HEY GUYS SORRY IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I POSTED. I'VE GOT A NINE MONTH OLD AND JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS CHAPTER! REVIEW PLEASE!
Frankie woke up in her father's dim laboratory. She slow sat up rubbing her eyes. She yawned looking around to see her dad asleep at his desk. She walked over putting a hand on his shoulder making him jump.
"I'm sorry daddy…" she said backing away "I…" before she could finish her sentence he father jumped up and pulled his daughter in hugging her tight.
"Its ok baby everything's going to be alright. I took care of it." He said in a tired voice. She pulled out of his hug standing in front of him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I went to the station and pressed charges on Manny." He said rubbing his forehead. Frankie just stared at him and asked "What charges?" Frankenstein stood silent for a moment "Well seeing how Manny is eighteen and your technically only a few months old but were made to look sixteen he is being charged with aggravated sexual assault…That's all they can do because he admitted to assaulting you but he never fully raped you. So he will have a trial next week." Frankie's jaw dropped as she stood there staring wide eyed at him.
A few moments had passed when Frankie snapped out of it. She shook her head trying to gather her thoughts. "Okay... So what does that mean for me?" she asked getting an uneasy look from him.
"Well you are the victim so you will have to be there to testify. Till then you will not go to school. Your mother has already contacted the Headmistress about it she will send will have one of your fiends bring it to your after school."
"When this is all over how long is Manny looking at?"
"Going by you being made as a sixteen year old… he's looking at twenty-six weeks to two years. Going by when you were made… one to four years. "
"Wait if he admitted to it why is he having a trial?"
"Well they can't just sentence him for saying he did it there was actual evidence in the pictures that your friend took to send him to trial."
Frankie froze when he said that. She felt a pit in her stomach. She nodded and walked away.
"Where are you going?" her father called after her.
"I just want to be alone." She said not looking back as she walked through the large wooden doors.
Frankie walked through the house toward her room but was stopped at her door when her mother called to her from the library. She turned and stood in the doorway.
"Are you okay?" her mother asked as she sat in her usual spot putting her book down. Frankie looked at the floor not wanting to answer. "Frankie?"
"Why? Why did this happen Mom?" Frankie answered felling a lump form in her throat. Her mother didn't answer.
Frankie felt the tears stream down her face. Her mother stood and walked to her daughter arms open as if inviting her in to comfort her. Frankie didn't want to be comforted she wanted answers. Taking a step back she putting her arms up in front of her she yelled "NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" her mother gave her a hurt look as her eyes filled with tears. Dropping her arms she spoke harsh tone "Frankie… I'm sorry for what happened to you. But we cannot tell you why Manny did what he did. You need to quit asking you the wrong people. Please stop pushing the people who love you away." Frankie walked backward till she hit her bedroom door. She tears had dried up. She gave her mother a blank look. She answered in a mono tone emotionless voice. "Fine I'll stop asking, but understand the Frankie you knew is dead. I am dead. I wish I was dead." She opened her bedroom door walked in and slammed it. Frankie laid on her bed. Not moving only thinking.
'Why? Why did Manny do this to me? I can't go to school. I have to testify in court. I never thought he would do this. Why? I thought he loved me. I never should have forgiven him for cheating on me. I should have had Deuce and Cleo stay in the room. Maybe this would have never happened. It's all my fault. I should have fought back more. I should have screamed when he told me not to, but would he have hurt me more?'
Frankie got up and walked to the full length mirror. She removed Cleo's hoodie and sweat pants. She looked into the mirror to see a girl she didn't recognize. She had bruises on her forearms in the shape in hands, her legs had bite marks and bruises. All the bruises were dark multi colored. The bait makes were red and welted.
Frankie stared at herself for the longest time till she heard a knock on the door. She jumped and ran into the bath room closing the door behind her. She sat against the door when she heard her friend's voices coming from the other side of the door. 'How long has it been?' Looking at the Clock on the wall she noticed that school had ended an hour ago. 'Great I missed another day.' She sat not answering them.
Another knock on the door is when she answered with two words in a harsh voice "Go away" Draculaura answered first. "Frankie? Are you okay?" No answer.
"Please Frankie come out." Clawdeen said knocked on the door again.
"I think she needs time to herself mates." Lagoona said as the voice of reason.
"Maybe Lagoona is right." Cleo agreed. Frankie let out a sigh of relief. 'Yes leave.'
"She does not need to be left alone. Not after what just happened." Clawdeen growled.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Frankie screamed through the door. She heard Draculaura start crying and Clawdeen let out a small whine. Finally she heard footsteps and her bedroom door close.
Frankie slowly stood up and cracked open the door. Seeing she was finally alone she sighed and walked through the door and laid on her bed.
