I ran to the toilets, which wasn't a good idea.
The taps were metal and cold and confronting, so confronting.
I whimpered, covering my mouth with my hand and biting down on my skin, stifling a scream.
This couldn't be happening.
The person I thought that could light me up and help me has betrayed me.
I sobbed to myself, and then my phone beeped.
