Hey guys so sorry it's been awhile. friday i had acupuncture for the first time in 2 months and i'm supposed to have it at the least once every other week so it kinda felt like i had just run a marathon. then yesterday my friends were in this play and i had to see both casts cause i had friends in both and then we went to hang out. anyway, Jillian you were amazing!! haha.
all right, I watch Disney Channel way too much for someone my age. i also listen to sorta emo music sometimes. i love bands like simple plan, story of the year, new found glory, you know that kinda stuff but people at my school thinks that's weird so i don't talk about it too much.
---
"Emilia told me some stuff."
"No," she practically whispered.
I told her everything Emilia had told me and then I asked quietly, "Is it all true?"
She was crying, but she chocked out, "Yes, I'm sorry Joe. I'm so so sorry. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. And I'm not like that anymore. I promise."
"Except that you obviously are. You overdosed and passed out."
"You have to understand. She told my parents about the abortion. I thought they were gonna kill me. I almost wished they had killed me. I was in so much pain, and I just wouldn't pass out. I had to do something to knock myself out, to get rid of the pain."
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
"My head was killing me. It was like they had purposely left me on the edge just to torture me. If it was bad enough that I passed out, I wouldn't suffer. I still had some drugs my ex boyfriend had given me back at school, and I knew if I took a few, I'd black out. I had to do it. I had to make the pain stop. If I was gonna die, I just wanted to get it over with."
I was so confused. I thought she had ODed and then hit her head. Not blacked out because of the drugs. And what pain was she trying to get rid of? "Okay, Cassie, you lost me."
"I know you're mad, and I know it's hard to understand why I did it, but..."
"No, Cassie, I mean, I thought what happened was you overdosed, ran out, and then passed out and hit your head."
"I should have known Emilia would lie about it."
"Huh?"
"The head injury wasn't from falling, and I didn't pass out outside, I passed out in my room, and the overdose was after the injury, not before."
"I don't understand."
Suddenly she seemed angry, but her crying was heavier, turning move into sobbing or wailing. "Do I have to spell it out for you?! My dad did it! He beats me, Joe! And he's never beaten me as badly as he did today! He beat me nearly to death, and my mom and sister just watched as he did!"
I was shocked. I mean, I knew her family wasn't the best towards her, but abusive? I thought back over the short time that I'd known her. She had had a couple of bruises, but nothing too bad, and with all the manual labor, carrying around heavy bags and boxes, moving equipment, I kinda just wrote off the bruises as accidents. Could those have been signs of her father's abuse? But I wasn't sure I could trust her. I mean, I wasn't sure she would be capable of making something like this up, that she was that low, but then again, I wasn't sure what she was capable of anymore. I felt like she had played me the past couple of weeks. That everything had been a lie. That I didn't know who she was.
I couldn't figure out what to say, but she continued, "I know I probably shouldn't have taken the drugs, but I don't think you understand what it's like. Not only to have your family not like you, but to have them actively hurt you, cause you pain. And I wanted it all to end. And I couldn't stand the pain in my head. I couldn't tell anyone. No one would believe me, and my dad would be so angry. I figured this way, the drugs would either kill me, or my parents would have an excuse to tell the doctors"
"Cass, you know, I would have believed you," I said quietly without really thinking about it. I wasn't sure if it was true or not, but I told myself it was at least.
"Yeah, and a lot of help that would have been. Nothing would change except that if my family found out, they'd be pissed as hell. Who was gonna believe my word over Emilia's?"
"Look, Cassie, I gotta think for awhile."
"What?"
"This is just a lot to take in at once. I just need some time to think it over."
"Joe, please," she begged.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled and closed my phone. Then I cried into my hands.
---
sorry it was kinda depressing. I kinda just decided where I wanted to go with this. anyway, will Joe forgive Cassie?
enter the contest, especially for Kevin. You have till Friday. I have gotten 0 entries for kevin and it's making me feel really bad. Even if you entered for Nick, you can enter for Kevin as well and I'll know since you entered for Nick first that that's your preference. if no one enters by Friday, I'll just pick someone randomly or something haha.

  • haha no acupuncture actually like saved my life. my life sucked cause i couldn't get out of bed, i couldn't hang out with my friends or even go to school. i was just in so much pain. my physical therapist even said that there was nothing she could do for me cause she couldn't even touch me. i went to acupuncture for 6 months and she said it was like i was a totally diff person. i just hadn't gone in a long time so he had to manipulate my muscles and stuff a lot so it just wore me out.
