Ally's POV

Austin took our two kids – Aaron and Alex – to the park. I was home all alone, doing the dishes. I moved my hips to a random song that came on the radio. It was a calm day. I was humming the melody of the song when I heard the door shut loudly, followed by sobs. I turned the water off and put away a plate that I had in my hand. The sobs couldn't believe to anyone else than April. She was sitting on the couch, her head in her hands. It always hurts a mother to see her child like this. I hugged her and gently rubbed her back. Her crying calmed down and she lifted her head up to look at me. Her mascara was running down her face on carpet and her eyes were red and puffy. She put her arms around me. I didn't want to say anything and force into talking.

"M-Mom…"

"S-Shhh. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. Take all the time you need." I said softly and sighed. She wiped the tears off her cheeks and took a few deep breaths.

"I-It happened when I-I was leaving t-the school." She was still sobbing here and there, but I was glad she decided to speak.

"O-One guy came to me and h-his hand went under my skirt. I was screaming and crying and trying to push him off, but he was stronger. Luckily, he didn't get the chance to do anything, because the principal came out of his office and when he saw him, he took him away to give him a lesson." She broke into crying again and I felt like crying too. I gave her a big warm hug.

"You know what? I am really glad you told me and don't worry, I and your dad will make sure nothing like that will happen again. You're safe." She went to her bedroom and I was just there. Sitting on the couch. Austin came back with the boys, they went to their rooms and Austin took a seat on the couch next to me.

"Hey, honey. What's wrong?" Surely, he noticed my expression.

"Something that was never supposed to happen, happened today." I said in a angry tone.

"What are you talking about? What happened?" He definitely sounded worried and he's gonna be literally on fire, once I tell him the news.

"April… almost… got raped today." I said between breaths. Austin looked like he would kill the first person he'll see.

"Who's that bastard?" He gritted between his teeth, which didn't surprise me.

"Is that even important? The important thing here is that I was supposed to protect my daughter from that. I know exactly what it's like to get through something like that. Once something like this happens to a girl, she might never be the same ever again. Or it takes a very long time to bring her old self back. Even if it doesn't get to the worst, it still leaves a mark in your memory and you can't do anything with that." I was impressed at myself, but that didn't matter.

"I failed as a mother." I collapsed onto the couch and held my head in my hands.

"I guess we should go talk to her." He nodded and took my hand. Before we knocked on April's door, he pulled me into a hug.

"We're gonna figure it out, like we always do. I promise." His voice made me calm a bit, but I couldn't be truly calm. We knocked on the door and waited for a response. Then we knocked two more times and I got a little worried. Austin opened the door quietly and peeked inside. When I entered the room, I was glad that April was sitting on the bed. I was worried when she didn't knock and I thought that she knocked herself out. But she wouldn't do that, she's way too strong for that.

"April, how are you feeling?" Austin sat on the right side of April and I sat on the opposite.

"Not really." She sobbed and stared blankly at her hands.

"I know, what you're getting through. I had to get through it, when I was your age." She looked at me with those big brown eyes. Her face was red from so much crying and she had some of her hair stuck to her skin.

"What are you talking about? You mean, you were raped?" I took a deep breath.

"I guess now it's right time to tell you." It was hard bringing old memories back, but if it will make my daughter feel better and safe, then let it be. I told her everything about my teenage life. About Elliott and two years of hell, meeting Austin at that old basement, staying with him… everything.

"Never forget that we will always be here for you. No matter what, you will always be our princess, we're your parents. We will always fight for you when you are too weak. And I want to thank you for telling us and for trusting us." Austin's words echoed through the room and we all hugged.

"You know, what? You are right. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, huh? Thank you so much. To be honest, I was scared of telling you, I didn't know how you would react." She said a bit shyly and looked at me, then Austin.

"You can tell us anything, anytime you want. And we'll be there when you need us." We all hugged again.

"And don't cry anymore, you're way to beautiful for that." April closed her eyes as Austin kissed her on her forehead and hugged her. I just realized that there are many girls that are getting raped out there. And most of them don't tell anyone, though they should. No one will judge them for that, I know that. But nothing will change, if they don't speak up.

"If you want, you can stay home tomorrow." April turned her head to me.

"No way! I'm gonna fight for myself. Tomorrow, I'm gonna find that guy, and I'm gonna kick his balls." She stood up from the bed.

"That's my girl." Austin and April high fived and I was still a bit worried.

"How come you're feeling so good suddenly?" Don't blame me, I had to ask.

"Mom, you are a living example of power. You have probably the worst teenage story, but here you are. You have a husband and three beautiful kids. You're my inspiration, more than ever before." I had tears in my eyes from what she just said. Being inspiration for your kids is the best feeling a parent can feel. I motioned her to come to me and my arms wrapped around her. A second later, I felt Austin join the hug. The door bang open. I saw Aaron and Alex run into the room. We pulled them into our big hug.

"Uhm. Why are we hugging?" Aaron asked. Austin opened her mouth to answer.

"Because we're family."
