Ep 5

" I thought I saw him... passing in the corridor and I panicked. I don't quite remember what I was thinking then but I knew if he caught me I..... he would kill me "

" That must've been terrifying. I'm sorry you had to experience that." Dr. Kline said.

Pollina was quiet for a while.

" If it's alright with you, do you want to talk about it. What he did to you?"

" I..... I don't want to talk about it..... At least not right now" Pollina revealed curling up in a ball again.

" That's fine. Just know whenever you are ready, you can come and talk to me" Dr. Kline said respecting her decision.

" Sorry" Pollina said.

" It's fine" Dr. Kline reassured.

" Pollina, can I take some blood samples to test for sexually transmitted diseases? " Dr. Mayer asked.

Pollina nodded not saying anything before remembering that her parents was probably worried about her, her dad was probably worried about her.

" Umm... Dr. Mayer, can you tell my dad I'm feeling better now? I just... need some time alone please. I'm feeling really tired" Pollina asked.

" Sure" She heard Dr. Mayer say.

After taking some blood samples, the doctors left. Pollina laid down on her side waiting for sleep to start taking it's toil on her but ecery time it did all she would see is him again before forcing herself to wake back up.

" I can't sleep. " Pollina said sitting back up lazily.

" Maybe I should take a walk and get something to drink. Perhaps that will help. " Pollina thought to herself walking towards the door, reach her hand for the handle. She opened the door but then stopped right at the door frame. Her body trembled and though it was cold that is not the reason. She was scared to leave her room.

" Out there isn't safe " she thought stoping herself from leaving.

But before she could close it she heard a soft knock on the door and froze. Suddenly, a girl barged in the room, closing the door and locking it. When the girl looked at Pollina she was on the ground, her bruised arms by her head bracing herself for to get hit.

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just needed a place to hide for a bit. " The girl who looked around Pollina's age said.

" It's fine. I just thought you was someone else. " Pollina said avoiding eye contact.

" Are you alright? " The girl inquired worried.

" I'm fi-...... I don't know" Pollina revealed. She didn't even know why she told the girl the truth. Perhaps because she was just a stranger and they will probably see eachother again or because just because she might be around her age. Or maybe it was her eyes that shone with innocence, innocence which made her feel she could tell her anything.

" Why?: The girl asked.

It's funny how quickly she opened up to someone she just met. Though there was a lot of times where she avoided the girl's gaze because she was ashamed or embarrassed or stopped because she need time to calm down.
