Feeling helpless, Ophelia laid there on the ground. Not moving an inch, she tries to forget about last night, but the images flash in her head.

Reminding her of everything that her father had done. Warm tears started streaming down her face. Unable to breathe and process what had happened.

She reaches under her mattress to grab the pocket knife her brother had given her as a gift for her fifteenth birthday. Before he was sent to boarding school.

Still crying, Ophelia opened the small pocket knife and began cutting her inner thighs. Grunting as she sat there, bleeding.

After a hour of feeling nothing anymore. Ophelia headed for the bathroom to shower. Locking the door she knew her dad wouldn't try anything.

The sun was out, he wouldn't try anything when everyone was awake and moving around.

Feeling relieved Ophelia quickly took a shower and headed downstairs. To see a middle aged woman humming a song she used to sing her.

Listening to her hum that melody made Ophelia stopped in her tracks. Feeling like her mother was being watched she turned around to see Ophelia.

Her mood faltered. Turning sour, she threw a plate at Ophelia. Nearly missing her face, it lied beside her broken. In the coldest voice ever heard her mother replied.

"What the fuck are you looking at skank?"

Knowing that if she answered, it would anger her mother. As well as not answering. She was in a bad situation.

Quickly reacting Ophelia bowed to her mother, avoiding eye contact. Scowling her mother told her to leave her sight.

Grabbing the flowers Ophelia had bought she headed for the door. Refusing to look back.
