Ariel's POV

It's been a week since I've told Mama that I've been raped and pregnant and I'll hear her cry every night and in the mornings her eyes would be so puffy with bags under her eyes eyes from crying so hard.

I do the same and I wake up looking like an ugly beast.

I still hate myself that I haven't told anybody three years ago and she wouldn't be that depressed and I wouldn't be pregnant now.

She took Sabrina and I to the police station and we told everything about William. The times that he abused me and the bruises on my body. Sabrina also told them the times that she's been abused and pregnant. We described his looks and his information and they still can't figure out who he is. They've set an alarm that's connected to every window, front door and back door and connected cameras outside of the house just in case William breaks in and they'll be able to catch him.

I kinda feel safe now that we told the police... but what if he finds me somewhere else and everything will turn out wrong?

It's winter break and we're out of school for two weeks, I want to stay home for two weeks but I don't know about that. I still feel uneasy at home. Everyday I feel like something is gonna happen.

I haven't told Prince about this.... I'm not ready to. I'll probably tell him after the police catches William so he won't be worried about beating him up.

Prince and I cuddled in my bed while watching a scary movie. Just Sabrina, Prince and I at home and Trey and Mama gone to work.

Sabrina's downstairs cooking dinner, she's been cooking dinner for half an hour.

She's a really slow cooker. But why should I be worried. I ain't eating that mess.

I screamed jumped after a scary face popped up on the screen covering my face with Prince's hand.

Prince laughed, "It's okay. It's just a movie." He said softly.

I sighed, "Prince, why do you wanna watch this? I told you that I wanna watch a comedy movie." I whined.

"You always pick the same movie every time, now it's my turn Sweetcakes." He winked and laughed.

"Oh.. so you gonna start calling me 'Sweetcakes' now." I giggled.

"Yes baby girl." He winked and kissed my cheek.

"So what do you want to do since you don't wanna watch a scary movie." He ran his fingers through my curly hair.

"Watch another movie of course." I giggled grabbing the remote from the night stand.

I sat up in the bed and turned the tv off.

"No, that's boring. I wanna do something that uses action." He slowly sat up and wiggled his eyebrows and bit his lip seductively.

My eyes widened and my eyebrows raised.

What's gotten into him...

I am not gonna let him take my virginity.

He's been really touchy and always kissing me the whole time he's been here.

I've never seen him so horny before.

This is new.

He chuckled, "Not that kind of action. I know what you're thinking. We're too young."

I let out a breath of relief.

"Oh good. Then what action are you talking about?" I chuckled.

He bit bottom lip again and pulled me closer.

"Lip biting... tongue kissing... butt grabbing." He seductively whispers in my ear.

I suddenly feel his hands run against my thighs to my butt and his teeth gently nibbling on the side of my neck.

My skin starts to get hot and I suddenly get kinda horny and wet.

I've never seen this side of Prince before.

"I've been holding this in for so long. I just wanted to wait until we're ready to take a step farther." He gently whispers in my ear while guiding me to lay down.

"Prince we're not having s-"

"I know. That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just teasing ya sweetcakes cause I know you want more." He gently grip my ear lobe with his teeth.

I lowkey do..

He got on top of me, getting me ten times hotter than I was.

"I'm gonna tease you and tease you until we're married and then our first time is gonna be epic from all the teasing. You have to hold it in for probably another five years." I felt his tongue softly stroke in the middle of my neck and his hands gently squeezing my bum.

This is gonna be hard.

I actually want him..

He's too sexy.

I felt his bulge down there, causing my breathing to quicken and give me tingling sensations.

I feel a strong temptation to just grab his....

...I can't I just can't... just wait until you're married Ariel.

"What if it was legal to marry before the age of eighteen." He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

Hell yeah! I'd be pregnant with his baby, not William's.

His hazel green eyes just give me the chills and his lips... oh help me.

If we were standing, then my panties would've dropped already.

I've never seen him this way.

I never knew he was a freaky guy.

"That would've been great." I bit my lip and rested my legs around his waist.

He pressed his lips on mine as we worked our way into a passionate french kiss.

The doorbell sounded through the house and Izzy barking downstairs terribly loud as usual after somebody knocks.

I gotta teach this dog how to be quiet whenever there's someone at the door.

I broke kiss, "I'll get the door." I unwrapped my legs off of him and start to get up.

"No. I want more." He moaned gently putting me down.

"ARIEL CAN YOU GET THE DOOR?! IM TRYING TO COOK!" I heard Sabrina yell from the bottom of the staircase.

Why don't she get the door? She's the closest. I'm busy here.

Prince and I sighed and he got out of my way.

