Please Don't Touch

1. Paper Thin

Scrolling nonchalantly down my Facebook feed, I yawn lazily. I was about to close up when I noticed so mething that looked very familiar.

My picture.

Panic settled into my heart as I stare at the teenager before me. My whole body gets hot and before I k now tears spring to my eyes as I read the disgusting comments.

The account was fake but the only person I sent it to was my boyfriend.

I shut the laptop hard before sprinting up and pacing the room.

This cannot be happening.

Not to me!

Why me!

Breathing heavily I call my boyfriend well, ex-boyfriend Grayson.

"Hey, ba-"

"Don't you dare hey babe me!" I whisper yelled. "I trusted you, Grayson. You don't know how much courage it took for me to send that picture and then you just post it like its nothing!"

I was sobbing and the other end was frantic.

"I didn't post the picture! I- I sent it to some of the guys and I guess one of them-"

Did he send it to some of the guys?

"What am I to you, Grayson! A little prostitute you think you can just send her pictures to everyone. I'm your girlfriend! You'r e the only one that should be seeing such things.

"Did she find out?" A voice sniggers from behind and I feel my head vibrate with pain, ready to lash out a

"You stupid little boy! Its immature people like you who ruin lives! Have you never seen a girl in her underwear before you just had to post it, Theodore? You're disgusting, a pig, no wonder everyone just likes you because of your money. Pathetic

But in reality, I ruined my own life by sending that picture.

And for the next three years, I had to live with the constant shame and reminder as the students and teachers refused to let it go, my family disowned me so I lived with my aunt and I dumped Grayson as fast as I could.

4 years later I moved away for college, studying a little bit of law and sociology. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

What I didn't expect... Was for a certain someone to come and change my life. For better... Or for worse.
