The Broken Girl (Completed)

Chapter 24

Luna: “What could be worse than what happened on the rest of the days you told us…...?”

Lucy: “Well what I’m about to tell you is what it’s going to be the worst. On that day I decided to tell them what happened to me in class again with my teacher pointing me out. This time it was unbearable. I headed to tell them and that’s when they lashed out on me. Saying things like I’m such a baby and that I should learn how to handle myself, that this problem was such a small one and I should just grow up. And then teasing me about a very sensitive topic that they knew not to talk about like that. To tell you the truth this wasn’t the first time I had been abused by a teacher. Well, this was verbal abuse but before I had been-”

Raven: “Don’t tell me you had been physically-”

Lucy: “Unfortunately yes. I had been physically abused by my previous tuition teacher when I was a child. You see I was home-schooled so I went to her for my studies. But sometimes when I would get things wrong like the one time I forget my book so she made me do squats till my driver came and picked me up. Another time she held my neck with such anger using her hand and threw me out of her house for a bit. I only remember 1 or 2 days where she was nice to me. When she let me play with her daughter’s dollhouse and took me out once when she had a small errand to run.”

Scarlet: “WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER?!”

Raven: “I KNOW RIGHT?!”

Flora: “I’M SORRY TO INTERRUPT LUCY BUT WHERE IS THIS TEACHER SO WE CAN GO AND GIVE HER A FEW--”

Lucy: “Funny thing is, I don’t know where she is today nor do I remember her face too much. So far I haven’t met some outsider with her face. But anyways she would basically do stuff like that to me. And I don’t know why she would do that nor wasn’t I able to tell my parents. They did notice it afterward and I stopped going over there. But the thing I don’t remember is her threatening me not to tell my parents.”

I started to have tears in my eyes a bit while saying the next part.

Lucy: “What I remember in these memories is that I was scared and terrified yet I still went to her. And just so I thought it wasn’t some nightmare I even asked my parents before if any of that was real and they said yes.”

Luna: “How were your parents able to find out if you didn’t tell them?”

Lucy: “When my mother was helping me shower then she asked me why my arms were so red like I had been beaten by someone and then I told her. And since then I didn’t go to that teacher which was the best part. After that, I went to a much better teacher who helped me grow and learn, showed her love and I become really close with her. So it isn’t all that sad you guys, cheer up your frowning faces.”

Luna: “How do you think after all that abuse and telling us that you had a good teacher in the end right now makes it happy you IDIOT?”

Lucy: “Well now they came back and triggered it but that’s not all the story. Now I’ll continue after they called me a cry-baby, that I ask so much from them and that don’t I have anyone else to tell my problems to. Well after that all of them starting teasing me in a very rude way. When they knew best that this wasn’t a topic that should be said in a joking matter. I snapped at them and said what they did isn’t fair or right. That one should never make fun of someone’s fear or illness because it isn’t some joke. It can be triggering for some. Since then I didn’t sit with nor talk to them. They didn’t bother much about it either. Yet there would be times I cry about it at night or whenever I thought about it. I say it’s my mistake I told them. Had I knew about it I wouldn’t have. So that’s that girls…..that’s the past I hid and was scared of talking about.”

Luna came towards me and gave me a hug while crying. I wanted to be a little strong and so I held it in but after that hug, I couldn’t and burst it all out.

All of us were crying together and I saw how much these girls cared for what I had to say. That those girls teased me and yet these girls are feeling my story through their hearts. They felt the pain I had been through.

I was also looking at my kittens who seemed concerned. They came towards me and purred as if they were trying to comfort me.

Luna: “Okay guys all of you pack up right now.”

Lucy: “Pack up? But whatever for?”

Luna: “Well since right now Scarlet can’t go home, I feel like it would be safer and better for her to stay over at my place. And for Lucy since we can’t leave her in this state alone which I won’t allow, either way, might as well all of us have a sleepover.”

Flora: “I know we can’t say no to that so might as well join.”

Scarlet: “I’m in I don’t want to go home and see my sister anyway…..also Lucy on my sister behalf I really am so so so sorry for what has happened to you because of her. The pain she caused you and the tears you shed because of her. I hope that you are free from all that. I don’t even know if I have the right to be your friend….”

I hugged scarlet and told her,

Lucy: “You are nothing like your sister. If anything, you helped me right now by listening as all of you have. So my dear Scarlet, don’t say that. It upsets me.”
