We made it home and my brothers brought all my bags in. Since dinner wasn't in another hour I decided to put all my clothes up while putting my clothes up I decided to call Ophelia ever since that phone call I thought about it alot.

I wasn't ready to see him, he was never there for me and Iola I went through so much to just forget about the whole problem. He can't just come back for me and her if he ever cared he wouldn't leave us in the first place. It hurts. I felt things for him, first sight, first kiss, first hug, first date, first time, even had my first child with him. Literally he was my first everything. But first everything don't last.

I called ophelia hoping she would answer me and she did.

(Their conversation)

D- "Hey Fela"

F- "Hey Lia"

D- "Look, I wanted to sorry about yesterday. I'm not ready to see him and I was hoping out of all people you would understand. I'm just not ready"

F- "Yes Lia I do understand but it's more to his story and I'm saying this so you can give him a second chance"

D- "I will but now it's not the right time I'm not ready to face him"

F- "I understand Lia but when you are ready talk to him"

D- "I will Fela, but can I ask you a question"

F- "Yes?"

D- "Did he see her?"

F- "No she was at daycare. But he did ask for her, I didn't tell him she was living with me"

D- "Oh okay. How is she? I miss her"

F- "She's okay Lia, she's one happy little baby"

We both laughed. Then the moment became silent.

She spoke again

"Lia when you are able to come see us you are in a safe home with your brothers and father, you should able to tell them, they are not like Percy"

D- "I'm just scared Fela, what if they won't accept her, what if they try to take her away just like Percy almost did. I can't be to sure of things I can't just trust them yet. I'm grateful for them taking me in, I just don't want to get to attach Fela I don't want to get hurt anymore. I'm just tired"

F- "I know Lia but don't be scared your the most strongest girl I know. You haven't gave up yet. Do it for Iola they can love her and protect her. With them you won't ever have to go through that situation again"

D- "I will I just need time"

F- "I'm always here, and when the time is right I will be there when you tell them"

D- "Thank you Fela, your the best. I love you"

F- "I love you too, you been my girl since day one. I'm always here for you. I'd do anything for you and Iola"

I smiled at the thought of her being there for me and me being there for her.

That's what I love about Ophelia since we first met she's a very kind girl whenever your down she will not stop trying to make you feel better even when you want to be alone.

She was the first person to know about the abuse, she eyed my every move I don't know how she did it but she did. Weeks later, she confronted me about it, a lie couldn't past her, so I told her everything about the first sexual touch to the abusing. She didn't judge me she helped me out when I needed her, she used to fight so she would help clean up my wounds, and that's also how I knew about the fight clubs.

I didn't think I could do this alone. Especially, with my mom dying, Issac leaving, and Percy tearing me apart every single day. With her by side I had little possibility that I could do it.

We talk for a while until there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I yelled out. Leo poke his head in

"It's time for dinner" he spoke out

"Okay I'm coming" I said.

D- "Hey Fela I will call you later"

F- "Okay Lia. Talk to you later"

I hung up and went downstairs. I didn't see my father nor Mateo. I sit between the twins, since the food was already there I was about to go in, when my dad and Mateo walk in.

"Sorry we are late had alot of to catch up" dad said looking at of us smiling

We started eating our food, it was a little awkward nobody was talking, all you could hear was our spoons clinging to the bowl.

"Dahlia you are going to meet the rest of the family next week" dad spoke up, breaking the silence.

I nodded

"Verbally answer" he said looking at me with a stern look

"Uh okay, may I be excuse I'm full" I said, still having a half of bowl, but eating more would make me just throw it up.

"But you barely ate anything today can't you eat just a little more" Leo said with a soft expression

So I did. I took a few more bites

"Now can I be excuse" Leo wasn't still satisfied but he let me go. I said good night to all of them, they all said it back except of my two least favorite brothers they still had there hard glares.

I went up to my room and got ready for bed, I brush my teeth, wash my face and got in my new PJs I brought today. Putting my phone on the charger, I got under my covers and layed down thinking about everything that has happened in my life. I didn't think about it for long.

Closing my eyes and letting the slumber of sleep hitting me.
