CHAPTER 1

Clearwater Florida ...

Several Years Earlier

"Ow Dennis you're hurting me", Unique cried in pain. However, her suppresser ignored her cries and continued ravishing through her privates with his tongue and finger. She was only 11 but she knew what was happening wasn't supposed to, she knew her mother's boyfriends 14-year-old son Dennis wasn't supposed to be touching and doing the things he was to her. It started a few weeks ago when her and her mother moved in with them. At first he befriended her and treated her like his little sister, but then the touching begun followed by the kissing, and now she was being invaded by him on a daily basis. He became so violent at times he would hit her and tell her how their parents would never believe her if she said anything. Not to mention if she did they would kick them out and they'd be homeless like they were before. That statement was enough for Unique to remain silent, even if the pain she was enduring was unbearable. Once he finished feasting on her innocence he stood over her like she was his sole possession and wiped his mouth. Unique looked up in horror, because Dennis was so ugly. He had buck teeth with fat lips and this huge mole on his nose that always terrified her. "Now remember what I said would happen if you said anything", he warned. Unique stayed quiet out of fear but he snatched her by the hair, "Did you just hear what the fuck I said! He snapped wickedly. "Yes ... Yes Dennis I won't say anything. His wicked look turned into a smile," Good, see you later sis", he replied genuinely before walking out the room. Unique cried out once he left and felt humiliated, but more disgusted than anything. Life had always been hard on her. Her mother had always been on the go from place to place and guy to guy. She never knew her real father or what stability felt like. That is until the day her mother met Dennis's father Derek. He was really nice to her and her mother and it felt like a dream the day he moved them in. Before that she and her mother were living from relative to relative sharing a house hold with numerous people, and making beds on the couch or the floor when they had to. She never had her own space, bed or room to call hers until the day Derek let them move in. Now it seemed like all her wants came to life and for the first time she felt like more than excessive baggage her mom had to carry around. But what started out as a dream turn out to be a nightmare and Dennis was the boogey man that haunted her constantly. ... Meanwhile after a couple minutes on the floor she wiped the tears from her eye and gathered herself off the floor. She pulled up her pants and winced in pain when she felt the soreness between her legs from Dennis's brutal assault. The smell of him was still thick in the room making her feel even queasier, so she left.

Downstairs Dennis was at the counter eating a sandwich talking to his father, and just the sight of him made her stomach cringe. "Hey Unique are you hungry? I can make you a sandwich", Derek offered. "Yea sis come sit by me", Dennis said with a wink. Chills crept up her back and she looked away, "no I'm not hungry" She replied then hurried past them outside. "Unique?", she heard and jumped briefly. But it was only her aunt Clara sitting with her mother on the porch sipping wine. "Oh hey auntie", she replied shyly. Before auntie could say anything else she walked off the porch and headed to the oak tree across the street. Clara watched her favorite niece for a second then looked at her sister. "So how's Unique taking the move? "Oh she loves it, she has her own room and Dennis has been treating her like his little sister, you should see them", she boasted. Clara smiled in praise, she wasn't sure about the move because it was so soon. And she knew her sister could fall easy for money or a good looking man and being that Derek was furnished with both qualities it only took 3 weeks before her and Unique moved out with her and in with him. She still was weary about it but kept that to herself, because she knew her sister would only say she was jealous, and honestly she was a tad bit. Derek was a good man and being she had 3 kids from multiple dudes made finding a good one like him almost impossible. So she sat there and listened to her sister brag. ... Unique stood by and her mother glorify Dennis and shook her head. It made her realize how true his words were about them not believing her. She pushed it all in the back when she reached her tree and saw all the pretty butterflies floating around. A rare smile crept across her face because the butterflies always took her to a peaceful place.

She loved everything about them, from the way they floated around freely to their beautiful wings. Suddenly a yellow and blue one landed on her nose and she giggled. "So I see the move has gotten you brand new too, huh miss thang", her Aunt Clara said walking up. She jumped again but this time Clara frowned, "Hey what's got you jumping all around"? She shrugged silently and Clara grabbed her hands. "Can I at least get a kiss? Unique nodded then kissed her on the cheek and Clara smiled. She had all boys and Unique was the closes she had to a daughter. "Your mother says ya'll like it, is that true? She asked but got another shrug. "I guess". "You guess, you have your own room now and I hear you and Derek's son have become really close. Unique body turned cold and Clara recognized it immediately. "Baby what's wrong? Unique looked past her at the house, "No ... Nothing". Clara's frowned deepen, "C'mon bay you don't have to lie to me, I'm Aunt Clara. "What has Dennis been mean to you? She quivered then looked past her at the house again before whispering, "Can you keep a secret Auntie? "Yes baby of course, talk to me. Unique leaned in closer, "He's been touches me between my legs and sticks his tongue in my private parts. "Then he told he'll kill me if I said anything. Clara gasped in shock, "How long has this been going on? "Since we moved in but you can't say anything he'll kill me. Clara's jaws tighten from rage and she stood up. "Auntie No!!! unique cried but Clara was already storming across the street before she could stop her. "Sandra! Sandra! She yelled at her sister. Sandra frowned on the porch, but got up a lil tipsy and met her at the top of the driveway. "What's wrong with you why are you yelling? Unique just told me that Derek's son been touching her!

