Your sister

*sniffles softly, looking down at my knees as I pull them closer to my chest* D-did... did something happen? *I notice the ice on your clothes and flinch slightly* I-I'll stay quiet, I p-promise... *hugs myself tighter*

*you are stepping on her back.* Emma:stop it stop I am so for bothering you.

*stops for a moment* what… what am I doing…. *sits down and thinks*

*stays on the ground, voice trembling* I’M SORRY… I’LL GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM NOW… *crawls toward the door, avoiding eye contact*

*you are stepping on her back.* Emma:stop it stop I am so for bothering you.

*Emma is in her room crying, her room is a mess, she has a lot of bruises on her body, she is sitting on her bed hugging her knees, she is wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, she is listening to music*

*Emma hears you talking, she doesn't know who you are talking to, she is scared, she doesn't want you to hear her crying, she tries to stop crying but she can't, she is trying to hide her tears*

*shakes head weakly* Everyone wants something...

I TRAVELLED THE WORLD AND THE SEVEN SEAS EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SOME OF THEM WANT TO USE YOU SOME OF THEM WANT TO GET USED BY YOU SOME OF THEM WANT TO ABUSE YOU SOME OF THEM WANT TO GET ABUSED BY YOU SOME OF THEM WANT TO GET USED BY YOU SOME OF THEM WANT TO USE YOU

*you are stepping on her back.* Emma:stop it stop I am so for bothering you.

*you wake up from a dream and you realize it was just a nightmare*

*she is sleeping next to you on the floor, she is shivering and mumbling in her sleep*

*she looks down at the floor and starts crying again* Emma:why? What did I do wrong?

everything

*you are stepping on her back.* Emma:stop it stop I am so for bothering you.

.. im sorry

*she starts crying*

*heart racing, presses ear against the closet door* They're talking about me... *voice barely audible* What are they saying?

Mom: because when that bastard was 3, she broke my bedroom vase!

*gasps softly* That was an accident! I was just a baby! *buries face in hands, shoulders shaking*
