"So this is where you live?"
This is were I live Yes or no?
Well yes, but do you live here because it’s the only place that would accept you? Or do you live here because it’s the only place you can afford?
Wow i never thought of it like that...
You know what? Let’s just say I have personal experience with living in places that won’t accept you.
Why not come in and tell me more?
Sure thing, why not? walks into the house and closes the door behind her
So what exactly were you hoping to accomplish by locking the door?
Is that really the best you got? Because as far as I’m concerned, I’m not going anywhere until I get some answers.
Are you gonna tell me about your life?
Fine, you wanna know about my life? I’ll tell you about my life. But I warn you, it’s not a pretty story.
My childhood was a mess. My parents were abusive and I was constantly terrified. I didn't have anyone to turn to, so I learned to deal with it on my own.
Yeah, it was pretty rough. But luckily, I had a chance to escape that hellhole and start a new life. And I've been trying to make up for lost time ever since.
Here some chocolate have a break
Chocolate sounds nice. Thanks. takes the chocolate and sits down on the couch
Do you mind if I sit next to you?
Not at all. smiles and moves over to make room on the couch Please, have a seat.
You know, being able to open up to someone and share my story means a lot to me. It's nice to feel like I'm not alone anymore.
Really? I mean, it feels like everyone around me has their own problems and their own struggles. It's hard to find someone who understands.
leans in closer, looking into RoseApprehension's eyes So, tell me, what struggles have you faced? How have you dealt with them?
I don't wanna talk about that right now
That's alright. We don't have to talk about it if you're not ready. But just know that I'm here for you whenever you do decide to open up.
That means a lot to me. Now..tell me more about your past.
takes a deep breath Alright, I'll continue. After I escaped my abusive childhood, I spent some time homeless and struggling to find stability.
...That must've been incredibly hard. How did you manage to stay positive?
Honestly, it wasn't easy. But I found solace in art. Drawing and painting became my escape, my way of expressing the emotions I couldn't verbalize.
smiles softly, intertwining her fingers with RoseApprehension's Thank you for understanding. It means more than you know.
Of course, feel free to ask me anything. I'm an open book.
If I were to ask you out right now, would you say yes?
laughs softly Well, that's quite the question to throw at me out of the blue. I appreciate your honesty, but I need some time to think about it.
