Memories flashed over in my mind of what happened that night as i sat at the dinner table with the rest of my family for my birthday dinner. It was supposed to be a happy night, my family and i would talk about the old times and when my cousins and i were younger. But that didn't happen. Instead i'm stuck here, anxiety filling my head.
"Are you alright sweety?" Mum said, turning to me.
"It's not my fault!" I yelled. My whole family turned to face me, I clicked back into reality.
"sorry... I just have a lot on my mind..." I got up, "excuse me."
Everyone just watched me leave. When i got to my bedroom, i just cried.
"That's right.... I know your little secret..." He smiled, moving his hand up my leg slowly.
I moved backwards on the bed, "w-what s-secret?" He smiled more, moving closer.
Soon enough i reached the wall, i couldn't move away anymore.
His hand went further up my leg until i flinched, he giggled eviley, "I'll tell them all you killed Emily..."
I woke up sweating like anxiety was riding a bike. Why does Australia have to be summer around Christmas! I got up and got dressed for school, today's gonna be grEaT.
"Cia" I heard behind me before i left the house. I turned to see mum holding a bag, "don't forget your lunch"
I smiled sweetly, "thanks..."
I turned around and was about to leave again, "and, please... If there's anything you wanna talk about, i'm here... ok?" I stopped and moved my vision to the floor and nodded.
Mum knew something was up, she always did. But if i told her she would be disappointed in me, that's what he told me anyway.
I walked through the halls with my head down, scared that he leacked my secret, and everyone would be staring right at me. I hate the feeling of people watching me, it makes me feel like i'm becoming smaller and i can't do anything. But no one was looking at me, another normal day i suppose.
"What are you hiding?" I heard from behind me. My heart began to race, I knew he told!
"Oh, ah, um..." I turned around. It was Maddie and Alice.
"Cia, are you ok?" Alice asked, putting her hand out to touch my arm. I looked to my side to avoid eye contact. They didn't know.
"Cia?" Alice pushed, "you can tell me anything..."
I stayed quiet, if i told, my secret would be out.
