn't happened to you. I'm not saying you couldn't help. I know you could." I took a deep breath.
I felt bad about not telling Kevin. He was a great boyfriend. Did all the things a boyfriend should. Being honest is something I should do. Technically, I am honest, Kevin has never asked if I was sexually abused. Granted that isn't a normal question to ask you girlfriend or boyfriend. Kevin sighed bringing me back.
"I don't want symathy. I told everyone in there because I feel like I can trust the people I told. I didn't plan on saying it. Jade started to tell about the first time. I had to get that off my chest, out of mind. I know that you, Nikki, and Jade won't show sympathy because you know I don't want that. Beck shouldn't either, Jade will tell him not to."
"Kya... right now I'm not focused on who you told or why. I want to help. I want to be able to understand so that I can help. I tried rubbing your arm when you were crying, you didn't even feel me. Jade barely touches your arm and your head snaps up. That makes me feel like... not bad. I want to be able to empathize, not sypathize. Help me understand." Kevin said never losing his soft tone of voice. There was no emtion.
"There is no way that I can make you understand without you feeling like you went to hell and came back burnt to a crisp. When it happens you don't have control over your own body. The feeling is foriegn and unwelcomed. I have tried everything to move on. Alone it isn't easy. I don't like to share it with other people." This conversation was really akward.
"I will never be able to fully understand what it feels like. That I accept as truth. I will never be the one to empathize with you like Jade will be able to. Even if she can only do it partialy. All I ask is that you let us help you." Kevin said looking in my eyes.
"Of course you can help. Please don't treat me any differently now that you know what happened to me."
"Of course not. Its getting late, I'll take you home."
No One's POV:
When the others left Beck and Jade sat in the RV silent. The air felt thick with the new realizations made that night. Thoughts swirled in the couples' heads, niether choosing to voice them. That is until Beck broke the silence.
"Jade, why haven't you told me about any of those things? Do you not trust me?"
"Its not that I don't trust you. As you heard just now, my past isn't a pleasent one. Reliving that not so good past isn't fun. I tend not to do it. Please don't feel bad. When telling our past I stayed away from anything that you know, so as not to let out anything that didn't need to be said. I noticed a difference in Kya. Each time it happened to her. In fourth grade she barely spoke to anyone but me. The second time, she freaked out. Locked herself away for days. You would go over to her house and find her in tears. The third time, I didn't know about it, but I noticed a change in her. You didn't find her in tears, but she would zone out for hours at a time. When you asked her what was wrong she denied doing anything out of the ordinary. She lost her smile after that. If anything ever bothered Kya you could automatically tell because her smile was gone. She wasn't neccisarrily frowning. Whenever those things happened to her she never smiled." Jade said, at the end talking more to herself than Beck.
"I noticed that everytime someone brought up the past her big, bright smile vanished. Jade, we will be able to help Kya. Please from now on tell me everything no matter how bad. I could tell be the look on Kevin's face that he didn't know about any of that. I don't want that to be me someday Jade." Beck said looking at his girlfriend.
"I won't keep anything from you. I hope we can help her. If she can move past this... it would help her so much."
"Then its settled, tomorrow we try to help Kya move past her past. You as well." Beck said.
