I looked at him, I couldn't take my eyes off him it was like I had been petrified.
- I know I'm beautiful but stop looking at me, you risk ending me.
I quickly turned my face away.
- nobody came to see me?
- No one except your little brother whom I go to pick up every day at the end of school before dropping him off at your place. Your mother doesn't even want to hear about it and your father even less.
- My father?
- Yes.
- so he came back from his trip.
- I believe. In short, let's not talk about that anymore. I'll do some necessary exams and hopefully you can come home tomorrow.
-I failed the exam my God! The school is not going to accept this.
- Why? You will go to catch-up and that's it.
- the subject is paying for catching up. How will I do?
My life was really miserable.
- everything will be fine, don't worry.
- it's easy to say. What about my medical expenses?
- I brought you here, I'll take care of it.
- But...
- no but please. Let's change the subject, tell me about yourself. How old are you?
- I ... I am eighteen years old. I am in third year CGE.
- what? Eighteen years? You are a little genius say so. And do you have a boyfriend?
- sorry?
- uh ... sorry my question is a little misplaced.
- no. Infact ... I don't have a boyfriend. It doesn't interest me and then I'm all ugly, who will want me? I have no big buttocks, breasts that block the view. Am very slim and skinny.
- do not say that. I find you pretty you know!
- you say that just to cheer me up.
- it's not true. I find you very beautiful. You have a well drawn face. Girls strip off just to get your skin tone. your hair is very beautiful. I wonder what they are like when you leave them in the wind. And your eyes my God! They do not have a fixed color. Earlier, they were gray now they are brown. I tell myself that their color changes depending on your mood.
I smiled.
- ah! I like this better. So Mimi, you're hungry aren't you? I'll get you some food.
- it's not worth it I ...
- I'm the doctor here, we do as I want.
He came out and I dozed off. When he returned, as if I knew, I opened my eyes.
- I had two burgers I hope you like.
- I ... I never ate it.
-you...
He started to laugh.
- serious?
I blushed with shame.
- well, I'm not laughing anymore. So my dear, you are going to eat it and then you will not say that you have never eaten it ok?
- Yes.
I tasted it and it was delicious, but the food had never been my thing. I wasn't eating enough because I didn't have enough at first and then I got used to staying hungry. So it didn't mean much to me. I took two bites afterwards, I lost my appetite.
- you don't eat anymore?
- I'm not hungry anymore.
- wow! I understand why you are so thin. Aren't you anorexic by chance?
- No, I do not think so.
Then we talked about everything and nothing and I fell asleep. The next day, he walked me home because I was doing much better. But I would have liked to stay in a coma for a bit longer.
As soon as I crossed the threshold of the door, it was miguel who greeted me happily.
- Mimi!
- hi little genius. What are you doing?
- I was waiting for you.
He took my hand and led me to the living room.
- where are the old people?
- to worship.
Really! I wondered what they were told at this service. Not that I was a peasant, no, on the contrary I liked going to church and hearing about God. I even tried to walk as he wanted. But my parents them, by their way of behaving made me think. I wondered if we were following the same cult or not.
- you can go in don't stay outside doctor.
- it's Marrion not a doctor. And I'm in a hurry. So I'm going to go. hold my number in case of need, you call me.
- thank you. But I don't think we're going to see each other again.
me if my beautiful. Take and keep it.
I took it anyway, then we greeted each other and he came home. I went to sleep. The old people came back in the evening and ignored me. I even try to get them to talk but nothing. Not even insults. Anyway, I went back to the bedroom (lol) to sleep. The next day, while mom was at the store, I stayed at home. And daddy went out. He came home in the evening. But Miguel and mom don't.
- dad, where are mum and Miguel?
- they went to his aunt's house. And I think they're going to sleep there.
I didn't even think he was going to answer.
- I'm hungry, serve me something to eat.
- okay.
I brought some food while he watched football.
- don't go, come and watch football with me.
I sat down, naive as I was, next to him.
- if you are tired, you can put your head on my thighs.
- No it'll be fine.
And his hands have gradually started to play adventurers.
- dad?
- let it go, everything is normal, I am your father, I can touch you like that.
