I'm Not Who Everyone Thinks I Am
34.
At our next session, I told Brian everything.
I don't know why.
I felt I could trust him.
At first, all he said was, 'wow'.
I was afraid he thought I was a freak.
But then... he did something that I never, in a million years, dreamed of.
He hugged me.
It wasn't very long, but it was the most meaningful gesture I had received in a long time.
For just a split second, I felt happy.
He told me that he was going to help me through everything.
That he would fix me up, good as new.
And you know what?
I believed him.
Maybe, with Brian's help, I can get out of here.
Maybe.
For the first time in a long time...
I have hope.
