A/N So here is the next chapter of this story! sorry it's taken so long! I've had bad writers block.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tracy Beaker!

It was the next day. Seth had left for work. Cam was sitting watching TV. Both Tracy and Cam had the morning off. Tracy walked into the living area. She sat the opposite end of the sofa to Cam.

She said, "Cam. I need to talk to you."

She said, "What is it?"

She said, "Wait. Where's Roxy?"

Cam pulled back the blanket on her knee to reveal a sleeping baby on her knee. Tracy smiled.

She said, "She loves her grandma!"

She said, "Not as much as she loves her amazing parents."

She said, "Seth has hardly seen her let alone look after her."

She said, "Okay. Maybe just her mother."

She nodded.

Cam said, "What was it you wanted?"

She said, "I need to speak to you."

She said, "Go ahead. I've got about an hour till I have to leave."

Tracy sighed and said, "Cam. Something has been going on in the apartment involving Seth."

She said, "Like what? He hasn't been hiding stolen drugs or anything has he?"

She shook her head and started crying.

She sobbed, "Cam. He...he...h-he has been… Cam I can't."

Cam said, "What can't you tell me?"

She reached for a wet wipe and wiped away the make-up from her face revealing many bruises and her black eye.

Cam said, "Seth abuses you?"

She nodded.

Cam leant to the side and pulled Tracy into a hug. Tracy let the tears loose. She was sobbing uncontrollably.

She said, "Oh Trace. Why? Who knows?"

She said, "Mike knows. Rick knows but doesn't. He walked in on Axeman yesterday. Seth left for a few minutes to get something. He got me once you'd gone to bed."

She said, "Tracy, we need you to tell us what he has been doing to you? Why?"

She said, "I don't know why. I don't know if he knows why. He just likes it. He hits me Cam. I don't feel safe anymore. I loved him. He hurt me. He started with verbal abuse then he hit me. Then he used a knife. Last night he had bought a belt. He...he raped me."

Cam said, "Oh Trace. You need to tell the kids. Then they can't let him in. They love you. They'll do whatever to protect you or Roxy."

She pulled her into a hug.

Tracy said, "I'm going to tell the kids today. If I can get the courage to."

She said, "You'll be fine. Mike can be there. Gina can be there. The kids will be supportive."

She nodded and said, "Thanks Cam. I'm going to go put more make-up on and then I'm gonna go to work now. See you later."

She nodded and hugged her.

She said, "See you later. Good luck!"

Tracy emerged from her bedroom a couple minutes later; grabbed her bag and left the flat.

She soon got to the Dumping Ground. She let herself inside the big door.

Mike ran to her and said, "Tracy!"

She hugged him.

He said, "How was last night?"

She said, "Bad. I tried to get away. I couldn't."

He said, "Come into the office."

He led her into the office.

He sat her down and said, "Tracy. What happened?"

She said, "Seth came home in a bad mood. He really hurt me Mike."

He said, "Oh Tracy. I got your text. Did you get what I was doing?"

She nodded and said, "Yeah. When Rick came, Seth was out. He had gone to get something. His mate Axeman was round. He hurt me. He laughed at my pain. He is just as bad as Seth. He made me not speak and I wasn't allowed to leave when Rick came to get me. Rick ended up staying for a bit. Axeman slapped him and punched him. Then Cam came back."

He said, "Oh no. That's why Rick is still in bed."

She nodded and said, "Yeah. Last night… Seth…he…he…he raped me."

He pulled her in for a tight hug and said, "Oh Tracy. He hurt you?"

She nodded.

He said, "Come on. Are you going to tell the kids today?"

She nodded and said, "I want to. Will you be there with me?"

He nodded. They left the office. Mike went into the main living space to find almost all the kids in there.

He said, "Where's Tee and Lily?"

Carmen said, "Lily and Tee are in Tee's room."

He said, "Okay. Everyone please stay there. We have some news to tell everyone."

They all nodded. Tracy soon returned with Lily, Tee and Rick.

Mike said, "Guys. Tracy has news. She needs you all to be supportive."

Tracy nodded.

She said, "Guys. This is pretty big news. It will affect your lives a lot."

Johnny cut her off by shouting, "You're leaving again aren't you? You got another job and are leaving us. We're not important anymore. You don't care about us. You and Seth are running away aren't you? Well guess what. I don't need you. Just go!"

He pushed her over and ran out the room.

Mike helped her up and said, "Tracy?"

She ran out the room too. Tears blurred her vision. She ran straight to the bathroom. It was the only room with a lock apart from the office. She locked the door and sank to the floor in a sea of tears. Why did Johnny have to make it a lot worse? Why did he have to behave like that?

She reached for razor in her bag. She had it with her for this reason only. She pulled out the razor and pulled up her sleeve. The blade slid across her wrist. The pain wasn't noticeable anymore. She was now used to it. She quickly grabbed a tissue and cleaned up the blood. She wrapped the bandage around her new cut. She always carried the bandage. Just in case. She pulled her sleeve down and pulled the other one up. She gently ran her fingers over the many scars that lined her wrist. She couldn't let anyone know. It was all Seth's fault. Each one of the scars represents something he has done to her. Now it's updated. The fresh one for last night. There was a knock on the door.

It was followed by a voice saying, "Tracy? Are you okay?"

She said, "I'm fine Mike. I'll be out in a minute. Just needed to think."

He said, "Okay. We're all in the living room if you want to join us. You don't have to tell today."

She said, "Okay Mike. I'll join you soon. I'll be two minutes."

She could tell he had left as the footsteps got fainter.

She dragged herself up and pulled her sleeve down. She left the room making sure she left no evidence. She would tell everyone tomorrow. Tomorrow was a new day.
