Delano

Cassia was astonished to see her son there, she had no idea who that girl was and yet she doesn't saw her as a stranger

"Atticus, I have found him," Cassia called Atticus who was searching for Arlo. "Come by the beach," Atticus ran towards the beach, he had seen Cassia standing on the beach, He went there

"Where is he?" He asked. Cassia pointed to Arlo, Atticus could see his son sleeping, he looked calm and beautiful and soon the thoughts hovered on his mind when he noticed a girl lying with his son. "Who is this girl? I should not let my son get any closer to that girl," he quickly grabbed Arlo's hand and picked him up, Arlo opened his eyes. "Mama?" He said as he saw his mother, hugging him and kissing him. Briggita was sleeping still, Arlo saw her and he thought of her as an angel. "Who is this girl?" Cassia asked. "I don't know and I don't care, we should go home," Atticus replied.

"What about this girl? Shouldn't we take this girl with us?"

"No, she's a complete stranger, she could be a criminal or anything, she could be dangerous,"

"How could a girl her age be a criminal?"

"Haven't you heard the news? There are some guys with kids who use kids to come inside the house, they just butcher the whole family and then steal everything, I don't wanna risk, I will not let this girl come into my house," Arlo said. "But father, she's my friend, I want her to come with me," Arlo said

"No means no, we are going home, let this girl stay here, if she's not a criminal then she will go from wherever she came," Atticus said as he held Arlo's hand and sauntered to his house with Cassia. Arlo turned around, he could see Brigitta waking up, she stood up and saw them fading away in the dark, she craved to stop them but could not build up the courage to do so, they were all gone now, all the option left for Briggita was to go back to her house and witness Aida ruining her family, the cool night air coming from the ocean lapped at her face, she dawdled to her house with her doleful face being down, she saw her house, it was nothing different as before but this time she saw her house with dejection, she stood there and stared the dark neighborhood, her house being the same, the front porch with its four white columns, she saw Delano's house, Delano was eight years older than her and used to bully her at her school. He was the neighbor of Briggita, She remembered the day when she stopped going to her older school. The sky was shimmering and the sun was out, the day was nice and warm, and yesterday night it rained. The day was so rainy that it ruined it whole day for Brigitta, it was a holiday and she wanted to play outside but now it's Monday and she abhorred the sun that it came out when it was Monday and now she knew that she had to go to the school, she walked to the school, the day was going on just as regular. "Hi Brigitta," she heard her friends, they came to her. "Hi." She said, She walked to her classroom and the day almost passed just like it should, the time was almost for all the students to go to their houses but Brigitta had to go to the washroom. "You guys go ahead, I will catch with you guys soon," Brigitta said to her friends, She walked to the washroom and did what she had to and then walked outside as she saw Delano and his friends standing in front of her. "What do you want?" She asked, all she could see was them laughing and nothing else, there was no one to help her. "Step aside and let me go!" She said, Delano, clutched her arm and pushed her inside the washroom, and punched her in the face. She could see her blood flowing from her mouth. Briggita fell on the floor and cried because of pain as she took her head up and stared at their eyes, they all were laughing like bastards, and then she saw them opening their pants. "Suck it bitch!" Delano shouted at her

"Wha----- what do you mean?"

"Are you deaf? Suck it like a whore!" 

"Wha---- what? are you out of your mind?"

"Do what we are telling you or we are gonna kill you!"

"No, please don't do this, I am begging you,"

"Look at me, do you think that I would care anything about that? Now would you suck it or we beat the crap out of you?" Briggita could not understand anything, she had a hope that someone would help her but she knew in the deepest corner of her heart that she's helpless and no one's gonna help her. "So you want me to force you?" Delano and his friends walked near her, she quickly stood up and ran behind towards the wall but all she could meet was the dead-end, Delano and his friends came closer to her and made her sit down on the floor...

Delano shut his pants up, Brigitta was weeping, she tried to stand up but she had lost all hope. "Hey, shut your whore mouth and go to your house just like you were going to, it was nothing you hear me? If you tell anyone about it then we are gonna kill you!" Delano said as he grabbed her face. "But she sucked it so well, didn't she?" One of the friends said. "Yes it was good," they all started laughing as they walked out of the washroom, as soon as they left the washroom Brigitta stood up and washed her mouth and face but still she could not feel any clean, she spewed because of the ugly incident that happened with her just before some moments, she careened out of the washroom but soon she turned around and dashed to the washroom and spewed again, she left the washroom after washing her face, she faltered and everything but somehow she reached her classroom but no one was there, everyone had already gone their home, she somehow managed to walk to her house. "I can't tell anyone about this? What if everyone feels dirty to be around me? I don't want it," she thought as she entered her house, she washed her bruises. Brigitta stood there in the dark neighborhood, she remembered everything that Delano had done, he was always used to make her in pain but she knew that Delano had sexually assaulted her and it was far from any pain, she felt the urge to kill him but she controlled herself. "Everyone's the same, no one helps me, they all are evil!" The thought hovered her mind
