Masen
I storm out of the house. My hands shaking as I shove them down my pockets.
My mom's words echo's in my head. They sting more then I care to admit. I feel like I can't breathe in that house.
So I do what I'm best at. I run away. Away from all the trouble and mean words. Away from reality.
The park was empty, the chill air match the heaviness in my chest. I collapse down onto a bench.
Head in my hands. I will the suffocating memories to stop clawing at me.
I don't hear Evie approach.
"Masen?" Her voice is hesitant but soft. I glance up seeing her stand a few feet away. Concern covers her face.
"What are you doing here" I mutter. I wipe my hand down my face.
"I was going for a walk" she reply's. Eyes scanning me, trying to read the situation.
"You okay?"
I let out a bitter laugh. Was I ever okay? I stare at the ground. Avoiding her gaze.
"Just...bad day. You wouldn't understand."
Evie takes a step closer. Her hands shoved in her pockets, mirror to myself. "You'd be surprised at what I understand"
Her voice is not pushy, it was gentle and offering.
I don't respond right away. The silence between us is thick. The last thing I want is to look weak in front of anyone. Especially her.
But something about the way she stands there, not expecting anything. Made my tight chest loosen slightly.
"I hate going home" I say finally. My voice barely above a whisper. "Every time, it's like walking into a minefield. My mom, she's...not well."
Evie don't speak. Letting me continue in my own pace.
"She has good days, I want to believe it's better. But then...the bad days come, and it's like I'm a kid again, trapped in that shed. I thought I was past it. But.." I clench my fists. My voice breaks. " I can't breathe when I'm around her"
Evie sits beside me slowly on the bench. Not to close but close enough that i know she's there.
"That sounds really hard, Masen" she says softly. No judgment can be heard. " I'm sorry you're going through that."
I glance at her, surprised by the lack of pity in her eyes. Just understanding. For the first time in a while, I didn't feel completely alone.
