Apologies And Truths (Callie&Matt)

Callie walked down the stairs slowly as she approached the living room where her father was. She was ready to apologize for what she had done and come clean about what Adam did to her.

"Dad?" Callie said softly, slight fear showing in her voice.

"What?" Matt asked.

"Can we talk?" Callie asked, already choking back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.

"Why? You're just going to give me attitude." Matt said.

"I won't, I promise," Callie said sincerly

"What is it then?" Matt asked before he turned his head to look at Callie.

"I wanted to apologize to you for the way I've been acting here lately." Callie said. "I know I was wrong in treating you the way I did."

She paused.

"I know you'd never hurt me the way that bastard did."

Matt eyed Callie.

"What are you talking about?" Matt asked.

(sorry, I'm being lazy and not logging out. lol)

Callie's eyes welled with tears at the thought of what he'd done.

"He...he molested me." Callie cried softly.

(lol me too)

Matt stood up immediately as anger filled his body.

"Who?" Matt asked.

"Adam," Callie choked out. She looked at Matt, the pain and fear showing in her eyes, the real Callie shining through.

"Adam? You mean Amy's Adam?" Matt asked as even more anger filled his body.

Callie nodded.

"Daddy please help me, I can still feel him,I can still smell him,I can still hear his voice,I can't get him out of my head!" Callie wept.

Matt looked at Callie before he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Please...just help me, just...don't let him hurt me again please," Callie pleaded.

"I swear to god he will never be able to hurt you ever again." Matt said.

Callie smiled slightly before wiping her eyes.

"Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome sweetie." Matt muttered.

Callie smiled.

"I quit smoking," she said.

Matt smiled.

"Really?" Matt asked.

"It's been two weeks," Callie said.

"Two weeks!" Matt yelled.

"Why are you yelling, at least I quit!" Callie defended.

Matt calmed down.

"I guess you're right." Matt said.

"I have a new addiction now," Callie said.

"Gum,"
