Kay closed her eyes. The same images replayed over and over in her mind.
I just want to feel safe in my own skin.
I just want to be happy again.
I just want to feel deep in my own world.
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
On a different day if I was safe in my own skin.
Then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened.
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin.
Kay felt nothing, except for hatred. Hatred for Ryan and what he did to her. Her hatred consumed her soul. The only thing stopping her from telling her father everything was fear. Fear of the humiliation of this happening to her again.
"Kay, it's me, Miguel."
Kay slowly opened her eyes, it took everything she had in her to hold back the tears swelling in her swollen eyes.
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
Miguel caressed Kay's shoulder softly. Kay flinched when Miguel touched a bruise but just laid there silently.
I just want to feel safe in my own skin.
I just want to be happy again.
Miguel stroked Kay's hair, "Kay, please you can talk to me, we're best friends."
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
Kay closed her eyes as the tears began to flow out of her eyes. She turned over so Miguel wouldn't see her weakness but the massive sobs shook her whole body and Miguel knew what was happening. He wrapped his arms around Kay and she cried herself to sleep.
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
