Leon,
"I see you brought your son with you" My therapist Amanda pointed at Kariel with a pen who was minding his business playing with a toy car on the play mat.
I cleared my throat, "Um. Yeah, he's spending the day with me"
"He's adorable" she smiled looking over at him. "Today we are going to discuss your trauma in prison is that's okay with you" she looked up from her clipboard at me.
I sucked in a deep breath and nodded. 
In our previous sessions I broke down me and Kiara's relationship and the one before I spoke about my childhood so she was already familiar with my background.
"Whenever you're ready" Amanda placed the clipboard on her lap and gave me her undivided attention.
I looked over at my son who was racing cars around the mat. I walked over and put my airpods in his ears and played music that he liked, mainly central cee. This was so he didn't hear anything I was about to say.
I sat back down on the chair and looked at Amanda. "As you know I got sentenced to prison 4 years ago, this was my first time being convicted of a crime. Although i'm a strong man, I can't lie, I was scared. I think I was 17 years old at the time...nah I was 18. I got sent to an adult prison and I was the youngest one there." 
"I knew of a couple people in there and I also had some acquaintances but no actual friends. The first few weeks were normal, I got used to the routine and accepted the fact that this was my life now. I was adjusting to the new environment as well as getting over my breakup with Kiara." I bit down on my bottom lip remembering how we are temporarily parting ways. 
"I told you about Mekai right?" I asked her.
"No" she shook her head while jotting things down on her clipboard. 
"He was my bestfriend, I considered him as a brother, we met in primary school. I would go over to his house and have sleepovers vice versa but everything changed in our friendship when I met his ex Kiara. He exposed her nudes which caused their relationship to be unstable and that's when me and her started talking as friends. He didn't like that but I swear at the time I had no intention of going out with her, I just liked her vibe."
"I started to not like him for the way he was treating Kiara and that's when things between me and him got heated. He tried to stab me at school once and then and there was the first time I ever felt betrayal." I shook my head disappointed. 
"I held a surprise party for Kiara and he raped her. I was so angry I just wanted to kill him..."
It's not like the conversation was being recorded and everything that is said is confidential. I'm only speaking on my part, no one elses.
"Mekai got stabbed to death but in my opinion he deserved it, you know how much suffering and pain he put my baby mum through?" I searched her eyes but Amanda had an unreadable expression.
I stared at the wall behind her, "One day I was chilling in my cell and two boys ran up and beat the fuck out of me. They jumped me" I took off my shirt. "All these scars on my body was because of them, they fucking tortured me nearly my whole time there. When they jumped me, the guards came and they separated the so called fight. And put me in solitary for a week"
"They then moved the two boys onto a different wing on the other side of the prison for my safety, so that we couldn't contact each other but that didn't stop them from torturing me. They had people they knew on my wing and would send them to do stuff to me from time to time"
