The girl and her mother finally made it to Baltimore late at night. They spent that first night at her new step-dad's mother's mobile home.
The mobile home had 2 bedrooms.
Upon arriving they all sat in the living room beside the front bedroom.
Also there that night were two of the new step-dad's brothers and his mother's boyfriend.
There was a little small talk and then the step-dad's mother and her boyfriend went to bed in the front bedroom. The girl's mother and her new step dad went down the hall to the back bedroom.
That left just the 15 year old in the living room with two grown men. No blankets, no pillows. One of the men, the youngest, laid down on the couch to go to sleep.
The girl looked around wondering where she was supposed to sleep. There was a wide space on the floor beside the TV so she laid down there.
As soon as she laid down the other brother laid down RIGHT BESIDE her. He didn't push up to her but he was basically spooned up to her!
The girls body went stiff. Horrified. What is he doing?she thought. Is this normal? Her mother didn't even say anything to her as she left her there with two men.
She couldn't relax to sleep. She laid there without moving until she heard a noise and she turned her head to look and the youngest brother on the couch was acting out his dream in his sleep. The girl was shocked to see him thrusting into the couch and moaning.
Then from the back bedroom came the rocking as if there was a washing machine with a load off balance. And the squeaking of mattress springs. All the while a 34 year old man was happily snuggled up to the back of a 15 year old.
The girl eventually was able to fall asleep but it wasn't a very restful sleep. She just wanted to make it through the night. She wondered, is this normal??
