The memory is still very vivid.</p><p><br/></p><p>I cut Jack open.</p><p>Jack loved to eat... a lot.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I'd always been curious about why.</p><p><br/></p><p>So that day, I fed Jack more than usual. Then I wanted to see where all that food went.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I did.</p><p><br/></p><p>I ran inside to call Mommy and show her what I'd discovered.</p><p><br/></p><p>She looked at me differently that day.</p><p><br/></p><p>Like she was...</p><p><br/></p><p>scared.</p><p><br/></p><p>I didn't understand why.</p><p>I just wanted to know where all the food went.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Well, I learnt a valuable lesson that day.</strong></p><p><em><strong>"Not everyone would be comfortable with what you do"</strong></em></p><p><br/></p><p>Mommy cleaned everything up, buried Jack somewhere, apologized to the neighbours and told them she'd accidentally hit the dog.</p><p>Then paid them off to make sure it gets buried.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dad didn't say anything when he got back.</p><p>He just came into my room that night while I was playing games.</p><p><br/></p><p>He stared at me.</p><p>For a long time.</p><p>Then he walked out.</p><p><br/></p><p>After that, they started taking me to therapy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Lots of therapy.</p><p><br/></p><p>I hated it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Those dullards were always trying to pry into my brain, asking me questions that made absolutely no sense.</p><p><br/></p><p>I barely said anything to any of them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Years went by like that.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then one day, I finally lost my patience with one of them.</p><p><br/></p><p>She was terrified.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was 14 I guess </p><p>I threatened her</p><p><br/></p><p>I held her by her neck and squeezed so hard I felt her vein pick up speed, it was satisfying seeing the way blood flooded her eyes and she was gasping for breath.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was so pretty </p><p>I want to see more of that </p><p>I need to see more of that </p><p><br/></p><p>I said a lot of gibberish about threatening to ruin her and her entire career if she ever mentioned that to anyone, </p><p>Well she slammed me with</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Personality disorder.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>And a bunch of other words I couldn't be bothered to remember.</p><p><br/></p><p>That was the last time I saw her.</p><p><br/></p><p>My dad has money.</p><p>A lot of it.</p><p>So, of course, she knew better than to cross us.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eventually, I told Mom I'd behave if she stopped the therapy.</p><p><br/></p><p>She agreed.</p><p><br/></p><p>At least, I thought she did...."</p><p><br/></p><p>I stopped talking and turned to her</p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>"What are you trying to do?"</p><p><br/></p><p>I smiled adjusting to face her properly.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Come on, pretty girl.
