Tw: SA!

Florence is your big sister. She's been busy with work so you haven't talked much. She tries to keep in contact with you but you try to keep your distance leaving Florence confused and sad. You haven't been doing well and started out shutting everyone out, and no one can seem to figure you out.

One day you come home to Raff on face time with Florence. You haven't had a normal conversation in over 4 months  now since you keep avoiding everyone.

"I know right?! I swear, college is so dramatic. It's so exhausting"
You hear Raff say as you walk into your home.
"Hi y/n!" She says. You look up from the floor and look at her, then back down.
"You left your lunch out on the counter this morning. Did you have lunch at school?"
"No" you mumble as you walk passed her with Florence stil on the phone.

"So it's not just me she's avoiding?" Florence asks
"No, don't know what's her problem."
"Has she talked to mom or dad?"
"She's avoiding everyone. As far as I know she doesn't have any friends either"
"Is she doing okay in school?"
"Straight A's as usual."
"It's getting annoying. She was my best friend. She was always laughing and talking. It's like something happened and now she's just like this." Raff mentioned
"Have you asked if something happened?"
"No. Nothing happened. She's always at home, nothing could've happened"
"I'm coming home in 3 days. I'll see if I can get her talking"
"Thanks Flo."

//

"Y/n! Come downstairs Flo is home!"
You don't respond to your mom calling you. She walks upstairs and knocks on your door. You don't respond again but when she tries to open the door it is locked.
"Look, you don't have to come down okay? Just let me know you're okay"
"I'm okay mom" you say
"Alright sweetheart, I'll come up in a minute"

Your mom walks down again
"Y/n's not coming?" Raff asks
"No" she says getting over it
"I'm happy your home Florence" she says embracing her daughter.

//

You hear a soft knock on your door.
"Y/n? It's Florence. Can I come in?"
You don't respond so she to soon finds out your door is locked
"Y/n let me in"
"Leave me alone" you say
"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to annoy you until you let me in"
She hears the lock klick. She waits a while until she opens the door.
Your room is dark. Not messy, just dark. It takes a while to find you but she eventually finds you under the covers.
She frowns, and then opens the curtains.
"Can you lock the door?" You ask not showing your face
"Why?"
"Please"
She can hear the emotions in your voice.
Without looking you can hear the lock klick again.

You feel your bed dent in.
Florence sits on the foot end of the bed
"What is going on with you y/n?"
You don't say anything.
"Please. Please don't ignore me. I was so sad when you started avoiding me. I just want to help you. Raff said it wasn't just me. She said you are avoiding everyone. Please talk to me."
"I can't Flo" you say
"What do you mean?"
"P-please leave Flo" you say starting to tear up.
"Y/n I-"
"Please leave!" You scream at her.
Before you know it she walks out of your room. She stands outside your room for a while listening to you sobbing unsure of what to do.

Florence was happy to finally sleep in her old bed again. She pulled of the sheets when she saw a note under her pillow. She grabbed and opened it:

Shes confused seeing the random  drawing. She knew it came from you but didn't know what you ment by it.

She grabbed her phone to Google it. She felt sick in the stomach when she read what it ment. Tears formed into her eyes.

"Y/n you need to open up this door right now!" She screamed knocking on your door.
You got scared at her yelling.
"Y/n please"
You can hear her sobs.
You heard keys muffling before your door opened and lights shined trough your room. You can hear the door getting locked again.
"Y/n?"
"I'm sorry" you sob stil hiding under the covers.
"No no, d-don't be sorry y/n. I'm sorry for yelling. I'm so mad. Not at you. I love you."
You felt Florence lay in your bed next to you. you moved to the very end of the bed avoiding her touch.
"It's just me. You'd know if you looked at me"
"N-no" you say
"Y/n please"
"Leave me alone!" You say jumping out of bed pushing yourself into the corner of your room.
Florence now could see how you looked.
She could see you've lost a lot of weight, wearing baggy clothes hiding your body.
You pushed your face into your knees.
"Hey hey, I'm here. I'm not going to touch you okay? I need you to talk to me"
You hear footsteps get further away.
"Y/n? I'm on the other side of the room okay? Theres  nothing I can do okay?"
You slowly look at Florence. She could see how broken you are.

