There's a quick knock on the door and we all head down the stairs. Xander opens the door and there are a few police officers.

"He's upstairs in the first room on the right," Xander says. The two officers go past us heading up the stairs.

We look back out the door to see a women officer. She has a kind smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Madison. I'm going to need a statement from each of you if you don't mind. We will have to go to the station," she says looking at all of us.

I hear fast footsteps come down the stairs and look to see the two cops and Cameron.

He keeps a blank face as they take him out. He meets my gaze gives me a smirk causing an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

They push him out the door heading down the driveway to the cop car. They start to put him in the cop car but before he gets in he looks directly at me then gives me a wink. I instantly tense like a deer caught in headlights. What was that?

"Emilia?" Xander says gently putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh yeah right," I say following him as I get in his car.

----

We enter the station and the lady at the desk instructs us to take a seat in the waiting room.

We see a woman walk over to us and she gives us a small smile.

"Hi, I'm Mrs. Williams. We'll be taking your accounts of what happened," she says. She looks over at me.

"I'll speak with you first Emilia," She says. I stand up a slowly and follow her down a hall. I look back and see encouraging smiles on there faces. I turn back around and see her holding the door open. I enter in and take a seat in one of the chairs.

"Okay, let's get started, Emilia. I understand a little of what happened and if it's too uncomfortable to talk about we can wait," She says with sympathy in her eyes.

I nod my head before speaking.

"I-I...U-Uh...H-he..." I stopped my heart rate picking up as the scene replays in my head. I don't want to think about it at all. I can still feel his grimy hands on me. I shuffle uncomfortably wrapping my arms around my stomach.

I can't speak clearly. I just want to forget about it. I want him to leave me alone. I just want to be left alone.

I feel her hand on my shoulder and look up to see sympathy swimming in her eyes.

"Honey, it's okay now. You're safe. You can take all the time you need," She says rubbing my shoulder in a comforting manner. A small smile tugs at my lips, calming me slightly.

"I...He t-tried...tried t-to...r-rape me," I start, tears forming in my eyes. She gives me an encouraging smile to continue.

"He...grab me and I t-told him to let go but he just...w-wouldn't stop. He
c-covered my mouth a-and...took me to my r-room. I-I was too...weak. I wasn't...strong enough, I wasn't-" I stopped as tears fall down my face.

"Honey, this is not your fault, okay? None of this is your fault," She says with finality in her voice. I look away from her gaze and slowly nod my head.

"Have you ever seen him before?" She asks me while writting on a notebook.

"H-He's my brothers friend," I say. She looks a little shocked with a confused frown etched on her face.

"Is this the only time he's ever
...done this. Has he ever indicated that he would want to be with you... intimately?" She asks hesitantly.

"N-No, I-I've only seen him once," She nods her head writing down some more.

"Is there anything else you would like to tell me, Emilia?" She asks me.

Yes.

"N-No," I say looking down as I fiddle with my fingers.

"Alright. If you ever need anything, here's my card," She says closing her notebook and hands me a small card.

"Here is my card if you ever need anything," she says before standing. I look at the card and see her name, number, and email on it. I nod my head and follow her as she steps outside.

I follow her back to the waiting room and see everyone still there

"You guys will have to wait a little bit till we get everything together then you'll be free to leave," She says before heading back down the hall.

We wait in complete silence. No one speaks a word, not really knowing what to say.

We sit there for a moment before Xander grabs my wrist tugging me to the side. We stand out of ear shot from the rest of the group. I give him a confused look.

"What wrong?" I question.

"Did you tell them?" He asked vaguely.

"Tell them what...?" I trail off.

"About your father and brother?" He asks in an almost duh tone. I stand shocked.

"No..." I say. His face turns into a frown.

"Emilia, you have to tell someone. I will not let you go back to the house ever. If you don't tell someone I will," He says. I look up at him to see if he is serious or not. He's serious?

I almost scoff at his ignorance.

I feel anger rise in me at his words. I trusted him not to tell anyone. I trusted him enough to tell him. I thought I could trust him.

I look up at him with fury. Who does he think he is? He doesn't have the right to tell anyone about my secret I told him.

"Wha-"

"You have no right to tell my secret, it's my story to tell when I want to tell it!" I seethed with anger.

"Emilia, I just want to help y-"

"I don't want your help! Just stay away from me!" I say walking in the opposite direction. I hear him yell my name but I ignore it. I see a restroom and push through the door. I go to the sink and look at myself in the mirror.

Tears stream down my face and my eyes look puffy red. I glance at my neck to see a bruised ring around it. I lightly touch it the already dark purple colored bruise. I wipe my teary face with the back of my hand.

I don't need him. I don't need anyone. I've been on my own for years, been torn down for years and never built back up and I have survived this long by myself haven't I?

I splash some cold water on my face to lessen my red face. I dry it with paper towels and head out the door.

I don't need anyone.

I walk back to the waiting room. I see Xander's back in there. I move to the opposite side. They give me confused looks but Xander just looked angry.

Why is he upset? I should be the one upset not him. I don't care anymore. He didn't seem to care enough to keep my secret. He said he would blab it out if I didn't.

I look over when I hear the sound of heals clicking and see the same women I talked to walking down the hall towards us.

"Hello, we need to speak with you guys before you leave," We all look at each other before standing up and follow her down the hall.

We enter the little meeting room and she ushers for us to take a seat at the round table.

"I wanted to let you guys know that the guy was realeased," she says with slight disgust.

"What do you mean?" Xander says abrubtly standing up with anger lacing his voice.

"Xander cool it," Tony snaps giving him a look. He slowly sits back down with clenched fists.

"I don't really like it either but he says you...wanted it and you didn't want your father or brother to know about your guy's...relationship," she says in distraught.

"But thats not true! She was screaming bloody murder!" Xander practically yells.

I feel tears in my eyes. He can come after me still.

"I'm sorry, but it's a 'he said she said'. I'm sorry Emilia," She says with sympathy in her eyes but tries to be professional.

"If you ever need me do not hesitate to call me, okay?" She says.

"This is bullshit!" Xander says storming out of the room. I feel tears stream down my face.

"You guys are free to go," she says in a low voice.

Clara walks out with me with giving me sad eyes.

"Are you alright Emilia?" She asks me. I nod my head at her giving her a forced smile. I look over and see Xander talking on his phone with an angry look in his eyes. I look back to Clara.

"Y-Yeah, I think so. I'll see you later Clara," I say heading towards Xander.

"Bye Emilia," She says.

I get over to Xander and he is still talking on the phone. I get in the car and see him hang up his phone. He runs his hands through his hair in frustration before getting in the car.

He starts the car pulling out of the police station. His grip on the steering wheel causes his knuckles to slightly turn white. I don't say anything not wanting him more angry. I just look out the window wanting to avoid this awkward silence.

Even though it was only 10 minutes it felt like hours before we got home. I exit the car silently walking up to Carols house. I enter to see her get up from yhe couch and approach me.

"Emilia, Amanda told me what happened. I'm so sorry dear. Are you alright?" She asks giving me a hug.

"I'll be fine, I'm tired so I'm gonna go to bed," I say heading towards the hall.

"Alright sweety, goodnight," she says. I know she proably want to know more but I just need to be alone right now.

I enter my room going to my closet and grab a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I change into them and flop on the bed.

What am I going to do?
