"Here's my story-"
-
I look down at my chewed up thumbs once again examining them thoroughly
He nods for me to continue.
"Ever science I was little, I was worthless. Unwanted. Beaten."
I swallow hard at that word
"But your parents are very nice people Auri I couldn't imag-"
I cut him off with a sigh
"They arent my real parents."
He grabs a hold of my hand and raises an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"Can I continue, in getting there" I hold his hand tighter
He nods
"So. MY dad would come home every night drunk. And my mom didn't care about the family either. Though I wouldn't really call us a family. Maybe a family in long lost retrograde. She was always out late. Smoking, doing drugs, selling drugs, selling her body... stuff like that"
I took in a deep breath.
"I didn't know what was happening when I was a toddler, I thought all parent were like this. Then when I got to about age 10 I started thinking that maybe I deserved it."
"I ran away from home while my parents were out. Which was always, and that's when I met you.."
"I wasn't sitting at the top of the slide because I was scared, but because I was thinking about how I could jump off that would be the easiest way to kill myself. "
"All the beatings and verbal abuse got to me. I wanted it to stop. And I wanted to go to a place where there was no pain."
A tear ran down his cheek
My lip quivered and I started crying hysterically.
"I think w-We need to t-talk about this s-some other time" I stuttered.
He grabbed the back of my cold neck with his warm hands and hugged me as tight as he could.
