“You’ve tortured me!” I shrieked. “You’ve ruined my life! And now you think I’ll believe you when you say you’ll…”
Words suddenly failed me. I sank to the floor, tears pricking at my eyes.
Don’t cry,I begged myself, digging my fingernails into my palms.Not in front of him.
Jax crouched in front of me, one hand reaching for my left shoulder. “I know you don’t trust me, and you’re right to feel that way,” he said softly, squeezing my arm to hold me steady. “But I promise, I’m going to do whatever it takes to make this right. I’ll contact the police. Take you to the hospital to get checked out. Whatever you want.”
I sucked in a deep, shaky breath, knowing my explosive rage was misdirected. George was the one who deserved to be hit and screamed at. He violated me. Betrayed me and my mother.Sick fucking bastard.
“I’m sorry,” I choked out. “Jax… I’m sorry.”
He pulled me into his arms. “You don’t need to apologize,” he muttered against my ear. “You’ve done nothing wrong. I’m the one who was wrong.”
I closed my eyes and leaned against him, letting him hold me, cradle me, give me whatever small comfort he could offer. “It’s okay,” he said softly. “It’s all going to be okay. I’ve got you now.”
I breathed hard, chest heaving. I’d officially reached the end of my self-control, and all the emotion I’d been holding onto for the last few months was pouring out of me, sliding down my face and soaking Jax’s shirt.
“I feel so sick,” I said in a broken murmur. “So gross and dirty.”
“I know.” Jax’s voice went husky. “I’m sorry.”
“Are you really going to turn him in?” I asked in a small voice. “Your own dad?”
“Yes,” he said, softly stroking my hair with one hand. “I’ll take care of everything. I promise.”

Hello Dirt Lovers,
Today’s post is a serious one, but it’s something that needs to be addressed. Firstly, I would like to say that I’ve been receiving all the tips/questions/random comments you’ve been sending me about the scandal involving Jax Kingsley’s father. A lot of you have also emailed me over the last two weeks to ask why I haven’t posted any of them.
The answer is this: I will never, ever post about sexual abuse cases. They are NOT gossip material. I know this will make some of you mad because I usually post anything and everything, no matter how heinous, but I draw the line at cases like this—especially when they involve one of our fellow students.
So just to be clear: do not send me any more messages about this matter. None of them will be posted. Also, if any of you use the comments section on unrelated posts to speculate on the case or spread rumors, you will be blocked from the app. I choose to believe victims, and I will not allow their lives to be made more difficult by that sort of activity.
On that note, I would like to address Kinsey Holland.
It has recently come to my attention that almost every single tip sent in about Kinsey since she started at CPA was untrue. Mostly manufactured gossip designed to make everyone dislike her.
Kinsey, I wholeheartedly apologize to you for contributing to the pain and suffering you’ve endured in your time here. I wish you luck in your healing journey, and I hope everyone else does too.
“Holy shit.”Erin’s eyes bulged as she stared at her phone. “Did you see the new post on Dirt?”
I nodded. “Yeah, I just read it.”
“I’ve never seen RXorcist apologize to anyone before.Never.”
“I guess he or she really feels bad, then.” I pressed my lips into a tight line and shoved my phone back in my pocket.
“At least we know it’s not Cerina running the app now.” Erin wrinkled her nose. “Ugh, I wassosure it was her!”
“Yeah, there’s no way it could be her,” I said bitterly, turning to my locker. “She’d never feel bad or apologize for anything.”
Erin rolled her eyes. “Exactly.”
