Song: Trust- Christina Perri

Willow:

I knew how bad she wanted to talk to me and I finally just gave in. Coralie will just have to get over it. Of course whenever I do appear Coralie has no other choice than to let me take over because that is the way I am. I glare at the woman sitting across from me and see her as a threat. She is trying so hard to find a way to get rid of me and I don't like it one bit. Without me Coralie won't be able to function when she is threatened. I want to reach across the desk that is between the two of us and slap that freaking pretty smile right off of her face. I want to claw her eyes out just because I can't stand the way she is looking at me at this very moment.  

I look away only because I feel Coralie begging me to be chill, begging me to control myself but she knows me and its very difficult for me to do that. I take a deep breathe. "Coralie was just a kid. He was old enough to be her dad you know. He was big almost like a freaking giant. She was just so confused and lost. She knew it was all wrong but she kept allowing him to do it. What did she think was going to happen; of course he would want more; I mean hello what guy wouldn't. She was ashamed to let it all happened, but she couldn't stop it once it started."

I spot the container of play dough on the shelf beside me and grab it. I start to play with the neon pink play dough in my hands. I don't look at Sarah. I know if I do it will only piss me off more.  "So Cora came along and took the pain. She didn't mind being touched. She said that she would be strong enough to deal with the pain and don't get me wrong she took it well until it went too far. Neither one of them could handle what he did. He took something away from her that wasn't his to take...her pure innocence. Cora got it in her head that to make that pain go away that she would turn to popping pills. Anything to make her numb...to make Coralie numb." I roll my eyes. "Harley knew that all he had to do was show her what it would do to her and she would keep going back for more. She got hooked. She wanted it so bad that she started doing other things to get her little fix."

"Like what?" Sarah finally opens her mouth again. She sounds so sincere but I have a feeling that is all for show. 

I roll my eyes at her, my goodness what planet is this woman on. "Like having sex, going to parties, doing things Coralie would never do," I smirk.

Sarah doesn't say a thing as she jots down my words.

"I have only been in the back corner watching until it was time to appear...when she really needed me. I tried coming out the first night but Coralie and Cora both were numb like they both just zoned out...frozen in time. I tried coming out to help...I did but I guess I was still not strong enough at the time like I was still becoming who I was. It's hard to explain. The second time it happened, they were both panicking and trying to find a way out...so I came to her and showed her how to kill him. Then all three of us together set him on fire."

I watch as her eyes perk up at me. "So you all three killed him?"

I smile flatly. "Yes...no way in hell Coralie could do it on her own."

She puts down her pen and looks blankly right back at me. "You and Cora are here to help her...to protect her."

"Yes."

"Do you want to keep protecting her?"

I raise my eyebrows at her, like she really has to ask that. "Hell yes...as long as she needs me."

"What happens if she no longer needs you anymore?"

I let out a light laugh, like that will ever happen. "Then I'll go away if that is what she really wants...but until then her I am." I shove the play dough back into the container and sit it on her desk. We sit and stare at each other for a few awkward moments without saying a word.  Until she breaks the silence. 

"I believe our time is up for today. I will say it was nice to meet you Willow."

I should tell her the same however it was not nice to meet her and I have nothing else to say to her as I get up and walk out of the office. 

Coralie:

Willow came to me only to help me out. I would probably be dead if it wasn't for her. I know she tried to kill us but my emotions were all tangled and confused. We felt like there was no hope in the end, no way out of all the mess we created. She was only protecting me, wasn't she...

I'm lying on my bed in this room with no windows. I look around, looking at the dull grey walls, I know for a fact there is no way in hell I can stay here without Willow and Cora. This room is claustrophobic; I can feel the walls caving in on me. Even the ceiling looks like it wants to cave on top of me as I try to focus on how many square tiles there are. And the only way to escape is through the one door. And that's not going to happen when everyone is watching over my every move.

Marie brings me one small pill and a cup with water. "Here you go."

I hold out my hand to take the pill but she shakes her head. "Sorry I have to put in on your tongue."

You got to be kidding me...but she stands there waiting on me to comply. Reluctantly I open my mouth and she puts the pill on my tongue. I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of Harley at this very moment. He always placed the pill in my mouth and that's what I am thinking about getting my little fix. But this is different...and it's not the high that I'm use too...within the thirty minutes I'm sitting on my bed, I start to get a little sleepy and my body feels like it is calming down, even my heart rate feels slower than usual. A part of me wishes that Harley was here, at least then I would feel a little loved. I know it wasn't real love but it was at least a little something. 

In the middle of the night when I should be sleeping I am up wide awake. They are yelling at me so loud that I feel like I am going to actually explode. Cora and Willow's voices over power my own. I can't think because they over crowd my thoughts. Covering up my ears is pointless because they are inside of my head. 

'She wants to get rid of us.'

'She says you're better off without us.'

'She's not going to help you...you know.'

'She doesn't care about you the way I do.'

'Don't take those stupid pills.'

'I will save you.'

'No I will save her...you two are too weak to do anything.'

It goes on and on until I scream out. "Shut up...just shut up already...I can't take it anymore."

I must have yelled really loud because two nurses come into the room. Hands come around me. "Come on let's get you back in bed," Marie says. 

I push her away and whoever the guy is that is with her. I yell, "GO AWAY! Leave me alone..." I try to fight them off. I am not me. I am not just Cora or Willow either; I am all three and my mind feels like it is about to burst. 

I'm being forced back into bed; straps come around my wrist and my ankles. I know they say it is to protect me from harming myself but that is not going to help all the voices in my head. I continue to jerk and pull until I am drained. I'm shocked that they did not give me the shot like they usually do.

Tears fall rapidly and there is not a damn thing I can do about it. My body goes still and my mind continues to roam. They keep going on and on and I know if they don't shut the hell up, I am for sure going to lose it.
