It's Not You

Shadows cling to the dim-lit bedroom where teen Sheena (Aidra Fox) faces her reflection, voice cracking like shattered glass. 'Billy, I gotta spill it...' she stammers to the empty gaze in the mirror, words twisting in her gut. 'I'm a lesbian.' Silence mocks her; she pauses, then the frame pulls back—it's just practice, a hollow echo. She groans, fists clenching. 'Billy,' she restarts, softer, edged with dread, 'you know I love you, yeah? But not like that—deep, burning love. 'Cause it's women who set me on fire. Fuck!' Frustration boils over as she rehearses every jagged confession, none slicing clean. Rage surges; her fist slams the wall with a meaty thud, pain shooting up her arm. She curses, shaking it out, stalking the room like a caged beast. Her eyes snag on the phone, smug in the bed's crisp center, daring her. Heart pounding, she snatches it, dials with trembling fingers. Rings drag on; she gnaws her thumb, legs jittering. Third ring—Billy (Robby Echo) answers, voice smooth as sin. 'Hey babe.' 'Hey bab—hey Billy,' she chokes out, the pet name sour on her tongue, tension coiling tighter in the forbidden haze.
