Silence

I can't say anything wrong if I don't say anything at all.

Haven't you heard the saying, if you're not spoken to, don't speak?

After Jayden's final words to me, I realized how much I hurt him. I don't know what he must have thought when he found Beth in tears. It was my fault. I didn't stop her before it got worse. I was being selfish. Jayden should've known before me.

I made a choice. My choice was silence. I chose not to speak when I wasn't spoken to directly.

I learned a lot from my silence. I learned that my so-called 'friends' treat me as if I was invisible. My teacher caught on to my behaviour. She started asking me questions. I never liked my teacher nor did I trust her. I ignored her questions and shut down her assumptions. My teacher cared, I just didn't want her to.

Not speaking took a toll on my voice. When I would talk my voice would come out raspy. Then my voice began to shut down.

Whispering was the only way I could pronounce full words. If a word had too many syllables my voice would give out. Soon enough two syllables were hard for me.

It was for the best. If I can't talk. I can't say anything wrong. I won't hurt anyone.

When Jayden called me I knew he was testing me. Why would he want to see me? It was a trap. I couldn't be the reason people hurt anymore. I had to shut him down.

Before I would.

I don't do well with emotional pain. Physical pain doesn't phase me one bit.

I figured, my emotions are what will kill me.
