The girl who flew

Chaper 2

JUST A TW, This part has mentions of Self harm, and goes into detail about it.
This story also relates to me a lot.

Kath had been badly bullied since she started Year 7. No one seemed to like her, no matter what she did, people would make fun of her.
She had no friends, and spent her lunches alone.

Kath was very passionate about Music, she plays the piano and flute, it's the only thing that brings her piece.
She would say. The one person who always listen to her, was her music teacher. Miss C. She would always make time for Kath, and let Kath sit in her classroom, office, or the practice room whenever she needed space, and would always support Kath through everything. Miss C was like a mother.

Ever since Kath's dad left, her mum became so self-centred that she barely spoke to Kath, all she did was feed her. This made Kath's life feel so much worse, but at least she had her favourite teacher.

On Kath's way to school, she was debating telling Miss C something or not.
She decided she would do it.
Period 2 came along quickly, which was Miss C's free, which she said she could talk to Kath in.

Kath didn't even bother to tell her next class teacher she was in, just went straight to Miss.
Kath stepped in her office, immediately feeling the warmth, and homey feeling.
The office has folders and books stacked in all directions, biscuits always on the table, Violins with broken or even no strings, and a guitar standing against the wall. It was so messy, but Kath loved it.
"Hey love, would you like a biscuit" Miss C asked.
"No. i'm fine" Mumbled Kath.

Miss C only knew about the bullying, nothing about Kath's mother. Or her self-harm.
"What do you wanna talk about?" Miss C said.
"Well i- i- don't know how to phrase it" Kath said, she felt the tears forming behind her eyes, and the stinging of her arms.

"I-" She bursted into tears.
"Hey, Kath its ok" Miss C calmly said, hading her a tissue, I have Period 3 off. Take your time.
Kath started, looking down and not making eye contact "I haven't mentioned this, but ever since my dad left, mums been ignoring me. She doesn't care about the multiple phone calls, she feeds me, and apart from that she ignores me. She doesn't hug me." Kath continued, even though she knew she was over sharing, she couldn't stop "Because of this, i've been self-harming. It feels so good, the relief after. It helps me let go of everything, i cant stop, i want to. but i cant." She looks up, right into Miss C's beautiful blue eyes, they were forming with tears.
"Sorry Miss, i'm so sorry, i shouldn't of said that"
"No." Miss C said calmly. She got up and hugged Kath. "I'm going to help you in every way possible, we're going to get through this" She whispered.

Without knowing Miss C made Kath feel so loved, the most loved she had felt in years.
