Today was a hard day. For it being friday, i am on edge and stressed out today. My pills for anxiety ran out 2 days ago and mom can't get me new ones till our insurance is settled. So i've been very off it lately.
Mr. Taylor has been looking at me weird in class today.
We were on the topic of our judiciary system in the US and how it responds to Sexual assault cases. I was zoned out. squeezing on my stress ball because i can't do anything else to control my shaking hands. Anxiety i tell ya'.
"Ms. Harrison, would you like to step forward so i can demonstrate to the class a little". I nod and step forward.
"A few things are classified as sexual harassment in the courts eye, and a few things aren't", I tense at that statement.
He moves his hands and touches my waist, i gasp "what the hell are you doing", i yell. "relax ms. harrison it's a demo", it sure as heck didn't feel like no damn demo, he's caressing my waist and touching me weirdly and my body reacts to this negatively.
Paityn and eletina notice my uncomfort. "Mr. Taylor, i don't think you need to touch her like that to get a point across" Eletina says while meaningly glaring at him.
"You're right Ms. Jones, Ms. Harrison, you may go back to your sit". Before i move he says something in a whisper thinking i didn't catch that but i did. "what a good looking young lady". I whipped around faster than flash. "EXCUSE ME".
He stares at me wide eyed at my sudden voice raise. "what's the matter Ms. Harrison", he says that with a conniving look on his face. I looked at him unable to speak as i could see it happening again. A memory i tried so hard to shove behind my mind resurfacing.
"i did it cause i found you so attractive. you were just so beautiful". I was sick to my stomach.
I say nothing, I quickly rush out the room not before grabbing my bags. I'm shaking and tears i'm unaware about rolling down my cheeks. i am hastily searching for an empty room cause i feel the anxiety attack coming. I see a janitors closet and i dashed in there.
It starts. I close my eyes and i allow my body shake, i don't cry, i haven't cried since i was 15 years old but i feel the tears.
I haven't had an anxiety attack since i moved back with mama. I haven't been triggered till this very moment.
Eletina and Paityn rush in and meet me in my horrid state. Seems like they've dealt with something like this before.
They don't panic, they don't flood me with questions asking if i'm okay. That's exactly what i needed.
They sit on either of me and rub my back while telling me to breathe. "you're okay pretty girl" eletina whispers. "breathe bae" paityn says. It stops.
After my little episode in the janitor's closet we didn't return to class. We went straight for the office to report Mr. Taylor, they assured us he will be take care off.
I told Eletina and Paityn everything. The things i swore never to talk about, i did. Cause i trust them. And to my surprise, they didn't judge or invalidate my feelings, they accepted who i was and who i am now. It was emotional bonding.
They didn't have work today and it was a friday , so we headed over to my house. Mama was working a shift tonight and my brother was just in his room playing video games.
We watched movies and ate snacks and had more bonding time. i really like these girls and i hope they stick around forever.
They eventually leave cause it was almost 12:00am, but we made plans to hang out over the weekend.
