'But then I remember the girls he hurt, the ones that have died, the ones that got pregnant, the ones that cannot even relate with men anymore and every pity I have for my brother disappears because he could have handled the situation better.'
Alicia stood up.
She wanted to leave and so did I.
Betty could never see the wrong in Nate and I could not blame her.
'Nate was abused too.' Betty blurted out.
The living room that was almost as large as Lily's started to feel small.
The air became too heavy and I could not breathe. My chest felt very tight and I thought my head was going to explode.
I looked at Alicia, she was flushed like she had just seen a ghost.
It was very shocking to hear that Nate had been abused and it was even more shocking that I got the information from Betty.
'What do you mean Nate was abused too?' Alicia sat back down.
'That was all he told me. I could not ask for details because I did not want to know.'
