I remember the day like any other trip to the Polo Club. I was chatting to Jilly Cooper about her latest film. Prince Harry was playing with his dad. We locked up and grabbed our bikes. Headed off through the woods. We dumped the bikes and off I walked down a track.
"Nice"
That's the only word he used, whispering it into my ear. I can still smell his breath, the fags, the booze, the Sherry. I got a bonus that day for all my hard work £120.
If I told people they wouldn't believe it. They would try to ruin our special friendship. You once said to me.
"No one will believe you"
You were my friend and I trusted you. I believed what you said was true.
30 years later, I realise it was all a lie.
Together we can make a difference. Together we can help.
Together we can challenge Mental Health.