I hopped off the bed and fixed my hair looking through the mirror.

"I'll be back." I told him heading towards the door.

"Hurry back." I hear him before I left.

I quickly walked downstairs and grabbed the kitchen knife off the coffee table that Mama told me to grab just in case William comes in while she's off to work at a daycare.

Mama's not really home that much. She has two jobs, modeling and watching kids at a daycare center. So is Trey, he's so busy making new songs at the studio .

I took deep breaths as I walk close to the front door and held the knife up as I swing the door open.

I stopped myself as I spotted Latoya standing in front of me with tears in her eyes and her hair all over the place.

"Latoya?" I raised an eyebrow and threw the kitchen knife back inside the house.

"What's wrong?" I grew a worried face.

She sighed, "I have to t-talk to you." Her voice shook as she made her way into the house.

I closed the door and locked it while watching her look everywhere in the house.

"It's just Sabrina, Prince and I in this house..." I said.

"Well can I talk to you privately... like in your room?" She asked.

I nodded my head and she start making her way up the stairs and I followed her.

I walked upstairs and into my room to see Latoya sitting on my bed crying and Prince looking puzzled.

"Skipper, can you go downstairs please? Latoya and I need to talk privately." I said softly.

He nodded and slid off the bed.

He walked over to me and grab me by the waist pulling me closer to him.

"Let this be quick please. I don't wanna wait too long." He whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek.

I blushed and he walked out the room closing the door behind him.

I walked over to my bed and sat beside Latoya on the edge of the bed.

I hope nothing serious happened.

"What's wrong?" I asked again.

"Marcus is what's wrong. He broke up with me!" She cried and sobbed in her hands.

"For what?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Because-" she sighed and looked down nervously rubbing her arm, "Because I wouldn't have sex with him after I told him that I'm sick. I was really frustrated about him forcing me to do it with him a lot... I just had enough.." she sped through her words.

My eyes widened taken back.

"Woah. Woah. Woah. What the hell is going on? What's happening?! This is new information!" I said in shock.

She sighed letting a few tears fall down from her face.

"Ariel please don't get mad at me and please don't tell anybody. I'm only telling you because you're my best friend and I trust you and this is personal information... please." She begged and her tears flowing like a river down her face.

"Tell me Toy, I want to help. I won't get mad at you. You're my best friend."

"Well... I knew Marcus for two years and we've gone out since the beginning of school. But- you know- he-" She cried more into her hands and I rubbed her back.

"We were best friends and he's always talking about how William is his big brother and how he wants to be just like William... big and strong. And... you know how you told all of us that William abuses you?" She asked.

I slowly nodded my head.

"Well- Marcus... I mean he doesn't abuse me that much but he is kinda bossy a-and he pressures ya know and he forces me to have...sex with him since the beginning of school and if I don't do what he say... he'll tell William and he's told me what William does... and today I just got tired of Marcus forcing me to have sex and he got angry and he starts beating me up and raping me. I've never seen him so angry at me.."

I gasped in shock and my eyes got watery.

"Please don't tell anyone." She cried.

"I have to Toy. I have to-" I sighed and held my head "My mom and I talked to the police station about William and they're trying to find him. Toy if you want Marcus to stop, then we can report him too."

"No! I can't do that! I love him-"

"Why do you love him?! He's been forcing you to have sex with him and he just fucking abused you and you want him to stay?!"

"Of course I don't want him to stay but he needs a second chance, he'll change. He just wants to be like his brother and I didn't get a chance to tell him that he should not follow William's footsteps and just be himself!"

"Yeah! Like that's gonna happen! He's not gonna change! You know what? William said he was gonna change a few years ago but guess what?! He's still the damn same! Oh and since you said Marcus is following William's footsteps, he'll decide not to change just because his big brother won't! So it's best to put him behind bars!"

"T-this is different for me! I had a relationship with Marcus and I loved him and you never dated William so it's easy for you to be cool with him being behind bars! I can't stand thinking the love of my life behind bars after thinking about our future together, graduating together, getting married, having kids, dying together! I love him!"

Love of her life??

What a waste of good time to be thinking about a future with an abusive guy.

"Yeah, do you think he's thinking about a future with you though?" I crossed my arms.

She nodded her head slowly looking down.

"Well, yeah. He says he loves me everyday and can't wait to make children with me in the future." She shrugged.

"Honey, it sounds like he's just saying that... he doesn't really love you. Abuse and rape isn't love, it's desperation and hate. Don't waste your time on him." I advised.

She looks down in shame.

