The Trust Game

"Let's play trust." My best friend Amaya said standing behind me. "You need to get over you're trust issues." She stated holding out her arms.

"You're not my therapist. And you know I can't play that game. It brings back bad memories." I mumbled.

"Come on Sum." She pestered me.

I sighed in defeat and closed my eyes. I fell back. I didn't feel her arms out I didn't land in her arms. Memories flashed threw my head and I let out a blood curdling scream. I suddenly felt myself gracefully fall into her arms.

"Summer! What's wrong?" She asked hoisting me back to my feet.

Tears formed in my eyes. "You- you weren't there." The memories kept coming and I broke into tears.

"Never again." Amaya said hugging me. "Don't worry I'll always be there for you."
