Pleasing Silas

31

-Sophia Russo-

*TW*

My eyes flicker open, I take in my surroundings and I'm in a bed, I have a bandages on my arm and my stomach hurts.

My eyes wander over to the person in the chair and once my eyes focus i notice it's Silas.

He's staring off it space with his head in his hands, i open my mouth but nothing comes out, my throat feels dry

As if he knows I'm looking at him is head shoots up "your okay.." he says softly and I nod his eyes flicker to the cup of water on the nightstand he hands it to me and helps me drink it "I'll go get you another one?" He asks and walks away for a bit

I rub my eyes and try to remember what time it is, or what day it is, it seems as if its the afternoon or morning, I can't tell.

I glance at my phone wondering how I have it now, but then I remember Ryan had it...Ryan- he's...before I can think of what happened the door opens and Silas walks in with two water bottles

I sit on the bed as Silas sits across from me "why didn't you tell me?" He asks opening the water bottles and setting them on the nightstand near me, I shrug "I don't know.." I say.

"Sophia you can tell me anything, I won't get mad." He says making me nod "should we talk about it?" I ask.

He looks at me "that's your decision not mine" he says crossing my arms, I nodded "I meant it when I said you knew nothing about me Silas." I start off with.

"So let me know you Sophia, let me know what's happened so I can help you Tesoro." He says softly, I nod slowly.

"It first happened when I was ten? I think I don't really remember my mother and father are divorced so I rarely see her and when I do I text my father or mother" I trail off.

"Stay on topic Sophia."

Damnit.

I sighed "he was in my room when I came home from school, he smelled strong of weed I found out that's what it was after I had to smoke it, it was 'our game'." My voice breaks.

Silas holds my hand and gives it a squeeze, I try my best to talk about it without breaking down, but I do, and my chest tightness and I can't talk anymore because it's as if my breathing cuts off

"It was all my fault." I say, Silas shakes his head "no, tesoro, it wasn't." He said, I shake my head (darling)

"It was Silas, it was my fault that he did that to me." I state, Silas shakes his head "it's not, you were a kid." He says

"I said okay." I say frustrated, because if I hadn't said okay I wouldn't be broken, if I hadn't said okay my brother wouldn't have taken My firsts away from me.

"Sophia look at me." He says, I don't "look at me, Tesoro." I look at him. "You were a kid. You didn't know he was gonna do that, he never took any of that away from you." He says.

A tear falls from my eye.

Silas sits next to me and rubs my back and holds me, he helps me drink the water "p-please please get rid of him.." I whisper I want Ryan's touch off of me.
