flashback
I came back home from school, my jumper irritating the several bruises Michael from my last foster home gave me. Even though I was in pain I quickly started cooking knowing Michael would come home soon. As I had just finished making dinner, Michael burst through the door and started screaming about me not winning an Olympiad which was supposed to make him a lot of cash (Michael and many other foster homes used to exploit me by making me participate in various Olympiads and quizzes because of my high IQ) "WHY DIDN'T YOU GET THE PERFECT SCORE THAT WAS NEEDED YOU KNOW I NEED CASH" Michael screamed slapping me, "I am sorry sir I will do better" I said trembling and shaking from fear. "SORRY DOSEN'T CUT IT YOU BITCH" he screamed and pushed me onto the floor and started kicking me and throwing glass bottles at me until I passed out...
Olivia's POV:
I shot up from my bed trembling in fear from the terrible nightmare, tears started flowing down my cheeks as I practically begged myself to stop crying while shaking. I got up and went to my bathroom, rolled up my sleeves, and started cutting mindlessly. SHIT I relapsed. I was clean for 3 weeks. When I realized what I had done it was too late I pressed some toilet paper on the cuts until they stopped bleeding and rolled down my sleeve and went back to my room and checked the time, It was 8 am, breakfast starts at 9. But I was bored so I went downstairs and was greeted by Ava and her minions. Ava said "Here is the pathetic girl who thinks she will get adopted" Her minions burst out in laughter and I tried to get away but they already had a grip on me and Ava punched me smack in the face as I tried not to cry ''Aww is Olivia going to cry'' she said. "Ava LEAVE HER ALONE" Ms Morris said, ms. Morris runs the orphanage and is the only person that is nice to me. "Are you okay Olivia?" she asked I said "Yeah I am fine" even though I was not fine but I knew if I told the truth Ava would hurt me even more.
It was now time for breakfast, I walked downstairs and started eating; Ava then had to interrupt and said "hey fatty cant you see how many calories are in your food??" I couldn't say anything as the smaller kids were also there so I quietly ate my breakfast and went to my room and got ready. I didn't have school today since its Sunday; today I had to go my therapist; I am required to take therapy 4 times a week since I have diagnosed anxiety and PTSD. But the therapist is really crappy so she hasn't helped much at all.
I decided to walk to my therapists office and when I reached there I sat down and waited. The receptionist called my name and said that my therapist is ready for me. It was another hour of her asking me questions and me trying to answer them and in the end she said "I know you are faking it all, orphans like you only want attention so you fake these kinds of things" I almost broke down and ran out of the office and starting walking back to the orphanage with tears in my eyes. When I entered the orphanage Ms.Morris asked me how my session was, I just lied to her and said it was great. I went to my room and started play my guitar furiously when suddenly Ava and her minions burst through the door and snatched my guitar and said "Even therapy cant fix you, you are a freak who will never get adopted" Ava said and broke my guitar and threw it on the floor and walked away. no no no this guitar was the only thing my parents left me with in the orphanage and now its lying on the floor in 2 pieces. I knew I had to fix this so I went downstairs and grabbed some glue and tried gluing it and it worked. But I knew this would make the guitar unplayable.
It was now time for dinner I went downstairs and we all started eating when Ms.Morris announced- "kids tomorrow is the adoption day so I need you all to be on your best behavior when people will come" everyone was now excited thinking that they might get adopted. After washing up I started walking to my room when Ava came and said "aww look at you thinking you might get adopted, you wont, you have already been returned 9 TIMES" she said laughing hysterically. I just ignored her and went to my room where I broke down and grabbed a blade.
Nobody loves you
cut
nobody cares
cut
you are faking your anxiety
cut
you are worthless
cut.
After cutting I pressed some toilet paper until it stopped bleeding and went to bed. Let's hope tomorrow will be a good day...
