" Are you ok?" he asked looking at me worried.
I didn't say anything.
" Can you please tell me how did you get that?" Mr. Pyer asked.
I looked around and saw you standing by the door. You was looked at him and said, " You can trust him"
But I couldn't. Why does he want to know so badly anyway?
Suddenly, I was gone out of my body and you were there. You didn't say anything for a while before you answered," My dad"
Mr. Pyer looked angry after he heard this but continued to listen to you as you spoke. I tried to stop you, tried to take back control but I couldn't. That was until you tried to tell him how he touched you. You tried to say that he pinned you down. That you struggled but I got back control but I shouted No loudly.
I think he heard it though because he looked with a sad expression on his face.
I tried to save myself, to lessen what punishment I thought he would give me but I think it only made it worst.
" You know that you're relationship with your father isn't supposed to be that way, you know that right?"
I was confused and it seems like you were to.
" What?"
" You're father, he harmed you and made you do something against you're will."
" I don't.... what?" I questioned breathing heavy.
The air suddenly won't go in my lungs. I feel like I was dying. Mr. Pyer sat next to me. I flinched involuntarily.
Mr. Pyer calmed me down.
Mr. Pyer helped me regain control.
Mr. Pyer was so patient.
Mr. Pyer was not an ordinary teacher. He waited until I felt comfortable enough to say something and he always listened to me.
I felt weird telling him about you right infrount of you face but I did. Or did you? I don't quite remember. All I knew was it was over. Mr. Pyer looked at me concerned before saying, " Do you mind staying in the infirmary for a while?"
I nodded and he soon left. I was left to my own thoughts but in that moment I thought nothing. You were there, worried. "Maybe I shouldn't have told him? Is he going to punish me?" You asked.
" I told you but you didn't listen to me" I responded.
" We have to hide" you said pulling against my clothes towards the counter.
I let you take over as you hide in a small cupboard and remained quiet but something about this cupboard was restricting. Suddenly you was pushed out and I in. I remember something that my dad used to do. He used to lock me in a dark room where I would stay there for hours. My own thoughts my company. I always wondered why but I guess it's because I look much like my mom. Maybe he couldn't stand to see the thing that causes all his pain. He told me that my mom had postnatal depression, that it was all my fault. That I caused her to be like that and I needed to be punished. In those moments I always wondered what life would be like without me in it, just like right now. Suddenly my eyes drifted to the things in the cabinet, pills. I didn't really know what I was doing. I wasn't in my body, this time neither were you. We looked as this new person who I never met before was doing what I thought was the world a favor.
