Chapter 2 "it still hurts"
I kept hugging Chris, I hadn't seen him for a long time and he has always been a great friend as part of my family.
On the other hand, I had not answered Ryan's question, it made me a bit illogical that they would continue to worry about me, although my mother's "punishments" had increased thanks to them and their silly rumors.
- Hasn't your father tried to hurt you?
He could tell the concern in their tones, but did they really care? Or was it just one of his games?...
Lea: My mother's punishments have increased since rumors that I am mentally ill spread through the city, just yesterday I was beaten by her
I took Chris's face and looked at him giving him a smile he was worried and I knew it as soon as I started talking and he tightened the hug
Lea: And for my stepfather, do not worry, I do not think he dares to hurt me, I think he is the only one who is aware of the consequences that hitting someone can have, there are times that he is the one who defends me from the anger of my mother
- Are you okay? Where did he hit you yesterday?
Lea: I'm fine Chris, I just have hurt my back and my arms as well as my abdomen ...
Chris directed his eyes to my arms and ran his fingertips over them caressing each mark caused by mother, but when I felt the contact of her fingers, a groan came from my vocal cords, the marks were recent therefore they still hurt...
Chris began to cry and regret everything, they were the reason why there were times that my mother did not hit me because they made her see reason and now that she is not there there is nothing that prevents her from hurting me
- I-I'm so sorry ... we should never ... I should never have left you alone ... it's just that ... I thought you were angry
she said between sobs, she looked quite sad about my current state
Lea calm Chris, nothing will happen, I am alive and that is what matters, and I would never be angry with you that would be illogical
-Come on Lea, let's cure that ...
+ Yes, let us help you ... at least you should make up for what we've done to you all this time right?
Lea: I don't need your help, I've already cured them ...
-Please accept the help ... I don't want to leave your side so quickly
I looked at him and his gaze reflected sadness, pleading I knew I couldn't leave him alone for a long time with the other two guys, he also had marks on his body, how had you noticed? Easy Chris was always a disgusting makeup, for something Luke. ..for something I had to learn from someone else
Lea: -sigh- it's okay, I'll accept your help, just on the condition that they let me see Chris daily
-Ok, let's go before the brands get worse
I let go of Chris's embrace and took him by the hand, I put on my cap better and took out a black mask and put it on in the same way, I would not like someone to see me with them, they would think that I would escape again and I did not want to harm to Chris, he took off his black jacket and I put it on my shoulders I knew it hurt him, he saw my marks so I accepted without any problem and he slipped it on me.
-That hair color suits you very well
I smiled kindly at him and looked at him attentively
-Let me take a picture of you?
Lea: Sure ... although I don't turn out very well ...
-well, but at least your mother no longer marks your face, and despite everything, you are still beautiful
He takes his cell phone and takes the picture, he smiles at me and sees the picture, he smiles even more ...
Lea: And how do I get out? -I tell him nervous I have uncomfortable-
-Awesome salts
show me the photo
hahaha it is not true you are beautiful ... but most of your face is covered and your eyes are crystal clear
low in the volume of your voice
but most of your face is covered and your eyes are crystalline -low in the volume of his voice-
- Your face is not the same as before ... it shows pain and ... suffering ... -he looks down- I'm sorry for leaving you for not being able to take care of you any longer for being mean to you ...
I watched as Chris began to fill with ideas and I hugged him ...
Lea: Hey quiet little one ... I'm fine, don't worry, you never left me, you know that, even if you were there, my mother would always have found a way to hurt me
Ryan and Jackson came to our side, I felt their arms around us, I couldn't stand it anymore and I started to cry, I wanted to die, I had been strong for a long time, but this exceeded my limits ... I needed someone to express myself with I needed a friend ...
Xx: And you got it
I managed to hear a whisper, but I was not afraid, I knew they were not any of the 3 boys who accompanied me I knew it was someone else, someone I did not know
-Quiet little one ... we are here for you
+ Let us take care of you please, we are sorry for everything that has happened, but we cannot continue without you
-You are like our little sister ...
I looked down, I didn't know what to think, were they really sorry? I saw Chris and his eyes begged me to accept them back into my life, he didn't do it for the other two, he did it for Chris, he was the only good thing that I had in my life and I was not going to let anyone take him from my side ... and I knew that, although Allan promised to let me see him daily they would not comply, he still did not trust them
Lea: I need you guys ... I need you, Chris.
-So we are friends again?
Lea: I think that if... - is it a good decision that I'm making? -
