Dark Wounds (Ray Ray and Yn love story)

The caged bird begins to sing

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing

- Maya Angelou

I know why the caged bird sings

March 15 1995

I got out of bed and did my morning routine. I got ready for work and went to the kitchen. Ray was in the kitchen cooking.

Yn : What you cooking.

Ray : French toast.

Yn : Okay.

Ray : What was up with you last night you screaming crying beating me up.

Yn : I'm sorry it was just a bad dream.

Ray : Tell me what happened

Yn : I can't remember.

Ray : Not even a little. Come on I do wanna know what's wrong with my baby.

Yn : I'm gonna be late for work.

I grabbed my purse and walked to my car. I got in and drove off to work. I wasn't gonna be late I just didn't want to talk about it. As I drived the words played in my head like a tape recorder over and over again.

When I pulled up to work I got out of my car and clocked in. I went into the break room for a cup of coffe.

When I was ready I got to work.

4 hours later

Even though I was working I was drifting to sleep. No matter how much coffe I drunk. My eyes kept rolling back to the point I rest my head on my desk and went to sleep.

Em. Pov

I was just working at my desk and all I could hear was someone crying and screaming. I got up from my desk to see who was crying. I walked to the area Yn was at and the sound got louder.

Em : Yn

Yn : Please stop.

Alexis : Wake up.

Me and Alexis shooked Yn till she woke up.

Yn : Aw shit I gotta get back to work.

Em : What is wrong with you.

Yn : Nothing I'm fine.

Alexis : Then why were you crying and screaming in your sleep.

Yn : I don't wanna talk about it.

Em : Come on were your friends.

Yn : I cant say it in here.

Em : Then let's go in the break room.

We walked to the break room. Alexis closed and locked the door.

Alexis : Now tell us.

Yn : When I was 13 * she began to tear up * I.... ugh...I was raped.

Em : What

Alexis : Huh oh my god.

The room was quiet.

Yn : I was raped by one of my old friends older brother. I don't know what happened but its haunting me in my dreams. Now pictures and voices are just running through my head. I don't know what to do guys.

Alexis : I don't know what to say right now.

Em : Just see if it happens for the rest of this week but you gotta tell Ray and your family to.

Yn : You don't know how many times I've tried but its so hard.

Alexis : Its okay this is all between us okay.

Yn : Okay.

Em : Just go home I'll tell the boss what happened.

Yn : Thanks.

We all came in for a group hug then I left off home.
