On a Wednesday afternoon, on the last week of school, I came back from the Christmas concert at school and my mum was waiting there, all teary eyed. She said we needed to talk, alone. We walked into the kitchen and she hugged me tight, crying. As we all know, when our mother (or father) cries, we cry too because we hate to see them cry. So I started crying too of course. Eventually I asked her what had happened. She told me he had been arrested for having illegal videos and pictures of me. I couldn't stop crying. My mum asked me if he had ever touched me inappropriately, I said yes, and told her everything. After two hours of crying. I finally went to bed. At this time it was around 12:00am, it was hard for me to sleep.

The next morning, mum walked in and said I get the day off. This was my second to last day at school before the Christmas holidays, but I didn't mind. Mum decided that we'd just watch films and she would get us both some snacks from the shop. I was happy with her plan but I wasn't expecting company.

After mum had gone to the shops, I could hear her shouting at someone near the house. I opened the door and my mum bust through and instantly hugged me and dragged me into the living room. My nan and uncle came in and shut the door. They came in and saw mum crying with me on her lap. They asked what happened and she said that He was a paedophile and had touched me while I slept. THIS WAS NEW INFORMATION FOR ME SO I COULNT STOP CRYING. We all cried together for awhile then they finally left.

We carried on our day, as planned. And of course the next day I went back into school and was asked all these questions about why I wasn't in. I didn't tell them. I only told my true friends a couple days later.
