Barbra Jean and Reba were sitting on the sofa talking when Reba heard glass break. Clearly it came from Kyra's room. They ran upstairs to see her window broken, her arm bleeding and Kyra about to cut herself on purpose.
"Kyra, put the glass down," Reba said calmly but didn't feel any bit calm, "whatever the problem is we can solve it" Kyra just dropped the glass and broke down into tears.
"Okay look," Reba said putting her arm around her daughter, "Lets sit down on this here bed and all three of us have a talk" Kyra reluctantly followed her mother's instructions and they all sat down. "Kyra look at me… look at me" Kyra's eyes meet Reba's. "You want to tell me what's going on or should I guess"
"We'll go to the museum some other time," Kyra said mocking her mom then turned her furry on BJ. "Bringing the stupid hammer down… hammer time… hammer time"
"Kyra… sweetie I hated to do that"
"You have a funny way of showing it."
"I was just trying to lighten the moment"
"Kyra," Reba said quietly, "this is not about the museum. You did not start behaving like this because of the museum. Honey how long have you been cutting"
"It's so hard mommy. I'm the one that's expected to go with the flow but the current is pulling me under.
"I'm only one person and I HAVE FEELINGS TOO. It might be nice if someone would ask me how I feel about this or that. BJ, you expect me to wear a sweater even when I'm not cold. No drinks at dinner? I mean come on that's stupid
"With everything going on I feel like I'm pushed aside and 'some other time' never comes because something else always comes up. I feel lost and I feel like the people who are supposed to love me just don't get how I'm feeling. I'm scared. I'm confused and sometimes when I cut it makes me feel alive" Reba looked shocked
"Kyra honey," she said as she knelt down in front of her daughter, "I had no idea you were carrying such a heavy load."
"You know what this girl needs is a girls night out… how about tomorrow… all of us"
"Yes okay," said Reba, "that would help. Tonight go get Brock and the four of us are going to sit down and talk this out and get Kyra into therapy. That's what she needs and she needs love and support right now"
They talked until 4 in the morning.
"Kyra," Brock said before leaving the room, "please forgive me… I had no idea" Reba and BJ echoed similar sentiments. "Understand honey," Reba added, "we all love you. We're going to get you through this"
