Day 6

Christina's POV:

So, Day 5 ended in horror. The thought of cancelling the piano lessons for weeks was terrible. Then, I spotted Mrs. Blackfords husband in my room, and later I fainted in the bathroom. The last thing I remembered is that her husband carried me to my room... Now, it's morning and I'm sitting here on the breakfast table. I didn't feel like eating.

'Christina? Don't you want to eat?' my teacher asked.

'No thanks... I'm not really hungry.' I answered and starred on my plate.

'I'm worried about you.' she said.

'Emm.. could I talk to you?' I asked. I had to talk about her husband. It scared me.

'Sure.' she nodded.

'Well, this night... when the cat came in my way... your husband starred at me... I mean... em... not into my eyes.. he starred at my.. you know?' I stuttered. Was it rude to say that? I was not really sure. Mrs. Blackford starred at me in disbelief.

'And... yesterday... when I came home... he was in my room.. on my bed..' I said and looked down. The tears were coming.

'I mean... He scared me.' I added and felt sorry for saying this. I wished I wouldn't have said this.

'Christina, I hope you know that's rude. You stay in our house and now you say something like this. I know you're not yourself right now, but that's not fair.' she said and stood up. She shook her head in disappointing without any eye contact. Omg now I felt bad. I didn't want to hurt her.

'I'm so sorry... I know it was rude but I feel scared in the front of him...' I told her and she stopped at the sink.

'You know I don't believe this?' she said. Also without any eye contact. I sat there and felt sorry. And scared. I didn't move and closed my eyes. It felt like a nightmare.

'We have to leave now. Please don't lie to me again. I'm never really rude and you know this. But I hate lying. And second, I hate if someone has something against my husband.' she said in a strictly tone. I knew that feeling, because my faith is that important for me too. So, she left the kitchen. I was about to follow her but I did never hear her like that before. That strict and that angry.

'Come on Christina.' she yelled from the floor. I stood up and brought my plate to the sink. I grabbed my jacket and my purse and so I followed her to the car.

'I'm sorry Christina.' she suddenly said. I wondered. I just stayed quietly.

-in the music school-

I slowly went into my room and waited for the kids. When they came in, they ran into my arms.

'Mrs. Christina, you're back!' they yelled excitedly.

'Omg, what happened to your hand??' Belle asked. Now worried.

'No worries. I'm okay.' I smiled to her. They hugged me tightly. Wow, seemed like I won their hearts.

'I won't teach you like normally. I'll change a little bit.' I told them and they paid attention.

'I won't play the piano. I'll choose one of you to show the others. Are you okay with that?'

'Of course! Take care of yourself...' Finley said. I was so surprised. They were so kind. Well, so the lesson went on and on. I was so happy that they did a good job. They left with a smile and that's all I needed. I went to the bathroom and tried to figure out how it would go on.... I saw my mom in the mirror... How she treated me when I was a kid...

-little flashback, Christina was around 12-

I laid on the bottom. Next to a balance beam. I slowly opened my eyes and spotted my Mom in the front of my face. Oh she wasn't alone, 2 people were around her and treated me.
