We all left the school and headed home.Our injured girl healed quite fast and was back at her place on the squad in short order. The squad held a meet...ing to elect a captain for this school year. They all wrote names on a slip of paper and put them in an envelope. Normally the coach gets to count the ballots but since my daughter was on the squad I deferred to one of the teachers to do the count. It was a tense moment while she counted but she came over to me and handed the envelope to me to. Worried that the other neighbours might hear I hissed “Come in here if you have something to say” stepping to the side so she could come in (not that I thought she would).She stepped straight inside and kicked the door shut behind her, wrenching the handle out of my hand. “You’ve just fucked my little sister … she’s only 12 you know”!! (She had told me she was eleven – but I wasn’t about to argue the point!) “You’ve ruined her life”!!“I didn’t do ANYTHING she didn’t want me to” … now how’s THAT. I sit on her loveseat beside her bed. She sits up. I notice bruises on her wrist that weren't there at breakfast. "You okay, Ames?" I ask. "I guess so," she replies, nodding. "You wanna talk about it?" I ask. "Sure, I guess, if you do," she whispers. I get up, and sit beside her on the bed. I see her shudder, and realize my mistake. "I'm sorry," I say. "I didn't mean to..." My voice trails off, and I start to get up. Amy grabs my arm, and says "Please, don't go." I sit back down and she.
