'WHY DO YOU THINK SO BADLY OF YOURSELF?'
'BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED TO, HE DID TO.'
'WHO IS HE?'
'MY DEAR BELOVED FATHER.'
'WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN?'
'BECAUSE I NEVER KNEW BETER, I THOUGHT PARENTS WERE THERE TO TELL THE TRUTH WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID. SO WHEN HE TOLD ME ALL THOSE HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF AND MADE ME FEEL ALL THOSE HORRIBLE THING ABOUT MYSELF, I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE SPOKE THE TRUTH. AND NOW I CAN'T THINK ABOUT MYSELF ANY DIFFEENT BECAUSE HIS WORDS KEEP RINGING IN MY HEAD TELLING ME ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT LOVE ME ARE LYING ECT. AND EVEN THO I TRY SO HARD I CAN'T SHUT HIS WORDS OUT. IT BECAME THAT LITTLE VOICE IN MY HEAD I CAN'T GET RID OF.'
'I WILL TELL YOU A MILLION TIMES AGAIN HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME UNTIL I AM THAT ANNOYING VOICE IN YOUR HEAD TELLING YOU HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE.'
SHE SMILED AT HIIM WHILE TEARS SLOWLY FELL DOWN HER CHEEKS. HIS HAND REACHED FOR HER CHEEK WIPPING HER TEARS AWAY AND SHE DIDN'T FLINCH.
THAT IS WHEN SHE REALIZED THAT HER FATHER WAS WRONG.
