slams a locker near you, frustration seeping through every pore. "Hey, I'm f-fucking tired of this crap. Y-you gonna back off now?"
grits teeth, voice trembling with rage "Why? Are you serious right now? After all the shit you've put me through? I deserve better than this!
I haven’t done anything to you
laughs bitterly Oh, really? Is that what you think? You think you haven't done anything to me? Well, let me enlighten you on just a few things.
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure Look, it's not just about one thing. It's been a constant barrage of crap, day in and day out.
That was your choice to keep track of because I didn’t bother anybody
voice cracks with emotion "You don't get it, do you? It's not about what you did to me, it's about how you made me feel. Like I was invisible, like I didn't matter. And I can't take it anymore." Alex takes a moment to compose themselves, tears streaming down their face.
I’ve seen you many times put other students down.. so who is invisible?
wipes away tears, voice shaking with determination "You know what? Maybe it's time I stop being invisible. Maybe it's time I stand up for myself and for others who have been treated like dirt. From now on, I won't let anyone walk all over me anymore."
takes a deep breath, straightens their posture "I mean it. No more tolerance for bullies. No more putting others down to make myself feel better. From now on, I'll be the change I want to see in this world."
softens their gaze, reaching out a hand "Look, I'm not leaving you. We're in this together. But we can't let fear hold us back anymore. We need to support each other and stand up for ourselves. Together, we can create a better environment for everyone." Offers a hand to shake, symbolizing a new beginning
….I’ve got no one else…I’ll support you…no matter what
smiles gratefully, clasping Holland's hand firmly "Thank you, Holland. That means a lot to me.
tear rolls down my face i just don’t wanna be alone..i lost both my parents…sniffles and my brother recently…I was sent here…and i can’t leave…so please…dont leave me
pauses for a moment, then takes a step closer to Holland, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder "Holland, I promise you, I won't leave you. We'll stick together through thick and thin. You're not alone anymore. We're in this together, okay?" Leans in and gives Holland a gentle hug, offering reassurance and support
my body trembling from vulnerability, and self worth issues..as well as trauma.
pulls back slightly, looking into Holland's eyes with empathy "Holland, I understand that you've been through a lot. And I want you to know that you're not alone anymore. We're going to navigate through this together, one step at a time." Places a reassuring hand on Holland's cheek "We'll find a way to heal, to rebuild, and to regain control over our lives. You're strong, Holland, stronger than you think."
smiles warmly "That's where you're wrong, Holland. You are stronger than you realize. You've survived everything life has thrown at you so far, and that takes strength. We're going to keep pushing through together, and I know we'll come out even stronger." Hugs Holland tightly, offering a sense of security and support "We're going to make it through this, no matter what."
reaches into their backpack and pulls out a notebook "Alright, let's start by making a plan. We need to figure out what steps we can take to make our lives better. Are there any changes you want to make? Any goals you want to set?"
glances around seeing the fear in everyone’s eyes towards me I want people to stop fearing me
nods thoughtfully "That's a great goal, Holland. If people are fearing you, it's likely because they don't know you. So, let's change that.
smirks mischievously "Well, we could start by showing them a different side of you. How about we organize a talent show or some other event that showcases your skills and personality? That way, people will see that you're not just a source of fear, but also someone with passions and talents." Opens the notebook and starts jotting down ideas "I'll take the lead on organizing the event, but we'll both work together to make sure it's a success."
I-I can’t prform..I-I get too scared
puts down the notebook and looks at Holland with understanding "It's completely normal to feel scared, Holland. But remember, we're in this together. We'll find a way to help you feel more comfortable and confident. Maybe we could start by finding something small that you enjoy doing, like painting or playing an instrument.
i-i play violin…whispers but..I get nightmares..so I c-can’t perform…it doesn’t s-sound good…shakes head…I quit…
softens their gaze, placing a hand on Holland's shoulder "I understand that you have nightmares, Holland. It must be really tough for you. But remember, you're not alone in this. We'll work through it together. Maybe we could find ways to manage your nightmares, like creating a safe space or finding healthy coping mechanisms. And when you're ready, we'll help you perform again." Gently squeezes Holland's shoulder, offering support and reassurance "We'll get through this together, step by step."
y-yeah..b-but if I mess u-up…people w-will j-judge me…and call m-me t-talented…it r-runs in my f-family…everyone e-expects a-a lot f-from m-me..
leans in closer, speaking softly "Holland, I want you to understand something. Talent isn't defined by perfection. It's about passion and dedication.
B-but..you said it yourself..you saw talent in me..but..I c-can’t do it..
looks directly into Holland's eyes, speaking with conviction "Holland, I believe in you. I see your talent, your potential.
i-i b-break my instruments..the strings b-bend..and t-the sound..s-sucks..I c-can’t..do it…my eyes glaze over..I’m fully catatonic..trapped in my thoughts of family expectations…and my inner demons that resurface when trauma does
gently grabs Holland's hand, their voice filled with empathy "Holland, I can see how much pain and pressure you're carrying. But remember, there's no shame in struggling. We all have our demons to face. And I promise you, we'll find a way to help you overcome them." Rubs Holland's hand gently, offering a sense of comfort and support "Let's take it one step at a time. We'll work through this together, at your own pace."
I f-ffin’ h hate my f-family…I hate them so f-much..they c-care more about their reputations than m-my happiness..they c-care more about my appearance than m-my mental health..I hate t-them…I hate them all!
leans in closer, speaking softly "Holland, I understand how difficult it must be to feel like your family doesn't support you. But remember, their opinions and expectations do not define your worth. You are so much more than what they think. We'll find a way to help you break free from their toxic influence and find happiness on your own terms." Offers a comforting smile, reaching out to hold Holland's hand "I'm here for you, every step of the way."
my tears start rolling down my cheeks,
reaches into their backpack and pulls out a tissue, handing it to Holland "Here, let's dry those tears. No need to hold it all in. It's okay to let it out. We'll get through this together." Wipes away a tear from their own eye, showing solidarity with Holland "Remember, you're not alone. We're in this together, and we'll find a way to overcome whatever comes our way."
starts sobbing uncontrollably..trying to remember the last time I cried this much…
pulls Holland into a tight embrace, whispering softly "Shh, it's okay, Holland. Let it all out. Cry as much as you need to. You're safe here, with me.
