Walking back to the nest i had a heavy heart. He hadnt raped me...thankfully. But what he had said hurt even worse, he had said what I had thought of my self since I had become a teen. I was unwanted, I would always be unwanted. Entering the nest I was bombarder with questions, most of them concerning the blooming bruises covering my face and body, that was being scarcly covered with the torn and fringed clothing.
"WHere were you...cori...where were you?" Aleya shook me begging to know where I was, and WHy I was so beat up.
"Please let go." I said coldly, I wanted to be left alone, to be ignored, to lie on the floor and cry for hours without being iterupted. My reserve covered face eventually forced Aleya to let go of me, even if she wasnt exactly willing. I continued to move forward, ignoring all that tried to talk to me. I was numb, feeling no pain, hearing no words, trapped in my own thoughts, pushing past all of the confused dancers. I layed in the far corner of the nest pulling blankets around my cold form. Why had he done it? Why put me through that pain? I thought he loved me. No. That wasnt love that was obbsseion. I leaked a few tears, but other than that my eyes were dry that night. My eyes were dry everyday, for weeks after that.
