Ten Commandments

"Alison, it's good to see you" Sister Dominick said cheerfully as we bumped into each other in the halls.

"It's good to see you again, too Sister Dominick. So, how was the visit to the old soup kitchen?" I asked cheerfully

"It was wonderful. They just loved all of those lasagnas you made. I'm so grateful to have you here at the Cloister." He said with a sincere look on her face.

"Well, I'm glad that they enjoyed them. It's been awhile since I've been to the soup kitchen myself, how's Frank doing?" I asked. Frank was this homeless boy who lived in the soup kitchen.

"He's doing great. He just adores you Allison, you should go visit him more often. I hear that you sometimes do those old comedy…thingys of yours" She said. I refrained myself from telling her that my old comedy thingys were called sketches.

"That's great. Maybe I will visit the soup kitchen soon, but I've been helping out Sister Rose at the children's hospital. I've found it a lot of fun in these past few weeks." I said smiling at all of the children that needed help there.

"That's just wonderful Allison. Well it's time for noon time reflections" She said motioning for me to follow

"Noon time reflections" I muttered as I followed Sister Dominick down the gray hallway.

"Allison, you have a visitor who wants to see you after noon time reflections. He said he'll wait till you get out." Sister Barbra said as I entered the room. I nodded my head and made my way to the pews.

The only thing I couldn't quite get is why I had a visitor. I left So Random to live in the Cloister of Saint Rose of Lima. I left to escape. I left to live. I left to breathe. I left because of him. I left because of what he had caused me to do. But this has nothing to do with my own personal reflections, so I prayed the act of contrition and got on with it.

You shall not have any other God besides me, so why did it seem like he had ruled my life back then. That he had controlled every single last thing I did and said because of a mistake. And not the kind of mistake that had to do with getting pregnant, but worse. Worse than commandment number one.

You shall not use the Lord's name in vain. Well, we shouldn't do a lot of things. And not saying oh my God back then was a pretty hard thing to do when you were exasperated all the time. Especially, with a good for nothing liar that you should never trust and I repeat never.

You shall keep holy the Sabbath day. I can't even remember going to church back then, let alone going with him.

Honor your father and mother. When he was around things changed so much. My mom drifted farther away from me as he slowly took control of my life.

You shall not kill. So, why did you kill the inner me?

You shall not commit adultery? So, if you really loved me you wouldn't have dated her…would you…?

You shall not steal? So, why have you stolen everything that I was supposed to be?

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. So, why did you lie about me? Why did you lie about who I truly was? Why did you betray me?

You shall not covet your neighbor's things. So, why did steal me. Why did you steal my hope, my dreams, and my future? Was it all just a scheme?

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You also shouldn't have taken my very heart and soul.

But why would you be here. Only my mom knows where I am, so clearly my mom must be visiting…again. That would be the third time this week.

That's when I noticed the tear falling freely down my face. I wiped it away and looked around. Most of the sisters had gone and in silence I made my way to the front of the cloister of Saint Rose of Lima.
