Chapter 6: NAKED

            I heard James call my brother’s name Thomas for help. I had locked the bathroom door in lighting speed and I sat with my back against it as I let the cold ceramic floor hit my behind. I wanted to just strip and scrape my skin off. I never wanted James to find out the truth like this. I mean I looked like some sick kid, abused kid. I did not want to be that person. I wanted and always was a person who could someway make myself look okay. Now I just could not lie anymore. It was hard feeling naked although I was completely clothed. My stomach churned from the liquor that I drank at the party, mixed with literal sickness from life. I began to gag as I heard my brother call my name.

            “Sophia open this door.” Thomas scolded me as I rushed over to the toilet.

            “Sophia.” James banged on the door angrily. I could tell he was probably getting red in the face with anger.

            “Here is the key.” Anne said. I just purged my stomach contents out in the toilet as I heard my sister. This was some hysterical life I live.

            “What happened?” Thomas asked as he pushed the key in the door. I suppose he was talking to James.

            “Your father…he umm came onto her.” James said as the door opened.

            I had my head in the toilet bowl so I did not see James’ reaction but I know he was beyond angry.

            “He was here?” He asked as I turned my head to them. I wiped my mouth and sat with my back to the toilet bowl. I began to chuckle.

            “How does he even know where we are?” Anne asked confused.

            “It’s dad we are talking about a motherfucking ambassador, I am sure he has his ways.” I said and then allowed my tears to fall. There was silence.

            “Well if you guys don’t mind…I need to shower.” I said standing up not really making eye contact with anyone. I turned to the sink and turned on the faucet. I washed my hands and then brushed my teeth as if no one was there. It was the most awkward situation because they just stood there and watched me.

            “Sophia.” Thomas said. I could see he was hurt. He was my big brother and he was unable to protect me.

            “Thomas.” I said in a nice comical tone with the tilt of my head. He closed his eyes and sighed. He knew my defense mechanisms were coming up again.

            “Sophia, please.” He said as I turned off the faucet. He tried to hug me. I pushed him away. I did not want to be touched by anyone not now. I was dirty.

            “I am dirty.” I said in what appeared to be a scream. James and Anne looked at me as if I said something so painful.

            “Look I just came from a party, and I am sweaty and disgusting and I just vomited, I just want to get clean and jump into be…so if you all don’t mind.” I said in my classic nothing is bothering me tone.

            “Sophia.” Thomas said almost as if he was whining.

            “Just….go…” I said.
