people at school to know what was going on. They pick on me bad enough now. Imagine if they knew that was going on too?” she said.
    “So why last night?” Dylan asked.
    “He said he was going to rape me. He said he wanted to make me pregnant so he could continue to abuse my children” she said with more tears slipping down her cheeks.
    “Fucking hell and I thought my family was fucked up” Dylan said in shock shaking his head slowly.
    Chelsea couldn’t help but snort out a laugh.
    “He knew where my Mum was the whole time.” Chelsea said.
    Dylan looked at her and shook his head.
    “Where was she?” he asked
    “In jail. She went to jail for him. He was dealing drugs and got caught, she took the blame, said they were her drugs, she did ten  years” Chelsea explained.
    “Fuck me. So how did you find that out?” Dylan asked.
    “Last night after he went to the hospital he told the police my Mum’s number and Mason’s Dad has a friend who is a cop and they put my Mum in touch with Mason’s Dad” she said.
    Dylan frowned and climbed onto his knees leaning in closer to her.
    “Wait a minute. Mason’s Dad? How did he know you shot your Dad?” Dylan asked.
    The thought of Carl being referred to as her Dad made her shudder. She sighed again.
    “After I shot my d.. Carl, I was running scared and literally ran into Mason. He took me into his house and I blurted out everything to him and his Dad” she said.
    Dylan sat back on his heels looking like he had just been punched in the stomach.
    “You told Mason Knox, but you couldn’t come here and tell me?” he said.
    It hurt Chelsea to see the hurt on his face.
    “I didn’t do it on purpose, it just happened that way. I wasn’t running anywhere in particular and if I hadn’t run into Mason I probably would have come here eventually when the adrenalin wore off” she tried to explain.
    Dylan didn’t say anything.
    “You better go” Dylan said quietly standing.
    Chelsea felt the sting of rejection hit her in the stomach as she stood nodding her head.
    “Dylan. I’m sorry that I hurt you. I didn’t want to do that. That’s why I came here now to explain what was going on” she said reaching out for his hand.
    Dylan snatched his hand away and Chelsea sucked in a sharp breath as the rejection punched her again.  Dylan turned and stared into her eyes.
    “So did you see your Mum?” Dylan asked still frowning.
    Chelsea nodded fighting to keep her tears at bay.
    “Did you stay with her last night?” Dylan asked.
    Chelsea dropped her eyes and shook her head. She heard Dylan groan.
    “Where did you stay then?” he asked.
    Chelsea looked up at him, his face was red and his blonde hair hung over his brown eyes that had darkened with anger.
    “Dylan please don’t do this. You are my best friend. I’m sorry I didn’t come here. I was so scared and everything happened so quickly” she said.
    “Did you fuck him?” Dylan spat.
    “Who? Mason? What the hell Dylan? I just told you about the shit my own fucking father did to me, do you think I felt like a quick romp after that?” she shouted.
    Dylan dropped his head and balled his hands into fists before releasing them. Chelsea watched as emotions flooded his face.
    “You’re right, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. Chelsea I hate that you’re d.. Carl did that stuff to you. He is an arsehole for putting you through that and I wish the bullet had killed him. I am hurt that you couldn’t come and tell me even before it got to this point. I don’t understand. But I will try” Dylan said.
    Chelsea nodded as tears dripped down her cheeks and chin, hitting her new shirt.
    “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner” she said with a shake of her head.
    Dylan suddenly grasped her and pulled her into his chest. Soon Chelsea’s silent tears turned into gut wrenching sobs that shook her whole body. Dylan held her tight until her tears had begun to ease and her sobs were nothing more than the
