Chapter 266: How Will I Ever Tell Him?

I don't know what the f*ck I'm supposed to be doing. I need Aurora, but she's an ocean away. I need to say the words but I can't. I don't know how to tell them. Aurora. Cameron. My brother, Nathan. Jarrod. I don't know how to tell him.

I don't know how to say the word. R... I can't even say the word in my head.

How will I ever tell him? Tell him that I am broken beyond repair?

That my body is tainted by another man's touch.

"I was raped," I say it out loud to the empty room for the first time.

"I was raped," I say it louder this time.

"I was raped," I shout out before crumpling down onto the ground in tears.

I'm surprised when arms surround me moments later. They're firm and comforting. They are familiar.

"Shh Lou."

Cameron is gentle with me, protective like a brother. He lifts me into his arms before putting me into my bed. He sits there with me allowing me to cling to him.

"It's okay, Tallulah."