Clara blared. "What? She asked hoping she heard wrong. "You heard me, that little perverted bastard been molesting Unique! She says he's been sticking his tongue and finger's in her private. Sandra gasped, "What?" Sandra stop saying what, like you can't comprehend what the fuck I'm telling you okay! Sandra shook her head in disbelief. "No ... No ... you got it wrong, Dennis isn't like that." Bitch please, don't be naïve and stupid I know Unique telling the truth. Sandra fell silent and drifted in her own thoughts for a second, however Clara wasn't letting up. "Fuck this I'm going to confront this motha fucka myself! She snapped but Sandra stopped her." No you're not, as a matter of fact I think it's time for you to leave. Clara looked at her in the worse way, hoping she didn't hear what she did. She sighed smiling, "So what are you going to do about this? "That's none of your business, right now you need to leave". "OH you're such a dumb bitch". "Yea and you're a jealous one, I know it kills you to see me happy but you're gonna have to deal with it because I'm not letting you or anybody else ruin this for me! She snapped. You! This isn't about you and that fuckin man" Bye Clara, get out of my face and away from my house! Clara looked across the street at her niece standing under the tree and her heart aced. "It's a shame that you would rather side with a man over your child. "You need to worry about your kids and their different fathers. "Clara's nose flared, "Fuck you"! "No fuck you, go away and stay away! Clara had heard enough she got in her car and pulled off without looking or coming back. "Come here Unique! Sandra yelled with aggression. Unique kept her head down and took baby steps up to her. "What did you tell Clara? "No ... Nothing Ma", she lied out of fear. Sandra sighed and rubbed her forehead out of frustration, "Just go to your room and stay there. Unique did just that never breaking her gaze with the floor along the way. ...

That Evening

Unique had her ear to the crack of her door listening to her mother and Derek argue down stairs. They had been since her mother found out the truth from Aunt Clara, and from the sounds of it things were getting heated. – "I'm telling you Sandra my son isn't like that, your daughter is lying and if this is some type of game you're trying to run-Game! "This isn't a game I'm just as surprised as you when I heard it. Derek sighed and eyed her for a second, Sandra was the most beautiful women he'd ever laid eyes on, that's why he knew he had to have her. He's a contract designer and pretty well establish. He found himself able to look past her stability issues and the fact that she's a single mother with nothing past her good looks. But these accusations had him questioning his decision to bring her in his life as fast as he did. He cleared his throat, "I think you and your daughter should leave". Her facial expression changed immediately, Leave? "Yes leave, at least until we figure out what's going on here. Because these are some serious accusations you're making towards my son. "Derek I'm not accusing him of anything, I'm just telling you what my daughter said. "Well you need to talk to her because she' lying. "Ok ... Okay I'll talk to her, just please relax", she pleaded. Derek walked outside while she headed upstairs ... Unique heard her mother coming and jumped in her bed. She came in with tears trailing down her cheeks, and closed the door behind her. "Unique I don't know where all this is coming from but you need to understand that Derek and Dennis love us and this is home for us now. Unique looked away, "He said you wouldn't believe me. "Unique stop it, okay! This is home and that won't change, do you understand? - "Yes ma'am, she replied barley above a whisper ... She nodded, "Good, now go to bed", she said before leaving out. As soon as she did Dennis's words played in her mind. {They'll never believe you, even if you told them}. She started crying so much that she eventually dozed off to sleep. ...

A few hours deep in the night. ...

