Benedict Imagines.

Alyssa lies.

(This will have triggers. I was abused by my real mother and father but someone noticed what was going on and helped me and my brothers get into living with my grandparents. Some kids are not that lucky...

If you know someone that is going through this, dont hide it or let it go. Tell someone! I am here if you wish to have some one to talk too...)

I stood at the kitchen table going through the bills and mail that had come in today. I heard the front door open and looked up to see my little girl Ally walk in with her father Benedict. Ben and I had been married only a year when I found out I was preagnat with little Ally. She is a smart child, friendly and always wanting to help everybody. Ben and I couldnt ask for a better child. Ally rushed over to me and hugged me. " Hello babygirl! How was school today?" I asked as Ben walked over and kissed my cheek.

At me asking about school, our daughter's face fell. I took notice of this. " Ally? sweetie? What's wrong?" I asked as I pulled her into my lap.

Ben placed his tea cup full of Earl Grey onto the table and sat next to me, also wanting to know what was wrong with our sweet little girl.

" You can tell us sweetie" Ben said as he scooted his chair closer to my side. " Ally took a deep breath, " Marie lies mummy..." she said quietly. I stared at her for a moment, trying to process what she was telling me. " Is Marie a new friend of yours at school hun?" I asked and she nodded.

I was just about to brush it off at first but some thing in my daughters eyes made me ask what Marie lies about.

Marie lies to the teacher, Marie lies to the classroom, Marie lies everyday at school as she tries to cover up her bruise mummy..."

I sucked in a deep breath and looked at Ben. His eyes were just as wide as mine. Our daughter was friends with a abused child. All I could think was why hadnt anyone helped this poor girl Marie!!

Ben looked at me as I was trying to calm myself. I was abused by my mother and father as a young child, Only Ben knows anything about that. I never wanted Ally to know anything about that. She dose not even know my side of the family and I will forever till my dying day keep her away from that.

" Ally why dont you go pick out a disney movie and we will order pizza for dinner tonight. Mummy and I will take care of this little problem Marie is having" Ben said as Ally nodded and looked up at me. I gave her a kiss on her forehead and let her slide off my lap.

Ally ran to the living room to pick out a movie, while Ben pulled me into a huge hug. " I never wanted her to know anything about that Ben." He nodded and kissed my forehead, " I know darling, I didnt want her to either but she seems to still be confused on the matter. You call child services and Ill call the pizza place"

Later on that night I was in Ally's room, tucking her in for the night. Making sure she had her stuffed Loki that she got from her Uncle Tom and her nightlight was on. " Mummy can you say my prayers with me?" she asked and I smiled at her. I nodded and she placed her hands in prayer.

Ben came in and smiled. He kneeled down next to me as Ally began to say her prayers for the night.

"God bless my mum and dad, Uncle Tom, grandma and grandpa and my new friend Marie cos I know she needs you bad..."

I covered my mouth to hold back my sob. All I can think about it that poor little girl and what she must suffer through. I call social services earlier this after noon and they told me that they would send someone over to the home to see what was going on. Ben gripped my hand and ran his thumb over the top of my hand.

I quickly wiped away my tears as Ally finished, " Good job Ally Bear, now its time to get some sleep!" I said as I kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. " Daddy? Is mummy ok?" Ally asked as Ben kissed her head. " She's ok hun, get some rest mummy and I will walk you to school tommorrow. Sound good?" he asked and little Ally smiled happily! " Yes sir! You can meet Marie!" Ben nodded and walked out of the room.

Ben walked into our bedroom to see me sitting in the middle of the floor. He closed the door and sat next to me, " Darling, it will be ok. Child service know what to do" he said as he pulled me into his warm embrace. We climbed into bed. Ben fell alseep instantly holding me to his chest. Me however had the worst night of sleep in years, trying to think of a way to calm my daughters fears.

Ben and I walked with Ally to her school the next morning and when we got there, a lot of people looked so sad. " Mummy I want you and daddy to meet Marie, but I cant find her" Ally said. " Hi Mrs. Palmer! Do you know where Marie is?" Ally asked as Ben picked her up and placed her on his hip.

Mrs. Palmer wiped away a tear, " Um, Mrs. Cumberbatch? May I speak to you in private?" I looked at Ben for a moment and shrugged. I followed her to a small corner where three other parents and some teachers stood.

" What's going on?" I asked as the teacher placed a hand on my shoulder. " Marie is gone Mrs. Cumberbatch. She was killed over the weekend by her father..." I covered my mouth and  I felt the tears roll down my face.

" Daddy why dose everyone look so sad?" I heard Ally ask. I didnt hear Ben's answer. How am I to break this to my daughter?! I gulpped and said that I was going to take Ally home. She dose not need to be here when I tell her. Mrs. Palmer nodded and pulled me into a hug.

I sighed and cleaned up my face before I walked to my husband and daughter. " What's going on?" Ben asked me and I bit my lower lip trying my best to hold back my tears. " Mummy I wanted you to meet Marie. Do you know where she is?" the lump in my throat grew bigger ewith every question that she asked, till I felt the tears rool down my face and I told her that Marie wouldnt be in school today.

Ally looked confused and so did Ben.

I sighed and spoke softly to my little Ally.

" Beucase she dosnt lie anymore in school, she dosnt lie any more to the teachers. Marie lies with Jesus...." I said and Ben gasped.

Ally stared at me for a moment and I saw tears fill her eyes. Ally turns her head to Ben, " Why daddy oh daddy tell me why?!" she cried out and Ben held her to his chest as she bawled her little eyes out.

Ben had tears falling as well. We walked home and just let Ally cry on our shoulders...

We attended Marie funeral. Ally had brought her stuffed Loki doll with her, as Ben and I gave our condalence to Marie grandmother; Ally walked over to the small coffin with tears in her eyes.

" You are my best friend Marie. I am going to miss you. I want you to have this" Ally said as she placed the stuffed Loki on top of the coffin. " He will protect you and he is the best snuggle toy I have. I want you to have it in heaven" she contiued.

Ben swallowed thickly and walked over to our daughter, " She is in a better place babe. You will always have her in your heart" he said as she looked up at him. He kissed her head and all I could do was stare at my little family.

If you need someone to talk too, hit me up. This was really hard for me to write becuase my eyes were so blurred from the tears. If you know this is happening to someone. Tell the somone...
