Beth grew strength from Janie. Janie took matters into her own hands. Aerosmith said so.
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same.
Beth felt the same way about her dad, Mike. She hated the fact she had to move back in with he and her mom when she flunked out of college her sophomore year. Her choices were to live on the street or with them. Looking back, Beth wished she had chosen the streets.
In the beginning, everything was great and just like it was before she left for college. Then her mom took the night shift job at the quickie mart and that's when she noticed Mike staring at her differently. It made Beth very uncomfortable.
It was two weeks to the day after her mom started the new job, it happened. Mike knocked on her bedroom door to check on her. Beth remembered it as if it happened yesterday.

"Are you okay, sweetie," he asked in a quiet voice. "I heard noises and wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Uh huh," mumbled Beth as she tried to slide her vibrator under her pillow.
"Are you sure?" Mike asked. "You don't want me to check under your bed or something?"
"I'm not nine and scared of the boogie man," she told him, sarcastically. "I'll be okay."
"If it's all the same, let me look."
Mike walked into Beth's room slowly and left the door cracked, allowing a small amount of light inside. He put his hand on the side of her quilt and peered underneath.
"You are right," he told her. "There is nothing under your bed. Sweet dreams."
Mike then bent to kiss her on the forehead. Beth raised her head to give him access to it. Instead of his breath landing on that part of her body she felt it on her lips a split second before his met hers.
With her arms under the covers, she couldn't reach to push him off. She struggled to free her trapped arms as he lowered himself atop her and the covers. She felt his hardened penis against her leg and tried to scream out. He pressed his lips hard to hers and she found it difficult to breathe.
"It's okay Bethie," said Mike. "I'm not going to hurt you. I have loved you a long, long time and I just want to show you how much you mean to me."
With her eyes wide, she merely nodded that she understood. Her mind raced with thoughts of how to get out of this situation. She took all the safety courses she could in school and learned how to defend herself from an unknown attacker, but none of those classes covered what to do when you are under the covers in your own bed with your Dad on top of you.
She began to cry. As tears streamed down her face, her father wiped them away.
