I sat down and opened the bottle, took a sip and put the wine on the piano. I closed my eyes and played Fur Elise. This was the first song I learned to play on the piano, the first and last song my mom teached me. There I was sitting on my mom's lap... My fingers on her fingers. She closed her eyes and I was looking at her with a big smile while we were playing our favourite song. I took another sip from the bottle. Didididim... Mmm... Diriririmmm... "Ssssst," I heard someone saying behind me while I could feel the cold gun that was pushed against my back. That's where I woke up and opened my eyes. I already stopped playing but the music was still going on in my mind. Didididim... Mmm... Diririririmmm... My eyes were closing, I couldn't see it anymore. Everything was becoming a big blur. Nothing was clear anymore, it faded away. Especially after my mom had left me alone.

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
