Christian

Violet’s Journal, Entry 23

—last night he came into my room again. I was so afraid that even though I wanted to scream for Christian, I stayed still. He locked my door and the one between my room and Christian’s. There was no escape, except for the empty depths in my mind in which I hide myself when I hurt. He touches me in places that I don’t want him to touch. He makes my skin crawl. I can’t tell anyone. Mother won’t believe me and Christian would kill…—

The words trail off and I close Violet’s journal shut and stuff it back underneath my mattress. Even though it’s been years since that incident, a new wave of hot anger rushes in my veins so much so that I found myself rushing over to my jacket that hung over the back of my chair near the desk. My hands found the small gold coated pill inside and before I could rationalize with myself, I was already placing the pill into my mouth and swallowing. Opium. It was my only escape from the menacing thoughts that racked my brain night and day.

The drug wasn’t working in my system yet and thoughts of Violet being subjected to that abuse for years flashed in my mind. I slammed my fist into the desk, breathing heavily as her pained words from her journal repeated itself in my head. She needed me and I didn’t even know. I pounded the desk again, the sound of splintering wood filled the air. Fuck. Violet. She was mine and the fact that she was touched against her will, had every fibre of my being bridled with such an unforgiving anger that I was afraid of what I’d do to the person that deserved a good fucking lesson from me.

I went over to the door that separated mine and Violet’s room. My hand closed around the cold knob and I heard the click as I twisted it. I stepped inside her room and then shut the door behind me.

Her room was cold and silent as I walked around it, studying everything properly for the first time in five years. My hands travelled along the cool surface of her desk which was scattered with notes and books and pens. She was always lost in her thoughts and books.

The thing that saddened me the most about Violet was how her innocence had been exploited by the people that should have protected us.

Sliding her desk drawer open, I saw something glinting right at the back, so I reached inside and my fingers grasped the cool metal. My heart started pounding the second I laid eyes on the small blade in my palm. She hurts herself. The thought of her hurting herself hurts me. It’s a strange pain that tugs at my heart. One that I’ve only ever been able to feel for Violet. There’s so many things that make me question if I even know my sister any more. I used to know everything about her.
