I can feel the familiar pain deep in my chest. Its getting stronger, moving to my throat, it is burning me, begging me to release it. I can't breath, I need to let go. I let out a sob then another one and soon I am flooding the room in my tears. It seems that not matter how much I cry the pain doesn't get better. It still feels like the early days. I'm constantly living in a nightmare.
As much as I would like to sit here and sob the rest of my days away, I can't. I made a decision and now I need to live with it. I get up and look for the bathroom. The first door I open is a closet, nothing to big but it will fit my clothes. The next door leads to a small bathroom containing a shower,a sink and a toilet, everything is white.
I switch the lights on and they hurt my eyes. I walk toward the mirror and what I see scares me. My eyeliner has run down my red eyes and my face is slightly swollen. I wash my face with cold water. Each chill I feel is a layer of my strength coming back. I can't afford to be weak. I look at myself once more. My eyes are dark brown and big. My face is round but not chubby. My hair is curly and dark brown. I won't lie and say I'm ordinary because I'm not. I've noticed I have a spark of beauty. If I play my cards right I can convince people with just my face.
It's almost 6. Dinner should be served soon so I take a shower and wear comfortable clothes. Sweat pants and a long black shirt. I unpack my clothes into the closet and look for any hiding places at the same time. There is a soft knock on my door.
"Come in" I say
Step-devil peeps into the room "Dinner is ready"
"I'll be right down" I reply.
I walk into the dinning area. Again it is white. Two little heads catch my eye, they must be my step-siblings. I won't insult the children, they haven't done anything to offend me. The table is round with 5 chairs. I take a seat next to the little girl. She looks at me with big, light brown eyes.
The warden introduces us "Ettianna , Ethan, this is your sister Zee-Anna. Anna meet your younger siblings."
Ettie who I think is 5 immediately says "Your pretty!"
"So are you" I reply
I'm relived when she starts dishing. I had crossed my fingers they weren't going to pray. I'm not ready to go there.
She stands and dishes for Ettie ,Ethan is old enough to do it himself.
They ask me how my trip was and i make sure to keep my answers short. We are all taking extra precautions to avoid the main reason why I'm here.
When dinner is over I stand up and go to my room. I won't pretend to be polite and help clean up. I have other things I need to do.
