Ashamed
I felt that all the time.
I could feel my heart pound inside my chest the moment that word left her mouth.
I didn't even know that word could trigger me so bad, but it did.
It made me hurt so bad.
My head just kept swimming with the same thing.
The same word.
Ashamed.
Ashamed.
Ashamed.
My head felt foggy as I stood to my feet and left the kitchen.
I felt the glares and stares piercing into my back but I again didn't acknowledge them.
I wish so bad to just shout out all the reasons for everything I do but I'm a coward.
I'm ashamed.
The things they did to me in that house I can barely talk about.
I haven't even told my therapist half the things I went through in that house and I don't know if I'll ever be able to.
The shame I feel for letting them do those things to me is heavy.
Remember, you didn't let them do anything.
It was forced.
You didn't let anything happen.
You fought so hard.
My thoughts swirled around my head and I tried to keep them reeled in as I made it into my room and grabbed my phone to book an emergency therapy appointment.
I held my knees to my chest and just stared blankly at the wall ahead of me.
Knocking at my door pulled me from my thoughts and I called out to let them in.
In steps Lorenzo as he leans against the frame of my door and watches me.
I could feel myself getting antsy as he just looks at me and I can't help but feel judged.
I'm scared.
I'm scared that the news of what I did to Athena would make him hate me and I can't face him.
I was starting to trust him, starting to bond and if there's any kind of hate in his eyes I don't think I could deal with it.
"Are you okay?" His words shocked me.
It wasn't something I was expecting, I for-sure thought he would be acting the same why as everyone else; he isn't but why?
I couldn't bring myself to speak. I'm still recovering from a really bad cold and I've been speaking a little too much today.
