TALES UNTOLD

"MY FAULT? DEFINED BY SOCIETY "

SUNNY ROWEN (PRESENT)

I lost everything in that alley, from my dignity to the love and connection I had with my healthy body.

I felt like I was used and thrown aside to the road which is exactly what happened. and its my fault and I'll die defending my name but deep down the feeling will stay knowing I caused this pain myself. knowing I shouldn't have walked alone and in the end its me who faced the reality of becoming a SA victim and now I have to shove every sadness down my throat because this is something I am to blame. My head throbs as I stare at the stars above me left all alone in the alley with no energy to get up as tears keep streaming I feel a hand and I see a familiar face and hear that voice.

"Sunny! are you okay? should I call for help?" the distant voice asks as the face finally comes into view. its Anthony. No ,no

If anyone in this world it had to be him finding me in this state. I can't let him see me Like this. Im not a weakling. I'm the daughter of the greatest CEO enterprises

company owner sunny rowen, the next heir of the business. thats what the world sees me as and it should've stayed like that. I did everything to keep that reputation and now infront Anthony ward its ruined. Why? and why him?

I push his hand aside and get up even though I have no energy in my legs as I get up and start walking.

"Hey!" he calls after me as my back turns to him.

I'm already enough of a mess as it is.

"I don't need your care or help. I've survived without it for 17 years I'll be absolutely fine now as well. " I say my tone firm but unsteady as I run,

I run to my house even though I have no energy but it feels like a temporary solution for the lifetime of pain.

And like any day I brush my teeth and take the bus to school but still that emptiness doesn't leave my body while everything inside me slowly cracks unravelling the hurt and nothingness. pieces I shoved too deep down but never forgot. I smile when addie does and I try to engage with her . I don't think she's buying the act as she's asked if I'm alright and I've assured her even if my heart has leaped into my mouth even though I'm faking my smile.

Anger is what I feel the most . that I just can't get over and I need to find whoever did this to me. I might not be able to take this to court because of my mother but I atleast deserve to know who was behind this.

Ricardo is the only person that lingers in my mind who could've done this except for him I don't have anyone else who'd be after me in such a heinous manner.

I've come up with a plan of confrontation since thats what I can mostly do in my situation without enclosing the circumstances.

I'll corner him after his evening practice

But that's for later I still can't get my mind off that letter and I have no idea if these situations are connected but in both these situations Im unaware of the person behind the act therefore the more nervous I get in my own skin. All of this is getting too out of hand and my mess is everywhere. I keep sobbing in my room and my days are blurring together as I keep repeating days

with barely getting out of bed. My phone keeps blowing with texts from Addie.

It's been six days since I stepped out of my room and Gracie said one more day off from school and she'll have to report to mom and I don't want her involved in mess whatsoever. she'll make me feel worse and that really isn't an option when I'm already wallowing in self pity. No matter how hard this all hit I have to learn to live with it I may never be able to heal or get over it But I have to learn to live with it because the world won't stop and I can't lay around crying everywhere.
