"Ever since I was born my dad had a serious drinking problem. Something must of happened. One time when I was one, I saw him beat my mother. After that she started abusing me. My dad saw this and started abusing me too." I felt a tear run down my face but I kept from sobbing."You know you don't ha-" Lara started but I interrupted her,"It's fine, I would've had to tell you anyway." She put her hands up in surrender which earned a chuckle from me. "Anyway, every so often the alpha would come to see how we are. I was forced to put a fake smile on and we pretended to be a happy family. It's funny how I felt more of a connection with the alpha instead of my father.
They would hide the bruises and cuts with things. I made two friends though. Their names were Lily and Derek.Derek has black hair and Lily had red. Me complete brunette."
"So did they know about you being abused?" Michael asked. I nodded.
"I met them at the festival," I said. "What festival?" Lara asked. "Well every 2 months, we have a festival for kids in the pack. Games, food, etc. It was fun. Anyway when I was 4, the alpha saw one of the bruises. He asked me what happened. Of course I lied and said I fell down the stairs. That night, they beat me for showing it accidentally. I started having nightmares about them abusing me.
I cried in my sleep. At five I even tried to kill myself more than 5 times, but they always got to me on time and beat me for trying to escape their rath. By six I got tired of their abuse and killed them. That was the first time I smiled. I fell asleep until I was woken by the alpha. He gave me sympathy and instead of killing me he let me be a rogue. 3 years I was alone and rogues tried to kill me. That's when Nia came along. I stayed with her for a year but ran away. I felt something bad was gonna happen. She found me and carried me back to her house.
I stayed with her. Then when I was about 14 I received a phone call that Nia had an incident at work and lost her eye sight. I ran to the hospital and that's when I met her best friend. Ever since then I really never left her side.
Nia is family like an older sister I never had. The only person to take care of me. If anything were to happen to her I would never forgive the person and get revenge." I felt tears run down my face and my eyes were turning black. I made my hand into a fist. Lara hugged me. I could feel her tears soak my jacket."I'm so sorry," she sobbed. I pat her head and said, "It's not your fault I had terrible parents." I smiled at her. She sobbed even harder.
Michael POV
I looked at her shocked and sad. Everyone has a past. Including me, even worse than that. Never will I tell her. I can't. I stood up once Lara stopped crying. "Come on Lara I'll take you home," I said. She nodded and walked to the door. I gave Carla a hug and walked out the door. "Are you gonna tell her?" Lara asked. "She can't know. It'll break her heart." I replied getting into the car. "She'll find out sooner or later , you know that right." With that she got out the car. I leaned my head back. "Would you let her hate you more or just be mad at you for keeping it a secret?" She closed the door and walked away. She made a good point. "I don't deserve her friendship anyways. I should just disappear."
I started the car and drove home.
