The walls where stained white, as though they used to be a different color before someone cleaned them. Scrubbed them free of their sins. The air was heavy with the smell of medication and cleaning alcohol. The restraints that bound me to the table, bit into my bloody arms as I laughed. My vision blurred and I screamed for help. They said they would help me. They said they would make me better. They said I could go home soon. They lied.
They took me when I wasn't prepared, they grabbed me in my sleep. My father waved goodbye through the window as the two men dragged me into their van. The neighbors came out to see what was wrong. I screamed at them to help me. They turned away. Everyone in my life has turned away from me.
The threw me onto a bed and waited for the sleeping medication to kick in.
"There is no hope for you. You will be stuck here forever. You will never see the light of sun again. You will never hear your mother 's voice or the birds in the mornings. You are not normal, you will never will be normal. You are insane. You can never be cured. You are cursed to spend the rest of your life here. You may think it doesn't sound bad but this place has a secret. Deep in the basement, where the screams of you filthy patients can never be heard"

Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.

"Alexia." Someone screams and soon I'm drenched in water. I gasp and sit up. My mom hugs me and I tensed. "Sorry." I whispered and relax. I was covered in sweat and water.

He walks in and joins the hug. I sigh and lean into their touch. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be starting the sessions again.Complete
Unmask
"You trust me, don't you?" he says with a smile, that smile. It had fooled everyone, even me at some point, and for the first time I want to scream with rage and shake the earth to the core. "Give me a hug," he says pulling me out of the chair that feels like a rock underneath me. I am as stiff as a board as his hands circle me, making me feel worse than dirt. His hands reach between my thighs and I want to plunge a knife deep through his chest. The only thing stopping me is, the knife is no where near. I pull back and I don't try to hide the anger in my eyes. I want him to see it. To know that I am coming for him. Rape is chanted repeatedly in my mind, reminding of the lies I just told and the false accusations I am throwing on innocent people.

Her Devilish Savior
"Why are we in an airport?" I asked him as I feel all anxious and his expression's unreadable. It's the same as it started. Inside an expensive car and next to an airport. "Did I tell you that I love you?" I paused. What is he even asking? "Always...." I replied and for some reason his words made my eyes water. "What is this all about Rapha?" "I love you so much, Angel." His eyes began to water as well. My heart begins to struggle... again. "But I don't want to corrupt you." "Rapha what are you talking about?" I placed my hand on his shoulder. "Angel I'm not good for you. I've steal too many things in your life. This time I wanna make things right." Tears began to flow on my face. "But you're already made things right" My voice cracks. "No... it's not enough." Then he looks at me with those boundless emotions that even I couldn't name. "I want you to be happy. Real happiness not those things I planned for you but freedom. I'm not gonna write your chapters anymore you deserve to write your own story." "Rapha I love you" "No. You don't. You only love me because I planned for it. I planned everything." He explained coldly and it stings more than any other words. "No! I. Love. You. Is that too difficult to understand?!" "No it doesn't, but it's not right. You and I don't belong to each other." "Rapha are you even listening to me?! I love you. Do you know how hard it is for me to say those words? Do you even know that I'm confessing my feelings to you right now?!" "Angel-" "Fucking listen! You're not the only one who's suffering" "But this is fucking toxic! What we have is toxic! I'm toxic!" He snapped. "I'm a monster! A devil! You should be afraid of me. You should hate me!" "I want to" I broke. "I really want to. But how could I when I love you?" "Then stop loving me" my heart shattered with his words. "But I can't. I don't know how and I don't want to"
