Park Bench

Today, I decided to sit at the bench under a tree after my class. Even though the day was cold, I just wanted to stop and look at the leaves in their beautiful shades of gold and crimson. Even though it's almost the three year anniversary of my attack, I found myself smiling at the beautiful cool autumn day.

Then he sat down next to me. I did not know this man. He looked to be my age in his gray jacket with chesnut hair slightly mussed from the light breeze.

My hands were shaking.

We made eye contact for a second and he gave me a smile.

I thought I was going to throw up.

Just another boy seeing a pretty girl. But it's what they do to a girl that scares me. They always look harmless but they are all capable of hurting me.

I can understand. I know exactly how you feel.

I'm sorry he sat next to you, and that you ended up feeling that way. I hope the rest of your day was ok, and that you were again able to enjoy the beautiful day.
