Chapter 60 - So what's your story?

I took Sasha's hand and we walked into the meeting. These were all rape victims. I sat far back and listened to Sasha talk about her past. She got up and explained, "Hello My name is Alexandria Andrea Whitmore. I am a rape victim. I was raped when I was a child around the age of six. My parents died and my uncle got custody of me. He was nice at first. He got me ballet lessons and much more. One night I had finished my homework and he walked in drunk. He ripped my clothes and raped me. I was shaken with fear screaming for help. I asked God to send help. MM showed up and she ordered her security to get him off me. He was sent to prison. MM adopted me and she took care of me. One night I asked her to take me to see him and she did. He said he gave me ballet lessons so he could get himself into the mood to hurt me. As far as he was concerned I had it coming. When I came home MM asked me if I wanted to continue ballet lessons. I told her I don't want to dance ballet anymore. So she threw my pointe shoes into the fireplace. She took my hand and escorted me to the gym. She told her head of security to give me Karate, Judo lessons. She sent me to therapy and encouraged me to interact with other people. She refused to let me shut down. She had me forgive myself so that I can heal. Now I am a professional MMA fighter. And I am glad she was the one looking after me. Had it been anyone else I would have been doing drugs and God knows what." The others gave me a round of applause. One of them asked her what does MM mean. She smiled and said it is classified. This woman really wanted to know more about us and Sasha decided she won't disclose anymore. She didn't back down and kept broaching the subject so finally the head of the meeting told her to sit down. She sat down looking angry. I had a bad feeling about her so I took a picture of her and sent to Phillip. He promised me a full record of who she was by the time I get home. When the meeting ended Sasha and I walked out and the woman followed us. She wanted to more about our life. Sasha made it clear she is not interested in someone who was most likely an identity thief. Sasha flexed her muscles at the woman. She was offended but backed away. She was thin while Sasha was massive.

Angelica was waiting outside and she looked sad. I asked her if she was molested. She shook her head. She said she followed me in the hopes we would talk. Sasha wouldn't have it. She asked her to leave. We walked back to the car. There was an argument in the garage that escalated and shots were fired. Adam got in front of me and took the bullet. He held on my hand as Sasha drove us to the hospital. He died before we reached the hospital. Angelica apologized for what transpired. She had arrested the idiots involved. She wanted to make amends for her past actions. Sasha said she will talk to GG and Hattie but she is not making any promises. She left before the kids arrived. Hattie and Edge had an episode when they saw Adam's dead body. They fell to the floor and wept harder than the rest of us. I was used to seeing painful things but his death left a different impression on me. Like a hot knife had carved my heart out of my chest.
