“What was going on? Are you kidding me? That man was torturing me, and you just stood there and did nothing to stop him. Nothing!”
I spin on my heels and swallow the bile in my throat, pulling a shocked Cole with me. I need to get out of here before I shoot her.
“He never did those things to you,” she says. I turn back toward her.
“You’re insane.”
“No, Lexi, I’m not.”
“What? You don’t think I remember? I know exactly what he did to me. I lived it. And he drugged you. So go right ahead and believe whatever you want to believe. I don’t care anymore; I’m no longer your daughter … You know nothing about me. I’m with the people who love and care about me, and I want nothing to do with you. Stay away from me, I don’t ever want to see or hear from you again.”
I’m practically running away from her when she says one last thing.
“He didn’t torture you,” she says loudly. “I did.”
THE END
