CHAPTER 1

It seemed strange to me that Danny and I had left things the way they were. I’d seen enough movies to know that, normally, when a girl and a boy like each other, something happens. Nothing at all had happened between Danny and me, though. We had both admitted to liking each other and then nothing more had come of it. Did I want something to come of it? Was that why I couldn’t get the conversation to stop replaying in my mind?
In truth, I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I liked Danny. I liked him a lot. He was the only person in my life who was actually supporting me. He was the only person who believed that I was telling the truth. He had stood by my side, even though it had meant abuse being hurled his way, so how could I not respect a guy like that?
There was too much going on, though. How could I put any thoughts into what might happen between Danny and me, when I had the court case looming ahead of me? I could feel it pressing into each day, even when it was still weeks off, and pressing into me with a heavy force that was nearly impossible to ignore. I tried to push it to the back of my mind. After all, until the actual day there was nothing I could do.
My hopes that Sam would tell the truth had been totally shattered. I’d given him a day to tell the police the truth about what he did, but he’d called my bluff. I wasn’t willing to send the picture I had of him around school and he had figured that out. He knew that even with what he did to me, I wasn’t the kind of person who could do that.
I’d thought about trying to talk to him again, but I realized that would probably look bad with the courts if they found out about it. I’d seen rape cases in the news before. The victim was normally always scared of the person who attacked them. I wasn’t afraid of Sam. I think it was because I couldn’t actually remember the attack happening. There were no images in my mind of what he looked like as a monster.
That didn’t stop me from being angry though. I was angry that I couldn’t remember it happening. I was angry that he’d taken away a night of my life to do what he pleased with. It hurt. It hurt to think of the things he did to me. It hurt to know that I’d never fully know what my own body had been through. I wasn’t afraid, though, and I thought, I think, that was good thing.
My father had returned to his stony silence around me. He’d made it clear in our last argument that he wanted me to drop the charges. I’d got the distinct impression that Sam’s family had been to speak with my father at the church, because he seemed to know a great deal about what Sam stood to lose if he was found guilty.
I didn’t mind the silence. I’d grown used to it in the weeks that had passed since I’d told him about my attack. It had hurt at first. It had been a pain which was birthed in my heart and forced its way out like shrapnel with every beat that followed, but that pain was gone now. My father could believe whoever he wanted. It didn’t matter to me. I didn’t need him to believe me. I just needed the court to.
I’d been hoping secretly and quietly that perhaps Poppy would change her mind. I’d been hoping that perhaps I’d hear from her as the court case got closer, but that hope was slowly dying with each day that passed. It was hard to believe that she really wasn’t going to help. It was hard to believe that she’d gone through what I had gone through and she didn’t want to make sure that it didn’t happen again.
