Carlson: "Ok you ready to answer my questions?" Spencer nods. "Now Spencer some of these questions are going to be hard to answer. Just take your time and make sure you don’t leave any detail out. And anytime you need a break just tell me." Spencer just nods again and squeezes my hand. I rubb my thumb over the back of her hand to reassure her. "OK first question when did Travis start hitting you?"

Spencer: "A-about a y-year into our r-relationship." I was still rubbing the back of her hand and she started to relax. Her stutter wasn’t as bad. "I didn’t want to go to some p-party and h-he pushed me. That’s how it started. He pushed me. B-before that he was just verbally a-abussive."

Carlson: "So it escilated as the relationship went on?"

Spencer: "Y-yes. First it was just verbal then he started to push me around. T-then he started to p-punch me in the torso and l-legs so it wouldn’t be seen by anyone unless I was wearing a bathing suit, b-but T-travis wouldn’t let me go swimming or anything so noone could see." I can’t believe that ass hole.

Carlson: "I only have one more question. Did he ever force you to have sex with him?" Spencer just nodded and a single tear went down her face. "Can you tell me about it? I don’t want to bring up past hurts but it will just help with keeping him in jail longer."

Spencer: "W-well we had been d-dating for a year and a half and by now he was hitting me and everything. W-well one night he decided that he didn’t want to wait to get married like I did so he told me that we would be married eventually anyway so we might as well. I s-said no I w-want to w-wait." Spencer started to cry. "Then he said he w-was h-hard and I was going to fucking please him no matter what. He pushed me on to the bed and pulled my pants off. Then ripped my underwear off. T-thats a-actually why I don’t w-wear them anymore. He kept ripping them." Tears were now just free falling. Not only from her eyes but mine too. 

Ashley: "You’re doing great Spence." I say rubbing her back lightly.

Spencer: "Well that’s when he unzipped his pants and pulled out his penis. He put a condom on and then just shoved himself into me. That’s how sex was between us after that." She was sobbing and turned and put her head into my shoulder and sobbed. I can’t believe that her first time was her bing raped and that she has never felt the true awesomeness that is sex. I really hope that some day someone can show her that it’s an act of love not of control.

Carlson: "Spencer you did awesome. I know it was hard but this will help so much in the case. I promise we’ll put the best people on this and get hom put away for a long time. I have to go get these typed up. You two are free to go."

Back to Today:

And that was how I found out about all that happened to my poor Spencer. She decided to start going to a coucilor to get past that part of her life. I support whatever she does and hope that that will help. I plan on having a giant bash for New Years so hopefully that will get her mind off of some of this and she can just have fun.
