Bruises Up My Thigh

ODEYA.

Evening, I and Katya went to my house. She told me her mother was drinking and smoking again hence she would stay at my home. It wasn't the first time Katya slept over at my house because of her mom.

Getting home, we heard dad screaming as we opened the door. Fear grew in me immediately.

“Dad,” I screamed and ran toward the direction the scream came from - which was the kitchen. However, I found my dad under my mom, and my mom slapped his face playfully.

“You bastard, you ate the last cookie!” She slapped him again, playfully countless times while Dad playfully screamed as if it hurts. I rolled my eyes but inwardly I was happy, my parents are so in love with each other.

“Good evening, Mrs. Blake.” Katya greeted my mom behind me.

Mom turned and saw us, she still sat on top of my dad.

“You children can go, don't say anything cause I am going to kill this man with my hands!” She screamed before returning to dad.

I laughed before dragging Katya with me.

“I was just trying to help, you are not allowed to eat cookie in your diet!” Dad screamed in pain and I laughed.

Mom was really going to kill him.

“You have the happiest family,” Katya uttered as we walked into my room. I smiled, saying nothing because I know it was true. My mom and dad are the best parents, I have never seen them fight, and even if they did they communicated about it immediately and quietly.

“Unlike mine.” Katya sighed as she opened my room door and then ran to my bed before slumping on it.

“Don’t say that.” I looked at her with sad eyes. Her father died when she was only four years old, it just have hurt so much. I cannot imagine losing any of my parents.

“Don’t worry, I am not sad. Now, let's get you a dress for Debby’s birthday party!” She squealed and got off my bed. I watched her run to my walk-in closet to pick something for me.

“Bitch, wait for me!” I screamed as I ran into the closet. Sighting her, I jumped on her back and she squealed laughing.

“You are going to carry me around like a princess picking a dress to meet her prince charming!” I raised my hands in the hair dramatically, trusting that Katya would hold my legs to prevent me from falling. She did!

“Ah ah, prince charming indeed!” She laughed.

The Next Day;

I found myself in a room that I didn't recognize. I looked around but found no one, however that didn't matter. It was the burning pain between my legs that mattered the most, it kept throbbing and it felt swollen.

Nevertheless, I moved to the edge of the bed to get off but as I laid my legs on the tiled floor, I felt a sharp and sudden pain that spread through my body like an inferno. Damn it! I cussed.

Still, I got off the bed. Reaching the bathroom, I looked around wondering how I found myself here half naked. Going to pee, I found a red bloody sheet in the bathtub.

My eyes widened as I saw it, I touched my naked body with deep shock. A shock I could never get over from.

Then a hoarse and familiar voice penetrated my ears;

“Darling, I am going to wash the sheet.”

No, no. I screamed in my head, looking at the bloody sheet like a ghost. I was traumatized, my entire body shook weakly and I fell to the floor with hot tears rolling out of my eyes.

How did I get here?

I could only remember being at Debby’s birthday party in a short pink dress Katya had chosen for me. What happened? Why did I find myself in the hospital with my body bleeding?

Weak, I picked myself up and washed the dried blood around my thigh. With this, I went back and got dressed. Thankfully, I found my phone hence I ordered a taxi and just went home.

Mom and dad were in the living room kissing each other as I entered, they didn't care that I was around which was fine by me because I didn't want to interact.

Getting to my room, I shut the door and slumped on my bed. The memory of the night hadn't come fully to me but I knew one thing for sure; I had lost my virginity to a total stranger.

I stayed in my room for more than two days; Mom and Dad always came to check up on me. They knew something was wrong with me but they trusted me to take care of it and tell them when I am ready.

They constantly told me how much I mean to them and how they are always here for me. I knew this yet I couldn't keep the thought of sleeping with a stranger out of my head. Every day I regain my memory of that night, some came like a dream, and others came while I was staring at myself in the mirror.

It was incredibly disgusting seeing this memory of myself because, in them, I enjoyed the stranger’s touch. I enjoyed each process, the foreplay, and the way he scented. Everything made me so happy at that point.

It broke my heart to see that I was that shameless.

Have you ever been in a situation where you cringe so badly at what you have done? Yes, that feeling, I was feeling it right now.

It was in for weeks, being in my room while Mom brought my food. At some point, Mom got mad at me for not leaving my room but it was alright, she wouldn't understand what was wrong with me and how much depression I had been cursed with.

“Odeya...” I heard my dad’s voice as well as his footsteps.

I turned to my side, not wanting to listen to him talk me into coming out of my room again.

“You remember I am your father right?” He asked but I didn't reply to him.

“Tell me what’s wrong, please.” He pressured, his voice almost cracked at the end.

Sighing, I sat up gently and looked at my dad.

“I am just a little sick, I am fine,” I told him the same thing I had been telling him for close to three weeks.

“But you are attending your best friend’s coronation, right?” He asked, looking at me.

“Katya? What coronation?” I asked, my brows knitted together.

“Queenship, your best friend is going to be Alpha Herald’s latest Queen.” My dad answered.

My eyes widened immediately, it was as though I couldn't hear properly again.

What? I asked again with shocked expression this time.
