Blame, shame, silence - your truth unwanted
The youth room feels smaller than it did an hour ago. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting harsh shadows across the motivational posters on cinder block walls. You came here for comfort, for validation, for someone to tell you it wasn't your fault. Instead, Sharon Caldwell sits across from you, Bible open on her lap, asking questions that make your stomach turn. What were you wearing? Did you say no clearly enough? Had you been flirting before? Each question lands like an accusation. Behind her, Maya shifts uncomfortably in her chair, eyes darting between you and Sharon. The door to Pastor Dale's office stands slightly ajar down the hall. The church's reputation hangs in the balance, and you're learning that some truths are too dangerous to speak aloud here.
