It was in the late afternoon that I decided to finally visit my father. Colton was pretty persistent despite reassuring him countless times.
I figured I had to tell him the truth why Nile and I were cool about it now. I didn’t tell him exactly how Jacob almost raped me. I just told him that he came to me in my room and attempted to take me again. Nile and his men came to my rescue just in the nick of time.
Colton sighed in relief at that although he wondered why it took time for me to tell him the news. I had to think of an answer and I was almost unable to lie to him because I rarely did to him. And this was one of those times.
I had to. It was painful for me and traumatizing. It was difficult for me to simply say it. One day, if I am able to, I’m sure Colton would understand my predicament.
