Monica was also hard hit with it all. Her best friend was in so much pain and it was hard for her to watch. She listened as the grown-ups talked, without uttering so much as a word. Tim had phoned her last night, and it had taken her a while to calm down enough to go over to her parents’ house. Shocked, she heard the story they had just told Aldrich. She had always known what her parents did, but never thought they would sink as low as to sell her. It sounded like a storyline from a book, not real life. How was it possible for parents to be like this? No wonder Anabella refused to take part in it.
Will she ever heal as a person? After last night’s traumatic experience, will she ever be the same?
She knew enough about her home life―that it was bad―but what happened to her was the extreme; her friend had paid the price. Raped or not, she had still paid the price. Anger welled up within as tears streamed down her face unhindered, her heart aching for her best friend.
