Thalia is still wearing her black dress and there is blood on it.

I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.

Are you okay? Where is Alexander? What happened?

"You're okay, Jane. Everything is okay," Thalia says with dried tears on her cheeks.

But it's not. I got fucking raped and lost my virginity and I don't even remember it.

I look away from Thalia and instead out of my room's window. I see the doctor and my parents talking.

My dad has his arm wrapped around my mom and Aria's arms are around her stomach while my grandmother is standing next to Aria.

"I would keep an eye on her. What happened was traumatic and from what I told her I don't think she even knew she was sexually assaulted."

"Who would do something like this?" my mom cries and my dad rubs her arm and kisses her forehead. I see his lips moving but I don't know what he is saying.

"There are sick people in this world."

Yea.

Sick people.

The ball in my throat grows bigger and I feel my breathing pick up. The next thing I know tears are running down my face and I feel Thalia's arms wrap around me.

One

Jane

I takea deep breath and shake my hands to get out any nerves. I look at the room number like I do every other day when I come here.

You do this everyday, Jane, this is your safe place. No one can ruin it.

I open the door and see Ellie turn and a smile appears on her small face. She waves before getting out of her seat and starts running towards me. I get attacked in a hug as she wraps her small arms around my legs.

I smile as I look down at her and my hand plays with her small braids.

She lets go of me and signs,"I was afraid you weren’t going to come today."

I shake my head lightly. "I would never leave you Ellie."

She smiles and grabs my hand before pulling me to her table.

She is sitting with Anna, Joleen, Miley, and Mya, her friends. I read the paper that Katlyn gave them to work on and it basically says that they need to write down several different things they have seen that were blue.

I hate the color blue.

Blue eyes, dark blonde hair, strong cheekbones, bushy eyebrows, and a mole on his nose.

That’s all I see and can think. My blue dress with blood on it while his blue eyes just stared at me and smirked.

Chills go down my spine.

Tapping on my shoulder makes me look down at Ellie who is smiling up at me."Do you like what I wrote?"

I look down at her worksheet and see she listed, sky, sea, mommy’s dress, my water bottle, and a crayon.

"Amazing. You saw a lot of blue things."
