The Blind Piano

19

I take her into my house. Shakily she walks. I take her into my dad's bedroom and make her sit. Like a statue she sits there crying. I rush up to my room and take a T-shirt of mine and a short pant. I rush back to her room. I lay the clothes on her lap.

"Cmon go take a shower and change into this" I lift her up and walk her to the bathroom. I instruct her where everything is and leave the bathroom locking it behind me. I then decide to call Gigi.

"Harry it's 1 O'Clock what the hell do you want" she sleepily says

"I need you to call Summer's mum and tell her that you saw her in the bar and that she is with you now. You took her home"

"What? Why? Where is she?"

I explain the full story to her.

"Oh Gosh. Did he you know get into her?" She asks

"I don't think. Her underwear wasn't removed"

"Thank God . where is she now ?"

"Taking a shower"

"Hmm OK I'll call her mother now, she must be worried sick"

"Ok bye"

I push my phone in my pocket. On hearing the shower still on , I decide to go bring us dinner. I go to the kitchen and serve for both of us in one plate. I go back to the room and place it on the desk. I frown wondering why hasn't she finished yet.

"Summer" I call

No response

"Summer" I scream

This time I open the door and walk in. I find the shower on and her sit in a corner wearing my clothes. I gasp when I notice her wrist bleeding and a blade in her hand. That's when I realize that my dad always keeps a blade on the sink.

"Shit" I curse

I rush up to her

"What have you done summer?"

She is no longer crying. She just blankly sits. At once I close the tap and carry her out. I put her on the bed and rush around searching for a first aid kit. Tears roll down my eyes thinking of her. As soon as i find it I take of a piece of cotton and dip it in a medicine . I start cleaning out the blood from her hand.

"Why did you do this Summer?" I choke

I wrap a bandage around her hand. As if she can see she looks at me. I see so much pain in it. It's like all her past connect with mine. She places her hand on my cheeks and rubs my tears

"Why are you crying ? Don't cry plz?"

"I'm crying because of you"

"Why do you care?" She whispers

"Bcuz bcuz uhm why did you try to kill yourself" I stammer wondering what to say

"How can I live Harry after getting rapped. My whole body is on fire. I don't wanna live, let me die. No one likes me. My parents don't deserve me. Every minute that pass by I can only feel his dirty touch. I'm already dying on the inside" she starts to cry again.

"Plz don't say that. You parents love you. You asked me why I cared right? Its because I just do. If you had to die I would have died. Your the only woman I allowed in my life in spite of my hatred towards women. I care for you. I care a lot in fact. Plz I'll help you out of this. Don't cry"

I cling onto her. She holds me and cries.

"Its getting harder to stay Harry. My boyfriend only left me a year ago bcuz I was blind and now I got raped bcuz I'm blind. I don't know if I can take it any longer"
