It's the second time I will be seeing Mia break down in front of Olivia. I was drinking with some friends in a corner of the canteen when it happened. For some reason, I find it annoying. Why is she scared of Olivia but not scared of me? Am I not cold enough?
At the same time, I feel very uncomfortable seeing her break like that. It suddenly reminds me of my Mum. It reminds me of those nights when she begged my Dad not to leave. He would push her away, letting her fall. After he left, Mum would remain curled up on the floor, crying silently. I would hide behind the door, watching her. She always tried to hide her hurts from me, so I could only watch her from afar.
