Chapter 19
Haley point of view.
I wake up with the knowledge that something is wrong. Rising from the bed, I start to look around the darkened room before realizing that it's Jessica who woke me up.
She's still asleep, but her muscles are tense and straining, her hands are curled into fists by her side. Her eyes are tightly closed, and she's moaning words in her sleep, the sounds barely comprehensible.
"No." She says, her head moving from side to side.
"No please, let me go."
I look up at her face, and it's drawn into a tight mixture of desperation and despair.
She makes another tortured sound, and I put my arms around her, and I pray for her nightmare to end. It finally does, her body relaxes as sleep takes over. I stay awake long after. Almost every night that we've slept in the same bed she's had nightmares it kills me to know she relives the vile awful things that man did to her night after night.
I finally fall asleep again.
When I wake again I'm alone, but the light coming from the window tells me it's morning. It's Saturday, so I don't rush to get up and ready for work.
I take a shower and then, search for Jessica. When I don't find her I stop in the kitchen where Angela is.
"Do you know where Jessica is?"
"Jessica and Tommy went to go do something, they didn't say where they were going."
I sit at the table and I watch Angela, taking a moment to really study her. There are dark circles under her eyes. There is definitely something weighing heavily on her mind.
"Are you okay, Angela?"
She sits across from me, and I notice her jaw twitch as she tries to figure out how to explain things to me.
"It's all this stuff with Jessica, I feel like I could have done something, I should have known."
"When did she tell you?"
She shifts uncomfortably.
"It was long after she stopped seeing him. I should have realized something wasn't right from the very beginning, she didn't act right, she was more moody and she didn't let anyone touch her. This was after she decided she didn't want reconstruction surgery, so she was taking those pills. I thought that's why she changed so much."
"What do you mean reconstruction surgery?" I ask.
"A couple of weeks after she was born they talked about reconstructing her genitals into female because they noticed she has ovaries, and a uterus. But I said no, I wanted Jessica to make that decision later in life, I had heard a few stories of doctors doing that and that person never feeling right in their body. I didn't want to take that away from her. Frank, her father wasn't very happy about that." She clears her throat. "Anyways when she decided to stay the way she is, they started her on steroids and growth hormones even testosterone, because it was smaller than a normal mans..." She trails off and runs her fingers through her hair, a gesture that reminds me a lot of Jessica.