Unique was covered in sweat, tossing and turning uncomfortably in her sleep. She didn't know what was that had her in this petrified state, that is until she opened her eyes and saw Dennis hovering over her smiling. "Hey Sis". Her eyes grew wide with fear and before she could do anything he jumped on top of her and covered her mouth. "You little bitch, I should kill you right now for opening your mouth! He snapped choking her. She shook her head desperately, trying to tell him she didn't but he only applied pressure. Unique felt herself blacking out and when Dennis finally loosen his grip, she gasped loudly for air. "I've gotten something better in mind for you", he promised then snatched off her pajama bottoms. She tried kicking him off but was over powered, he gaped open her legs then pulled out his now erect penis and tore into her innocence. Her cries were muffled by his hand, as he started stroking her viscously. "You know you want this shit bitch! Blood started coming down her legs, and she was in some of the worse pain she'd ever felt. His eyes rolled in the back of his head as he felt his nut coming, and a couple seconds later he pulled out an ejaculated on her stomach. It took a couple seconds for him to come down from his orgasm but once he did he looked at her with a grin. "Not that it makes a difference anyway but I don't have to tell you what will happen if you open your mouth. "Mm mm that pussy is good though", he said adjusting himself. He walked out laughing leaving Unique drowning in tears. She was in so much pain she could barely move, and her sheets were soaked with her blood. It was then she wanted to die, he actually wanted Dennis to come back and kill her. She figured it would eventually happen anyway, and death had to be better than her life. Sadly this was the first time she felt like this, but it wouldn't be the last. ...

CHAPTER 2

5 ... Years ... later ...

"Mr. Farrow I see that your communication device has side tracked you from my class, how's about you put it away and answer the question I've asked the class", His teacher Mr. Owens suggested. Patience smirked and sat up while easing his phone back in his pocket. "I got you on the phone Mr. O but I'll pass on the question. He grinned" Why are you afraid to show everyone how bright you are? Patience chuckled, "Not at all but I figure if I answer your question, I'll be doing your job for you and they're paying you to teach not me. A few kids in the class laughed and Mr. Owens face turned a couple shades red but he kept his composure. "Oh I see you're smart enough to be slick but not to tell me about Pythagoras's. Patience stayed quiet but next to him Unique cleared her throat, "Um ... followers of Pythagoras's saw numbers as points, so that they could prove at a glance that the sum of unequal numbers is equal to the square of the middle number, like 1+3=2 squared or 1+3+5=3 squared" she said low keeping her head down. Mr. Owens smiled, "Astonishing". You know Mr. Farrow if you were smart you'd be taking notes from Miss Miller next to you, but you're not so let's move on", he said earing a few snickers of his own from the class. Patience looked over at Unique and smirked, "thanks for giving me that". She smiled shyly but their moment was short lived. "Yea maybe now you can lend her a perm or dam hot comb for that nappy ass head of hers", her class mate Crystal cracked causing the entire class to erupt in laughter. "Okay class let's settle down and open your books to page 183, Mr. Owens said stern. Unique rolled her eyes at Crystal, and she stuck her tongue back at her in return. The 2 hated each other with a passion and had ever since they were little girls. Crystal was pretty popular and very pricey, an always found Unique to be an easy target. "Don't sweat her, she's just a hater", Patience whispered to her before opening his book and pulling his phone back out. Unique gazed at him comely for a minute, and to say she had a crush on him was under statement. He was the cutest boy she'd ever seen and all she did in class was day dream about him. Unfortunately though she wasn't the only one, there were actually numerous girls including Crystal weak for him. However she had the up's on the hoes because she sat next to him in 3rd and 4th block, and that was more than enough for her. Sometimes though she wished she was as brave as them to openly flirt with him, but she was too afraid of saying the wrong thin so she kept their conversation to a minimum. If not though she'd love to tell him how she liked his smooth milky brown skin complexion. And how well manicured his waves looked on his head, but especially how tasteful his lips looked. Just looking at him made her look away, because of that slight tingle she felt between her legs. Her thoughts were running wild and she decided to pull out her journal and express herself freely. Her journal held some of her most precious thoughts and it helped escape a lot of the bull shit she was surrounded with. It was difficult to write about some things but when it came to Patience it always came natural. She was so engage in her thoughts that the day had past, and it seemed as if the bell rung in just a couple minutes. "We'll pick up Monday, you guy's enjoy your weekend", he said to the class as they cleared out. Unique gathered up her things and headed out as well, when out of nowhere Crystal bumped into her roughly and knocked her books out of her hand. She sucked her teeth and bend over to pick her things up, but Crystal swooped n and grabbed her journal. Unique gasped, "Give me my dam notebook! She yelled trying to rush her but her friends blocked her off. Crystal started flipping through the pages, "Let's see what you're writing in here all the time". "Give me my shit! Unique screamed but she only laughed I return. "Oh shit Patience, mullet head has a little crush on you". He sighed, "just give her back her notebook. "Your brown eyes are like pools of love I want to swim in and in your arms is the position I want to be in", Crystal read laughing. "Give me my fuckin notebook! Unique screamed crying while Patience went up to Crystal. "Give me her shit now! He said seriously. Crystal rolled her eyes but gave him the journal. "Here Unique I- before he could finish she snatched her notebook and took off crying down the hall. He mugged Crystal, "That's fucked u, you didn't have to play her like that in front of everyone. "Fuck that bum bitch she don't even do her hair, so I know you not weak for that hoe. He just shook his head and walked off. ...