I tried to leave and I told myself that his gesture was natural.
- which team do you support?
- Blues.
- great me too. You know, you are very beautiful.
- thank you.
- you have a boyfriend?
- I .... no.
- it's good. He just has to have your father as a man in your life.
- But...
-huut! Tell me, are you still a virgin?
- vi ... yes!
- that's not right at your age. Let go, i will help you
He knocked me over on the couch.
- But ... what are you doing daddy?
- hey! I am not your father. Anna is not your mother so don't worry. You are going to like it a lot, don't worry.
Shock!
- you ... you ...
He started to force my lips with his.
I was scared and didn't know what to do, he was going to r**e me.
I tried to take a taton, something on the table but it fell and it was the glass of water. It broke. He continued to kiss me on the neck while cuddling me.
I was screaming and crying, nothing to do. He was already lifting my skirt when I drew the last strength in me and pushed him. He fell, luckily not on the broken bottles. But I do! And the pieces went into my hands but I didn't care.
I got up with difficulty, picked up my phone and started to run barefoot like crazy. I was running without knowing where I was going without looking back. It was getting late. I stopped. Where was I going? I then took my phone and dialed the number of the doctor who immediately picked up.
- Hello?
- yes doctor it's Mimi. Please, I need your help.
- I arrive.
I didn't even know he was going to answer. I waited there. I was sitting on a piece of wood and I was crying. And my hands were bleeding profusely. At one point, I dozed off.
- hey?
Someone was patting me. I hardly opened my eyes.
- I looked for you and here I find you.
It was that old pervert.
- let go of me.
- what did you think? There's no one here to stop me, we're gonna finish what we started.
- no please let go of me.
- never.
- let go of the old crouton, aren't you ashamed?
It was him, it was the doctor.
He picked up daddy and punched him.
- dirty pervert, that's how you destroy the lives of other people's children out here.
- It's my daughter.
- let me laugh. Do not put your pasta on it anymore.
- okay. And who are you?
- I ... I'm her fiancé. And I forbid you to touch her
- okay, she never puts her feet at my place again.
- but not ...
- ok she won't come back ok? No problem. She will come to live with me and be better
Dad got up and left I was just crying, I couldn't help it.
- get up and dry your tears.
- where will I go? I am alone in the world.
- me I'm here. Come, let's go to my place.
- no I...
- don't ask your opinion.
He held out his hand, which I somehow tried to take.
- what's on your hands?
- laughed ... nothing.
- that's it! Come on, let's go.
- or?
- at home of course!
I kept quiet and I followed him. But did I have a choice?
He parked in front of a building and took the stairs, me behind him.
And it was in front of a large door that he stopped. He opened and I was blinded by the beauty of the place. Her apartment was very nice and tidy, I thought I was in a movie.
- don't stay on the landing, you risk catching a cold.
I walked in and stood there. He disappeared behind a door which was probably his bedroom. I was standing there and didn't know what to do.
- sit down why are you standing?
I sat down.
- you ate?
- uh ... yes ... no but I'm not hungry.
- ok for tonight. So you're gonna follow me into the bathroom.
- I can...
- do you stutter?
- sorry?
- I ask if you stutter. You stutter with every answer.
- I...
- forget about it. Let's go think your hands.
I followed him and it was in a bathroom like we only saw in the movies that we fell.
- sit down I take my hole.
- Okay.
I was afraid yes, how can I trust if my own ... well my so called own father had almost r***d me?
- inhale hard because it will hurt. You'll have to remove the ends in your hands.
And that's what he did but I wasn't crying, not screaming.
- you're not screaming? It does not hurt?
Yes, but I didn't want to feel any more emotions. I was in too much pain inside of me.
- you are brave say so.
- thank you.
This is just what I said.
Then he showed me a room.
- I...
-you?
- I ... I left my ventoline at home.
- Are you athletic?
- Yes.
- ouch ... we'll fix it tomorrow. It would be better to go to sleep. Good night.
- better at you.
I lay down on the big bed. How long has it been since I slept on a mattress? I used to sleep on a carpet on the floor. I closed my eyes thinking about everything, about my life. What was to become of me? Why me?
