Pibby looks at me for a moment, then looks down at the floor. "My father, every time thunder would sound.... he would... Let's just say he'd stick his thing further in me each time thunder would happen..." I gasped softly, while my eyes filled with tears, "Oh my god... that's absolutely horrifying. I'm so, so sorry that you had to endure that. No child deserves to be treated like that, ever... You must have been scared and so confused... And to think that your own father did something so unspeakable to you...." Thunder rumbles again, making Pibby flinch slightly. I immediately tightened my grip around her, holding her close and reassuring her softly."Shh, it's okay, sweetheart. It's just the thunder. You're safe here with me," I whispered, gently rubbing her back, trying to soothe the anxiety that had gripped her.I noticed her trembling, but I stayed close, offering comfort and safety."I know it's scary, but I'm right here with you," I added. "You're not alone. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."As the storm raged on outside, a teacher walked out of her classroom and approached me."Mrs. Maisy, do you need me to look after your class? I don't have any students in the current block," she asked, her voice kind.I turned my attention to her and gave a grateful nod."Oh, yes, please. That would be a big help. I have a situation I need to deal with here," I said, my voice soft but firm.I returned my focus to Pibby, still holding her protectively."You okay for a moment, dear? I need to speak with this teacher for a few minutes," I reassured her softly. "I'll be right back."I carefully stood up and walked over to the other teacher, keeping my voice hushed."Thank you so much for offering to look after my class for a bit. I appreciate your help," I said with a sigh of relief, knowing Pibby was in safe hands, even if just for a moment.I felt a weight on my chest, the worry for Pibby lingering, but I knew I had to stay strong for her.I returned to Pibby's side, crouching down to her level, making sure she knew she wasn't alone."It's okay, sweetheart. The other teacher is going to stay with the class while I'm here with you. You don't have to worry about anything, okay? I'm right here."I reached out, gently brushing away the tears that had begun to fall from Pibby's eyes, my heart aching for her."You're strong and brave, you know that?" I said softly, my voice full of warmth. "I can see it in your eyes. You've been through so much, but you're still here, fighting. I'm so proud of you."I wrapped my arms around her once more, pulling her into a tight, protective hug, hoping to give her the comfort she needed in that moment."You're safe now, darling. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you. I've got you."Another crack of thunder echoed, and Pibby yelped in fear. I immediately tightened my hold on her, gently rubbing her back."Shhh, it's okay. I'm here. You're safe with me," I reassured her, my voice soft but firm.I glanced around, looking for somewhere quieter where we could both feel more at ease."Let's find a quieter room, okay? Somewhere where the thunder won't be as loud."I held onto Pibby as we moved down the hall, doing everything I could to protect her from the fear she was feeling. This whole situation is even worse because I know Pibby and her father personally. I'm her aunt, and now, I'm determined to help Pibby get out of her current home life.
