16.
I was in therapy for a long time.
Slowly, I started to feel embarrassed about
く
nineteen.
Luckily, I look different now than I did back
then.
Plus, it was so long ago, no one would
recognize me.
But I was always nervous.
It wasn’t until my teacher talked me into it
that I felt safe enough to perform without a
mask.
Therapy helped me understand Jake’s
questions, his disappointment.
No one can take someone giving all of their
love and give nothing back.

But I did give back.
I just didn’t get it back then.
I had done a lot of things for Jake, in private,
and I just assumed he knew.
I ran out of food, so I went to the grocery
store.
I didn’t look at my phone for many days, and I
didn’t know about the attacks online.
I had underestimated Darcy.
She used Jake to distort and enlarge the
story about not acting in the movie.
She lied and made up other things, ruining my
reputation.

She said I was a bad person, my awards were
dirty.
Because I didn’t look at my phone, they said
that I was guilty.
Darcy was paying people to track my
information.
They said they wanted my address, my
parents, everything.
I didn’t know.
I assumed that the online arguments were
finished.
I didn’t wear a mask to the store.
I felt that someone was watching me.

Jake grabbed me and pulled me into the
emergency stairwell.
Through the door, I saw people going through
the store.
“She went this way, where did she go?”
