The Blind Piano

38

I start sobbing once the flashback ended.

She was n Angel not an ordinary woman

Summer sits beside of me and wraps her arms me. I turn around and cling onto her. She rubs my back as she slowly rocks us.

"Can I lay on your lap?" I manage to whisper

"Ok"

I pull away and lie down on the bed. I place my head on her thigh and she puts her fingers in my hair. Slowly she starts to massage and play with my hair. I realize I have to apologize to her.

"About yesterday" I say

"I'm so sorry-"

"No. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that after you stood up for me"

"No Harry its my fault. I shouldn't have poked my nose in your past"

"I would have did the same thing if I was you . So its ok. I'm so sorry. I promised not to hurt you but yet I did"

"Let's just drop it"

I hum. I start to clam down a little after that.

"Summer , Why do you forgive me even though I keep letting you get hurt?"

"Oh Harry! You never hurt me. Its just twice. You never did it with evil in your heart. You actually saved me. You always did"

I smile and close my eyes. After awhile I open up.

"She was an Angel. My life was never easy and she was always there to ease the pain. "

"That's why she went to heaven cuz God needed his Angel"

"I-i was born motherless-"

"Harry you don't-" I cut her off

"I want too...... My dad always used to tell me that. I really never told me what happened to her. One day when I asked him when he was drunk, he said she was a b**** who runs behind money. I started hating a character like that. That's why I never called Joe mum though I wanted too. I felt like I would insult her if I did. Louis was my best friend since 4th grade. When ever anything happened to me he and Joe would always be there for me"

I stop and look into her eyes. I see them glossy evident that she is sad.

"When I was fifteen , my dad started bringing women to the house. My dad would be drunk and would hit me in front of them. After that he would make out with them in the room. I would go to my room and sleep. One d-day I heard someone knocking on the door."

Flashbacks start to come in my mind and furiously I start trembling.

"I-I opened the door to see that w-woman who we saw yesterday, in front -"

I couldn't speak any longer. I was crying and shaking uncontrollably. At once Summer pulls me up so that I'm sitting. She holds my cheeks and looks at me with sorrowful eyes. Her tears say more.

"Oh Harry. Don't say anymore"

She clings onto me and I rest my head on her shoulders. I hold her tight as she rocks us side to side.

"I'm so sorry Harry. I-I shouldn't have asked about it"

"Sh-he sexually assault me-"

"No Harry plz stop-"

"Let me finish" I scream

"And like that it-it kept happening till I-I told Joe and  I started going hiding in her house"
