In the Open

In the counceling office, Lily finally had the courage to tell everyone what happened. She would never be able to thank Anna enough, she literally owed her, her life.

“Are you ready to tell us what happened?” Mr. G sighed.

“Yes I am.” Lily said as confidentally as possible.

Lily spilled everything. Everything from the first punch to the last rape. It was all out in the open. Finally.

In a way it was a relief for Lily, but also it wasn’t. The look on his face was ment to kill. If he wasn’t carefully watched after this, she was going to end up just as dead as she would of when they were together.

While talking about all of this Lily ended up in tears. When she had finished the whole room was silent. Not even Anna had known everything.

The break of the silence came with one question.

“Why didn’t you tell someone sooner?” It had come from Lily’s mom.

Lily exploded. “YOU DON ’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT ’S LIKE AND YOU NEVER WILL ”

“I understand completely.” Anna voice commented.
