“Mr. Green asked me to stay after class, as you know. I was already scared because I know what he was capable of but he is my teacher, I can’t say no when he asks me to stay.  When we were alone… he came closer… I asked him to leave me alone, but he just grinned. He… he… hurt me. He… raped me.” The last part Tina said softly. “Again…” She whispered the last part.

Bette was shocked. That asshole raped her girlfriend?! Multiple times?! He was fucking dead, he was just fucking dead!

“What?! I am going to fucking kill him!” She exclaimed.

“Please just hold me. I need you. I need you, Bette.” Tina begged Bette. This wasn’t everything, there was more.

Bette closed her strong arms a little tighter around the blonde and sighed. It was obvious that Tina really needed her and she was determent to give Tina all the support she could.

“So, it wasn’t the first time?” Bette asked, wanting to check if she heard it correctly.

Tina closed her eyes and swallowed.  “No, he has done it before… That was why I was so scared. I already knew what was coming but I didn’t know what I could do. I didn’t dare to tell anyone. I felt that in some way it was my fault. It hurts so much, Bette.” Tina sobbed. Bette felt the anger building inside of her but decided to try to calm down.

“Shh, it’s never going to happen again. Do you hear me? It is never going to happen again. I won’t let it. I will be there for you; baby and you have to know this isn’t your fault. This can never be your fault. Can you tell me what you remember? What happened the first time? I read that talking about it can help.”

Tina got a little closer to Bette.

“You will think I’m disgusting.” Tina said, silently crying.

“I will never think you are disgusting. You didn’t want it. You didn’t ask for this.” Bette said. “You can tell me, I won’t be angry. If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to. I just want to help and maybe if you tell me, you’ll feel a little better.”
