(TW//panic attack)

Tommy

I wake up as if I'm pulled out of my skin

'Fuck' I think

"I can't go a single fucking night without dreaming of that stupid closet," I say with tears falling

I sit and hug my knees, swaying a bit trying to calm myself down but the memories won't stop.

' You don't need any more food!'

I'm kicked

'Just look at you, you deserve nothing!'

I'm slapped

'You are such a disappointment

And punched

'YOU are a GIRL, you were BORN like this for a reason, stop trying to change that!'

Then thrown into a hot and dirty closet with the door locked

It's not working, everything is too loud and vivid, it's like I'm still there

'Not again'

My breathing is irregular so I hold my breath in hopes of calming myself

'Help'

Bruise after bruise and burn, whether it be mental or physical

Scars that show how worthless I am

Memories that are yet to leave

Nightmares that reoccur all the time

"Teagan, hey Teagan breathe," a voice says

I can't see through the tears and I can't breathe at all

"Hey hey, it's okay, I promise you it's okay, you are safe nothing can hurt you anymore," they say

I reach for them because I can't tell what's real anymore

They grab me and hold me to their chest so I can hear their breathing and calming heart

"Look follow my breathing, it's okay, it's all gonna be fine," they say as I cry into their shirt

After 5 minutes of crying and reassuring words, I'm calm enough to talk and see again

I don't want to let go but I have no idea who I'm clinging to

I pull away to get a better look at who it is, they look down at me

It's Techno

I cling to him again, burying my head in his shirt

He laughs and rubs my back a bit

A few minutes pass and he finally speaks up

"See, everything is okay," he says
