It Started With A Crush

Chapter 22

"I don't feel brave most of the time" Laura stated, starting to cry. Hurriedly, she got her 

composure back, wiped her eyes, and said "I know Selena's story, but I haven't heard yours, 

or all of Rosalie's". "Well" I started, "Rosalie hasn't told me everything either, but she's 

been through a lot of trauma, I'd hate to force her to relive it. Maybe one day she'll be ready to 

tell us. As for my story, I'm fine with telling it to you.". Just at that very moment Rosalie, and 

Selena came back in with our lunch, and asked if they could listen, since I had never told 

them either. "When my mother was 24 she met a boy who she thought was the love of her life. 

He seemed like a great guy most of the time, but sometimes for seemingly no reason he would 

act very rude and obnoxious. One day when he was being sweet he asked her to marry him. The 

day before that, my mom had found out she was pregnant with me, so of course she told him. 

He was actually really supportive, and the next day he asked her to hike up a mountain with him. 

When they got to the top he tried to fling her off the edge. Luckily she managed to grab onto a 

tree branch to keep herself from falling. Then the guy came up and tried to stop himself from 

killing my mom. That was the exact moment that my mom realized that he was a twin. Of course 

it was weird because she had been dating both brothers so she had no idea which one was the 

father. Thankfully even though they looked identical they were actually fraternal twins, so once I 

was born she got a DNA test to see who my father was. Of course he turned out to be the 

obnoxious rude brother, and he did not want a child. When my mother tried to get child support 

through the court system he committed suicide by overdosing on drugs. His brother who was 

engaged to my mom married her, and adopted me when I was born. But, he was not a good 

father. Even when I was a baby he would come into my room at night, take my diaper off and 

touch me places. As I got older he said it was a game, and mommy can not know, because it is a 

special secret game. He would have me take off my clothes while he watched so that he could 

see everything." Rosalie broke down sobbing at this point and came over to hug me. Once she 

had been able to stop crying she said "That sounds like my dad... It was a game to him, of course 

as I got older he had to change his story, so as to not make anyone suspicious. Did your dad rape 

you?!" I shook my head no, and Rosalie looked relieved "I would never wish that horror on 

anyone..." she said.  "So, how did you and your mom get away from that creep" Selena asked. 

"Finally when I was seven years old my mom came home from work early and saw me standing 

in my bedroom completely naked with my "dad" practically drooling over my body. That was an 

immediate divorce, but when my mom tried to put him in jail for inappropriate sexual conduct 

with a minor he left the country, changed his name and his appearance. He has not been back 

since, and the police have never found him.". By this time every single one of us had dissolved 

into tears, not at my story in particular, but at this cruel world that we had to grow up in. Finally 

after about twenty minutes we got ourselves together and ate our lunch. Rosalie and I had 

barely finished when the toddlers woke up. I went in and got Hannah, Melody, and Meranda, 

while Rosalie got their highchairs ready. She fed her girls while I changed Meranda, and then I 

fed Meranda and her girls got changed. Selena and Laura were still finishing up their lunch. 

After just a couple minutes babies started crying. First ones to cry were Susie, Josie, Posie, and 

Marie. Rosalie stayed in the playroom with the toddlers while the rest of us helped Selena

get her babies. Each of us picked up one of the girls, rocked fed them, and gave them a bottle, 

while Selena took care of the other two. As soon they were all crawling around on the floor, 

Alia, Alissa, Malia, Melissa, Graciana, Christina, and Margretta all started fussing. Selena 

stayed in the children's room with the little ones, and Laura helped Rosalie and I get our girls 

up. Once we got to the playroom she changed Alia and Melissa while I fed the other two and then 

we swapped. Selena changed and fed Christina while Rosalie changed and fed the others. 

Then we let them crawl around on the floor. Eli, Ester and Earnest were the last to cry, and 

Rosalie helped Laura get them up, fed and changed while I stayed with Selena.
