Tape no. 1, Angel Stewart.
-Miss Stewart, my name is Sarah Murphy and from today we will be doing therapy sessions together.
The lady doctor had paused to give the girl time to settle and if she had anything to say, but all she got from the girl was a blank stare and complete silence.
Tape no. 2, Angel Stewart.
-Hello, miss Stewart. How was your day and what have you been up to since we last saw each other? The lady doctor said with an annoying calmness in her voice that made Angel scrunch up her nose.
For the second time, the girl kept the silence to which she was accustomed, and her gaze wandered around the cabinet until it ended up getting lost in a certain point.
Tape no. 3, Angel Stewart.
- Miss Stewart, I need you to open up to me to begin the healing. You can trust me. I am here to help you.
The girl's lost gaze wandered around the office until it landed on the doctor. It was the first time since therapy had begun that he had the courage to make eye contact with her.
-You can call me Angel. She answered with a trembling voice.
She hasn't spoken since she was found in an abandoned house, and just because she said something so simple now, it meant so much to both her recovery and her parents.
Tape no. 4, Angel Stewart.
-How do you feel now that all this is over? asks the doctor, curious to hear Angel's opinion.
He knows from her parents that she is reconciled, but he wants to make sure that she is, and he can only do it if the girl answers his questions.
- Empty.
The girl's answer came simply and quickly, but it was not the answer the psychologist was expecting. A frown line appeared on the doctor's forehead as she jotted something down in her notebook.
-Can you tell me why you feel this way?
- Because I'm not with... him.
Tape no. 5, Angel Stewart.
-Angel, how did he make you feel?
The girl didn't need to think too much because she knew the answer. However, she remained silent for a few moments staring blankly as if she remembered all the moments spent around him.
- With him I felt fear, security and... love.
- All these contradict each other, Angel. A man who makes you feel fear cannot give you security and love.
-And yet, he made me feel all this.
