The next morning, Abigail woke up and felt a bit of a headache. She felt as if she had been asleep the whole day before and she couldn’t remember anything that had happened. Nevertheless, she started her mourning routine and was walking out the door when her mother commented on her outfit.
“Well I am glad to see you are not dressing like a little girl anymore with those pigtails and bows” she said with a sarcastic tone. Abigail had no idea what her mother was talking about because she would never dressed in such a childish way and she wondered why her mother would take notice to her clothes but the bruises left from her uncle went unnoticed. She decided to ignore the comment and continues on her way to school.
She had left earlier than needed so there was extra time and she decided to stop by the coffee shop. She decided this was a perfect opportunity to take pictures and a man with a very nice leather jacket caught her attention. The leather had wear to it, making it seem as if it had a story to tell. The man noticed her taking a picture of him and started a conversation with Abigail. Come to find out, his name was Otis. He had just moved to the area and he started to talk of his travels. They talked a little bit about the town and all the weird characters in it. He mentioned the old blind man he had met earlier who played Simple Twist of Fate by Bob Dylan twice in one day. Otis tried to talk to the old man but at first, he was unresponsive. The second time he tried to communicate with the old blind man but he just talked about what will come will come. Abigail wished she had seen this man because he would have made for very interesting pictures. Also, she didn’t understand what the blind man’s words meant but paid no attention to the matter.
All of a sudden, Bus #17 tries to turn right by the coffee shop but then stalls. All of the passengers were forced to depart the bus. Surprisingly, her uncle stepped off the bus and Abigail immediately was frightened. She tried to hide from him but it didn’t work. Her uncle spotted her and started to walk over with his signature mischievous smile. She had no idea how to handle the situation. Otis left to figure what happened. Her uncle finally wormed his way through the growing crowd and found Abigail. Everything he said to her was inappropriate. He asked when she would be alone so they could play their sex games. He started to touch her in very uncomfortable places and she continued to feel disgusted with herself. Her uncle soon felt pleased with himself so he left and said they would have a special date soon. Otis soon came up to Abigail. Otis saw her scared expression on her face and became increasingly worried about her. He commented on how weird her uncle was and how uncomfortable Abigail looked while talking to him. It was as if she wanted someone to save her from the situation. Abigail responded in a way that surprised Otis.
“Baby, you could never save Abigail but you can save me any day because I have been a very naughty girl.”
“Abigail?! What’s wrong?” Otis asked.
“You can forget about Abigail. Evelyn is here now and I am ready to do things to you that you have never heard of before.”
