Unbroken

I walked to the dining room with Amelia hand in hand on a hot summer day. Her walking cane under her arm. Since I came here 6 years ago, at 10, I've become her guide dog. She's my only friend, possibly because she can't see me. She can't see the scar on my right cheek, my snakebites and my red hair, which is dip-dyed black. 

"The blind and the freak," I heard someone murmur as we sat down, Amelia squeezed my hand and smiled at me. "Stay strong Zadie," she whispered to me. "Thanks," I said and we started eating the pancakes in front of us. 

I remember comming to the orphanage, I was starved and bruised, because of my abusive parents. At first I was ignored. After getting my snakebites I started being bullied. Amelia heard me crying one day and comforted me. We instantly clicked. She was my guardian angel and I was hers. We were, and are, unbroken. 

After Amelia and I were finished eating we went back up to our room. 2 beds, plain walls, a bathroom and a shared walk in closet. "Want to go shopping?" Amelia asked. "Nah, I'm not in the mood today, maybe tomorrow?" I answered as she sat on her bed and I went to the walk in closet to get a jumper. They were at the back. 

After picking a jumper, I went back to our room to see Brad, lying over Amelia with a hand over her mouth. She had tears in her eyes and he had taken off her shirt. "Brad, don't hurt her!" He got off of Amelia, I took her hand and led her to the bathroom before taking the key from the door and locking her. "Don't hurt her," I whispered as he approached me. He kissed my neck as he took of my shirt. He led me to my bed and lay on top of me and raped me, yet all I could think of and hear was Amelia banging on the bathroom door and screaming for me to let her out.