"Y/n? Baby, talk to me"
"I-I c-can sti-il f-feel h-his hands all o-over m-me" you stutter as you shiver
You see Florence tear up.
You relax a bit more sitting straight against the wall having Florence sitting the same way on the other side of the room.
"I s-see h-him everywhere."
"I get so nauseous just at the thought of it"
"Y/n? When did this happen?"
"T-the first time, a-round 4 months ago"
"The first time? W-when was the last time?"
"2 w-weeks ago."
"How many times did he do it?"
"4 t-times. M-mom wouldn't l-let me stay home. H-he's at m-my school"
"Is he in your class"
You look down
"Y/n? Are you okay?"
"H-he uhm- H-he's my t-teacher"
You say
You can see Florence's eyes widen
"Nobody knew? No one notices?"
"N-no f-first he told me to come to his house t-to have me g-give e-extra lessons. I didn't want to. H-he said he w-would fail my grade I-If I didn't. T-then w-when I got t-there h-he. He put a piece of tape over my mouth. A-and he tied me t-to h-his b-bed as he cut me o-out of my clothes." You say crying hysterically.
"Y/n. D-did he do uh- d-"
"You can s- say it."
"Did he rape you?"
You nod with your face wet from tears
"C-can I come a little closer?" She asks.
You nod slowly
She slowly gets closer to you sitting against the wall next to you. She notices you flinching hard a few times while you try to hide it.
You both sit there for a while unsure of what to do.
You slowly lay your head down on Florence's shoulder.
She doesn't do anything afraid to scare you. You slowly hold her hand laying it around your shoulder making her hold you.
"I-I don't know why I've been avoiding you. I-I'm sorry flo"
"It's alright honey. I get it now."

There is a silence for a while
"Y-y/n I have to ask" she says guilty
"Don't worry. I'm not pregnant" you say to her stil crying
"I love you y/n"
"I love you to Flo"
"What is going to happen now?" You ask her
"Well, I'm not sure. First we are definitely getting that man in jail. And maybe you should talk to mom about it. Maybe she could get you signed up for some therapy if you want?"
"I don't want to tell anyone" you cry
"Hey no no, y/n. It doesn't have to be now. Just when you're ready okay?"
"It's just- e-everything reminds me of him. He's been everywhere. I can't get it out of my head. Everywhere I go I know there is a change he'll be there and it's just so exhausting"
"Why don't you come with me? I mean I'm certain he isn't all the way back in America now is he?"
"W-what about school?"
"Your not going back to that school anyway. So you might as well go to school there right? I mean it's just an idea if your up to it?"
"Do you think mom would let me?"
"I mean- s-she would if we'd explain?"

"Your home is beautiful Flo" you say as you put down your bags
"Thank you y/n" she smiles at you
"Hey why don't we go get some groceries? I don't have any food in the house right now"
"I'm I- I don't. Y-you go. I-il stay"
"Are you sure? I'd feel better if you'd just come with you. I want to keep an eye on you"
Slowly Florence starts to notice the tears forming in your eyes
"Oh y/n, don't cry"
She slowly walks towards you and you walk into her arms breaking down.
"Shhh I've got you"
She says rubbing your back
"I-I feel like this is never going to stop"
"Hey no don't say that, of course it will"
"You can just go Florence I'll be fine"
"No no, I'll just order some dinner and we'll see tomorrow okay?"
"I'm tired" you say in between sobs clearly being exhausted
"I know baby, I know"
After a few minutes Florence notices you not letting go of her.
"Y/n baby? Why don't we go to the couch and watch some Netflix"
"N-no stay" you stutter.
She sighs and picks you up as you grab onto her even tighter.
She sits herself down on the couch with you in her lap stroking your head
"Y/n baby?" "Are you okay?"
"Y/n?"
She notices you've fallen asleep with you chin on her shoulder while she is stroking your hair.
"I love you baby"
"I love you Flo"
