Kayla paid no attention to Viktor as Ella spoke of drawings and inner children. Kayla's inner child was scared, she was used as a football by her brothers when she was small. They literally used her as a football, tossing her, passing her, carrying her across the goal line. The only thing they didn't do was kick her, but everything else was equally as bad.<br/><br/>Her mother never stopped it, she was too afraid of her boys and her husband. Her father thought it was funny and laughed right along. When Kayla withdrew, he got angry and told her to "take it lake a man".  she never cried, at least not in front of any one, and her tears were silent, no one ever knew her pain.<br/><br/>Part of her even tucked that away to a point that she thought it was all a dream. But it wasn't, her brothers and father abused her physically all the time. Her father resented that she was a girl and her brothers just ganged up on her over and over. Wrestling, pushing, treating her like she was an object rather than a person.<br/><br/>She was sad that Ella had lost her mom and squeezed the girls hand tighter when she mentioned that. Still, Kayla's mom was not much in the way of help, maybe that was why Kayla felt a strong pull towards Ella, they were kinda in the same boat. Kayla smiled as Ella described her drawings, almost drawing out a laugh for the silent girl.