"And of course he can't wait to have children with you! He wants to have children with you now! He ain't talking bout the future! He wants kids popping out of you now to get you in trouble and make himself look good!" I added.

"I can tell him to change just don't tell the police. I promise he'll change." She said quietly.

"No. He has to stay behind bars with his brother. They're both abusive and rapi-" I stopped my self. "Really bad." I played it off.

She popped her head up and looked at me.

"I heard that. You said both rapists. Didn't you?" She asked squinting her eyes.

I shook my head, "No. I-I just meant Marcus not Will-"

"Ariel it is not time to lie. I know what you look like when you lie... right now is to tell the truth and everything the truth." She said sternly, tears still falling down. "Is William a rapist too?"

I heard footsteps getting closer to my room. I turned to see the door open and Sabrina in her pajama pants and house shoes.

"Dinner is ready." Sabrina spoke.

Latoya sighed, "Answer my question." Her voice shook.

I nodded my head slowly, "Yeah... ever since I was twelve." tears filled my eyes.

"Oh my gosh Ari are you kidding me?! You kept this all a damn secret and didn't dare tell anybody else about this?!" Latoya raised her voice.

"You kept your secret too." I argued.

"Yeah but I wouldn't have kept it for years! We literally had to force you to tell us your secret while I came in telling my damn secret myself!" She yelled.

I sighed of irritation, "It's hard for me to tell anyone when I'm totally disgusted of what he does and doesn't like to talk about it. It's hard for me to tell when my life is gonna end if I do tell someone. I've learned that he murdered a few people and got away with it... Right now, I'm scared because William could come any minute through my window or any window in the house and shoot me and my family because I've told some of you guys that William abused me and he probably knows that I did and probably planning to kill us. So please stop yelling at me just because I had this going on for three years! I kept it all a secret so that we'll be safe and not be killed!"I cried.

I cried in my hands and felt Sabrina sit beside me on my bed and rub my back.

"It's hard for me to tell anyone when I'm pregnant also because everyone will treat me different and be disgusted." I said quietly.

"You're pregnant?!" Latoya shouted.

I looked up at her, "Yes! It's not my fault though! William did it!" I yelled.

"You should've told everybody that he was a abusing you a long time ago and then you wouldn't be pregnant! It is your fault dammit!" Latoya yelled.

"Latoya! Have you heard any word I said?! I couldn't tell!" I screamed.

Latoya huffed and puffed holding her head.

"I-I can't believe this-"

"I'll get abortion I promise and forget that this ever happened. I'll forget that I was ever pregnant at the age of fifteen. Just please don't tell anyone! Everyone will hate me!" I cried.

"Ariel, we've been through this before. You're not getting abortion." Sabrina said.

"I have to and if I don't, everyone will hate me and be disgusted with me. A-and Prince! I can't let Prince know that William got me pregnant! It's just too much for him!"

"You're still not getting it, Mama said you're not getting it and the Doctor said you're not getting it because Mama said no. How many times do we have to tell you?!" Sabrina threw her arms up.

I sighed loudly.

"You're planning to get abortion too?" Latoya said heartbroken.

I slowly nodded my head and looked down.

"You can't do that to a baby. They deserve to live."  Her voice shook.

"I know it deserves to live, but I can't have a baby! I-I'm still in high school and I'm popular in public and they can't know that I'm pregnant." I sighed. "They're gonna look at me differently and make rumors about me. I can't bring a baby to this world when I know damn well I'm gonna hate the baby so much because it's gonna remind me of the bad memories I had."

"Then put it up for adoption." They said at the same time.

I sighed and crossed my arms.

"And I would never treat you differently and hate you because you're pregnant. You're still gonna be my best friend. I'll be there for you." Latoya put a hand on my back.

Sabrina nodded, "Me neither. I'm your big sister and I'm supposed to be there for you no matter what and I'm doing my job. And if anyone hates you because you got raped and now you're pregnant, fuck them, they're fake."

"Thanks." I looked down "But please don't tell anybody else until they notice. If I go through the whole pregnancy wearing huge clothes and nobody notices, don't tell them that I was ever pregnant. We'll put the baby up for adoption or just hide the baby somewhere if no one wants it."

I heard Sabrina chuckle softly, "Hide it? No let's just say Mama adopted a baby and just say that it's your baby brother or sister." She suggested.

Latoya sighed, "Is that why you were really sick a few months ago and kept throwing up?" She asked.

I nodded my head, "I didn't know when I was sick though. I found out after I got rushed to the hospital.."

"Well, I'm kinda getting sick too. I puked twice today and yesterday." Latoya looked down.

Sabrina and I gasped.

My best friend better not be pregnant.

I fucking swear...
