Lena

I started shaking and crying and pulling my arms away.

"Lena?"

I screamed.

"Alex! Help!"Jack yelled.

Alex came running in and stopped.

"What happened!?"

"I don't know!"

"Lena!? Sweetheart what's going on?"

I just rocked back and forth.

"Baby? Whats wrong?"

I opened my mouth but only a strangled cry came out.

"Lena? Come on Darling what's wrong?"

I burrowed my head into my arms and cried.I don't know why I'm having this attack but it's the worst I've had in a long time.

Alex sat down and pulled me onto his lap.I fought against him for a moment but just stopped.

Jack started rubbing my back.Zack and Rian joined us in my bunk.

I finally calmed down enough that I could talk.

"I-I-I a-a-am so so so s-sorry."

"Lena.Baby what's wrong?"Alex asked.

I looked over at Jack then to Zack and Rian. Alex understood and asked them to leave. They left and he looked at me.

"When Jack grabbed my arm, it....it....it brought back memories that I try to forget.He didn't hurt me.It just reminded me of something."

"Of what Lena.I want to know."

I want to tell him but I'm scared. What will he think?

"My....dad."

"What do you mean?"

"He used to do that alot.But he would leave bruises...."

"You were physically abused!?"

"And verbally. By my mom."

"Lena! Why didn't you say something?"

"I was scared Alex.I didn't know what you would think."

"I don't think any different of you.Your still my daughter Lena."

"I know."

"I love you."

"I love you too Dad."
