I tensed as I saw the packed cafeteria. ‘So many people! What if they don’t like me, and decide to hurt me?’
Reese seemed to notice my discomfort, because she reached a hand out and grasped mine, smiling softly at me. I relaxed slightly, though I was still really tense, eyes flicking around the room fearfully.
“Don’t worry” She whispered. “I’m your friend, and friends protect each other” My eyes widen, and I process the thought.
‘My…friend? I’ve never had a friend before’
She started walking towards the queue, getting in line and handing me a platter before taking one for herself. I relaxed slowly as I noticed that nobody was starting. Not one person, which means that nobody cared.
Nobody knew. About him, and what he did to me.
I felt myself receding to my mind, the doors slowly shutting as images flash by. I fall to my knees in the cold room, desperately reaching for the closing door. But it’s too far, and the images are flashing faster and brighter, and I can’t do anything but notice them; but I don’t want to notice them! The doors shut and I fall to the ground, staring into the pure darkness that is my mind.

Why.
Why did this have to happen to me?
Did I ever do anything wrong?
There was that one time I lied to my mum, but did I really deserve this?
I probably did.
I must have done something, otherwise this wouldn’t be happening.
It my fault.
It’s always my fault.
He was right.
I’m worthless.
A waste of space.
I deserve to die.
With these thoughts running through my head I closed my eyes, giving up to the darkness.

My eyes snapped open and I sat upright, whispering under my breath.
“No, please tell me it’s not happening”
I stand up quickly, breathing hard, and run down the hallway, twisting and turning into different corridors at random, until I finally make it to the glass room.
I throw the door open, rushing inside and looking through the window of my eyes, breathing hard.
It’s all dark.
‘Open your eyes’
The window splits into two, and I command myself to look around.
My head moves around, and I take everything in.
I’m in my room.
It’s dark.
I look down and there’s a shadow in the corner of my room.
I shout and panic, pushing myself up against the wall, my body reacting to the thoughts and does the same.
The shadow is startled, and it stands up, walking slowly towards me.
‘It’s him.
He’s come back for me.
He told me he would come.’
I huddle into a ball on the floor, eyes wide shut, scared to look out the window.
I peek above my arm, just as I hand comes down on my shoulder.
I flinch and try to squirm away, until I realise the hand is gentle.
‘He was never gentle.
He would never be gentle.
It can’t be him.’
I look up again, and instead of seeing the face that haunts me, I see a concered looking brown haired girl.
Her name pops into my thoughts right away.
‘Reese. My…My friend…?’
