"Don't be a pig," she said with anger and disgust, I could feel the pain from whatever trauma it triggered. I sat there wondering what I said, replaying the conversation I was having with Joey, she directed the fury at me, was it me? She made me question all the feelings I had for Frankie; did she hear me say that I liked Frankie’s body… as soon as she said it, and the way she said it left her, I am not even sure she realized it was said. Joey stared at me confused, ready to make light of the situation but thought better of it. I needed to leave to clear my head, I had a feeling of shame, was I not supposed to feel this way, don’t women feel this way?
