My Delayed Agony Finally Faded

I have Delayed Pain Syndrome.

When people yelled at me, I just said, "Okay."

When they pushed me around, I said, "Okay," too.

When my parents abandoned me, I said okay.

Even when my high school classmates cornered me in the restroom, I still said okay.

Physical pain didn't exist in my world. That was my reality, until I met Chloe and Nathan.

One was my best friend who always shielded me, and the other was my boyfriend who looked at me as if I were his entire world.

Chloe loved to tap my forehead, sighing in frustration.
