"Well I was a tap dancer before I died. My mama and Justin wanted me to dance for everyone. I won shiny awardie thingies. A lot of them. But I wasn't happy...when I did something wrong Justin-" soda says but then gets cut off.
"Sorry sorry but who is Justin?" Sal asks
"Justin is my papa....but I don't claim him as one....he did things to me that I didn't like when I did something wrong while practicing. He would grab me and pin me to the wall. He lifted up my skirt that I wore and told me to not tell mama. He touched me in my no no area...I didn't like it. But he said if I screamed he would hurt me or mama. If I didn't do anything right I would get slapped. He forced me to do it. Said he'd be gentle if I did the act better." Soda says starting to cry.
"Sweetie you don't have to continue if you don't wanna it's ok" Maple says
"P please don't..." Sal says shaking a bit
I also start crying. I know the situation she was in. I know that...
"N no. No!" Soda says trying to calm down. Nothing should happen to a child like that. Children need a happy childhood free of that.
"Why did Justin do that to me? He didn't want me to tell anyone anyone. But I did. I told mama and he hurt her. Then he hurt me. Next thing I know I'm a ghosty and he couldn't hurt me no more. But....he continued to touch my body when I died. He also ended up eating me...He cooked me and mama....and put up missing signs for me and her like he didn't know he killed us!" Soda says still crying and shaking a bit. Maple holds out her hands then says "hunny do you want a hug?" Soda thinks for a bit then nods and gets a hug from maple then semi sits in her lap. The rest of us all go into a hug. Hugging is nice. Good therapeutic thing.
"I'm glad I dieded. I got to meet you all. My new family! I gots lots of good mommy's and daddy's now!" Soda says smiling wiping her eyes.
"I'm glad you're part of our family to. And I promise we won't ever do anything like that to you" maple says
"Agreed" everyone els says
"I also gots a new sister to! She's weird and stinky but I like her" soda says calmer now.
"Is Justin still alive?" I ask kinda dead inside.
"I don't know. Maybe" soda says
".....I need to step outside for a minute" I say stepping out of the tent.
"Larry?..." Sal says.
I walk off into the woods for a bit then I take take off my mask and vomit up everything I ate earlier. I feel sick. That story. It reminded me of thing I forgot about. It make me feel nasty. Sick. I couldn't stop puking and crying and screaming. I hope nobody heard me. I wanna hurt something. I wanna kill Justin but he's probably already dead. I punch a tree almost breaking my wrist but then I feel a hand touch my shoulder.
"Larry!" Sal says. I turn around and look at him hyperventilating and shaking.
"Larry in here it's ok" Sal says
"That shouldn't happen! She's a child! A little kid! Why would he do that?" I ask bawling.
"Some people are just fucked it larry. It's not ok but you will be. Just breathe. You've been puking a bit and panicking you need to breathe." Sal says
"How are you ok with this???" I ask
"I'm not. But I need you to try to breathe ok? Just breathe. You wanna play that one game you do with me?" He asks
"No! I wanna kill Justin! I wanna kill someone!!" I say. I'm furious. Sick. I'm hurting.
"Don't kill someone." Sal says then sighs. "Do you wanna continue punching that tree?"
"I yeah..." I say
"Well...go for it but be care-" Sal says but gets interrupted my my screaming and punching.
"Ful...never mind just let it out. Scream!" Sal says. I do so then finally calm down a bit. I then grab onto Sal. He's also shaking. I look up at him and say "you're turn...". He nods holds me then also screams his lungs out.
"Heh that felt good" he said.
"Yeah....it did" I say then lean onto him.
"You feel better now?" He says looking down at me. I nod then say
"Uh huh". But then I puke onto Sal and myself.
