I finally went upstairs and knocked on my little princess's door.
"You got a minute?"
"Hi daddy." I know she was pissed at me but my girl was still sweet to her old man.
"Baby, why didn't you tell me the kids at school were bothering you?" She started pulling at her comforter and avoiding my eyes.
"Caitie bear?"
"I don't know daddy, I thought I could take care of it myself. I didn't want to make a big deal about it"
"Did any of them ever put their hands on you?"
"No daddy I promise, I would've told you or mom."
"Okay then, who did you tell?"
"I told the teacher but she said it was nothing that they were just playing around."
"You want to tell daddy what they were saying to you?" I sat on her bed and hugged her shoulder. It fucked with my head that this had been going on and I knew nothing about it, that shit was scary.
