Tonis POV
I'm sitting at the kitchen table waiting for all the kids to get home from school.
Cher had to go to work unexpectedly so it's just me home right now.
"Mom?" Lexi asks coming in
"Hey Sweetheart,"
"C-can I tell you something?"
"Of course Lex," I say putting my phone down
She sits next to me and sighs
"Promise you won't be mad?"
"I promise, what's wrong?"
"Well, today on lunch I was working out on the fields,"
"Ya, RJ told me,"
"A guy on the fields pulled me behind the bleachers and asked me out.. I said no and.." she says starting to cry
"Oh baby," I say standing up and hugging her
What the fuck happened?
"I don't like him mama," she whispers "I didn't like what he did,"
Oh sweetie, can you tell me what happened?"
"He c-covered my mouth and then p-put his hand in my pants.." she says starting to cry harder
I hug her until she calms down and then I wipe her tears
"Baby I am so sorry this happened to you okay? Can you tell me who it was?"
She shakes her head
"You can't? Or you won't?"
"He'll hurt Tony," she says "he said so,"
Tony is small but he's jacked and really muscular for his age.
"Baby I don't think anyone at school has the ability to hurt TJ, especially since he hangs out with LJ and AJ,"
"He will,"
I try and comfort her until Cher comes in.
"Hey TT," she says kissing my cheek "hey Lex,"
She looks at me concerned.
"Lex, do you want me to talk to mom or do you want to?"
"I'm going to my room,"
"Okay,"
She leaves and Cher sits down beside me
"Lex was assaulted at school today, behind the bleachers," I say shaking my head
"Who?" She asks angrily
"She won't tell me, they said they'd beat Tony up,"
"What do we do Toni?"
"We talk to her, we call the cops, I have footage from the fields- I'll go to the school and make sure it's not wiped,"
She nods and I peck her lips.
"And we have to make sure everyone else got home okay- I've only seen Lex,"
She nods and all the kids are here.
We go upstairs to Lexs room and I sit on the edge of her bed.
"Baby, we're going to call the police okay?"
"No,"
"Why not Lexi?" Cher asks
"Because,"
"Lex, please- we don't want you to be scared at school or anything,"
"You guys don't understand,"
"We don't understand what sweetheart?"
"How it feels? Everyone is going to think I'm a whore,"
"Lexi,"
"No mom, you don't get it,"
"Baby, we were both assaulted when we were kids,"
"W-what?"
"I was raped and constantly harassed and assaulted by my ex," I say grabbing her hand
"Too bad I wasn't raped mom," she spits "it doesn't matter and no one is going to believe me over him,"
"We will sweetie, I promise okay?"
"You can't do anything about it if nothing happened,"
"Wanna tell me what did happen?"
"He grabbed my boobs and put fingers... in me," she says looking at her hands "and then he held me against the pole, and pulled his.. penis out to taunt me,"
"Who baby?" Cheryl asks
She looks right at me and sighs
"Wren Quintpacki," she sighs
That's my senior defence captain.
"That's why I couldn't tell you, he said we couldn't win without him,"
Lexi is big into a lot of sports, her best is definitely football.
"Oh Lex, I don't care about that stuff- if he does things like this he's not welcome on my team,"
"He did it to my friend too," she whispers "she just told me,"
"What friend honey?" Cher asks
"Karli,"
"Mom and I already contacted the police, tell Karli if her and her mom want to come over they're welcome to,"
"Okay,"
Cher sits with her and I go to call Reg.
"Mama?" Tony asks
"Hey baby, I'm so sorry. How was your day?"
"What happened to Lexi?" He asks
"We'll talk about that later sweetheart,"
"No mom what happened?" He asks again
"TJ, I'm handling it- go do your homework,"
"No,"
He's super protective of Lexi.
"Baby please,"
He pushes past me and goes into Lexs room.
That's Cheryls problem.
"Mia, KC?"
"Hi mom," they both say
"How was school?"
"Stupid," Mia says "everything is so boring,"
"I know honey," I laugh
She's a genius
Has a 100 average
Crazy
"What about you KC?"
"Mias my tutor so I'm fine,"
"So girls, your sister went through something pretty bad today- Mom and I will be pretty wrapped up with her for the night so uncle Reggie is going to take you guys out for dinner okay?"
"Do we have to?" Mia asks
"Yes sweetheart, I don't want you in the house,"
"What happened?" KC asks
"We'll talk about it later, I'm so sorry okay? We'll all do something together once this is all over okay?"
They nod and go downstairs, so I walk back into Lexis room.
"Mom- I'm going to kill him!" TJ snaps
"TJ absolutely not,"
"But mom.."
"Tony," I say softly "your sister doesn't need this right now, okay? Just be with her and help her, I know that he hurt her and trust me he'll pay for what he's done but you don't have to get suspended or charged for this okay?"
"Lexi?" He asks
She nods and he hugs her
"Tony can you go with Reggie for dinner?"
"Sure,"
He leaves and I sit next to Lex.
"You'll be okay sweetheart,"
"I know mom,"
