#Chapter12

CHASE—

'Shhh Sofia, why are you crying?'

'For you.'

'Don't, I'm ok, really.'

'Why does daddy do that to you?'

'I don't know. But whatever he tells you about me, don't believe it ok?'

She nodded, her eyes bloodshot. It hurt to look at her like this. I wanted to hold her, to tell her that it wouldn't happen again. But I didn't want to give her empty promises, not until I knew I could keep my word.

She panicked at the sound of his footsteps coming closer to the closet. Hell, I panicked too. The only thing I could think of doing was to pull her behind me and hope for the best.

I could feel her little fingers clutching to the back of my shirt, it made my stomach sink to see her this scared and I knew that she wasn't scared for her, she was scared for me.
