I heard him call me the first time, but i refused to open my eyes. Sleeping seemed the only time I could gain freedom, so I always made best use of that time. I knew I had to stand up, but I wasnt going to. I was scared. The fear I had set in again... It was the fear I always lived with. I laid still, until I heard his footsteps As they made way into my room. I squeezed my eyes shut, and waited for what was coming next, until he dragged me up from the bed with so much force. I opened my eyes and met with his bloodshot eyes. He looked different today. He didnt smile or frown, but he just looked different.
"Follow me",he said. I watched him walk out of the room. I stood up and walked into the bathroom. I stared at the mirror, at the scars across my cheeck-down to my back. I couldnt cry. I had run out of tears. I slowly pulled my pants off and kept them in a bucket under the sink. I reached for my 'play' clothes and put them on slowly. I had always played these 'games' for the past seven years.  I walked as slow as I could out of the bathroom.  I knew the next few hours would be nothing but torture. I finally went out of the room after saying a silent curse.
