Why do you attack me at night?

I asked.

Because it’s the only time you will hold your tears in so nobody can hear you and I can kill you silently.

It said with a smile.

You will try to hold your sobs and sniffs in while I invade your mind and your thoughts.

It said.

But I want someone to hear me.

I argued.

Do you think they care?

It asked with a laugh.

Yes they do.

I said with tears streaming down my face.

Then why aren’t you screaming, why aren’t you crying louder so someone can hear your sniffs?

It asked with a sneer.

You win.

I said while a choked sob escaped my throat.

Shh, they will hear you.
