BIO WARNINGS ; MENTION OF CANCER AND A SUICIDE ATTEMPT.
Living in the same place her entire life, Fawn Freely couldn’t help but feel isolated and alone. Every day seemed to be filled with new struggles, never allowing for a mere moment of happiness.
But, things weren’t always this way for the girl. When Fawn was just a baby, her mother passed away due to complications with her pregnancy.
From that moment, Liam Freely wanted to distract himself from his grief when he wasn’t taking care of his daughter. He quit his office job and opened up a veterinarian practice for people who couldn’t afford to pay an arm and a leg for treatment.
Whenever he wasn’t busy caring for animals, he dedicated the rest of his attention to his beloved daughter. Seeing as it had always just been her father and herself, they grew to become thick as thieves.
When she dealt with torment from the other girls at school she would come home to be comforted by her dad and the animals that they housed.
“Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not good enough.” This would be something that her father told her each time that she cried and expressed her tales of woe to him and for a while, this prevented any more tears from falling.
At school, she would be taunted for not being into the same things that all the other girls were. While they all painted their faces with makeup and lived to shop, she enjoyed wearing ripped clothes and taking care of animals.
Fawn was a complete tomboy and to the other girls around her, this was a weird phase to be stuck in at the age of fifteen. Their harsh words were only counteracted by the own words of her father, she would not let them get to her.
While Fawn seemed to be happy for the first time in a while, she began learning how to take care of animals like her father. She had a knack with the animals -- it was as if she could understand them more so than humans.
Her happiness soon came crashing down when her father came home one night and sat down with her on the couch, informing her that he had been to the doctor’s that day. He confessed that his MRI showed that he had brain cancer, and at this point, the doctors weren’t sure how long he had to live.
A year later, her father passed away and she was sent to live with her aunt. With her father, the hope that he had given her soon died.
Each time that the girls taunted her by calling her a “lesbian” or telling her that she was pathetic it pushed her closer and closer to the edge.
One day, when she was walking down the hallway she heard a girl whisper to a friend at her side. “It’s a shame that her dad died instead of a loser like her.”
She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes and her throat closed up. She ran into the nearest bathroom and pulled out the razor blade that she carried around in her backpack. She sunk down to the ground and lifted the blade to her wrist, slitting it open.
They were right. This was her last thought before she passed out on the cold bathroom floor. When she awoke she was in the backseat of a van with her wrists bandaged up and outside the window was the Disney treatment center waiting for her.
THE DARKNESS
Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning after a death. When you grieve, it’s part of the normal process of reacting to a loss. You may experience grief as a mental, physical, social or emotional reaction. Mental reactions can include anger, guilt, anxiety, sadness and despair. Physical reactions can include sleeping problems, changes in appetite, physical problems or illness.
