Ginny and Georgia

Letters

Ginny's POV:

I write a letter to Marcus. I thought it would be better to let him know if I'm okay. It felt more right to write a letter instead of sending him a text. I can't let him know I'm with my dad. From what I know, everyone is trying to figure out where I am. I can't trust anyone about what's happening. Not even my dad. I took a piece of paper and a pen and started writing. I told Marcus everything. Well, not everything. But you know, the little bits of it. I put the letter in the envelope and mailed it. I hope no one opens the letter. I can't let anyone know about this. I'll be dead if someone opened that letter unless it's Marcus. I wish I could see his face right now. I go on my phone looking at my pictures with MANG. I miss them. How could I be so dumb? I finally made friends and I screwed up so much. Why am I like this? Maybe I don't deserve to have any friends. I went on Instagram checking to see if there are any updates back home. Nope. Nothing. All I see are pictures of people with their friends having a good time. I didn't want to talk to Max since I'm guessing she's still pissed at me. Well, at least I think so. I don't know. I hear the door close. I went downstairs to see my dad and Austin back home. "Ginny we got ice cream for you!" Austin says happily. I smiled at him "Thank you Austin." I look at my dad seeing him disappointed. Shit. Did he find out why I'm really here? "Austin can you go upstairs, please? I need to talk to Ginny for a few minutes." He says with a serious tone while looking at me. Austin nods and goes upstairs closing the door. I looked at my dad "What?" I say confused. "Why did you run away from your mother? Do you know how worried she is? She's been looking for you for weeks! I thought you said you told her you're here!" He says madly. I didn't know what to say. I looked down playing with my fingers. Do I tell him? Or do I make an excuse? "You know she cares about you and Austin. Why did you leave without telling her? And even worst you stole Marcus's bike! Does he know? Does he know about any of this?" "I sent him a letter and told him but you can't tell mom I'm here! I don't want to see her!" I say trying not to lose my temper. He looks at me "Ginny she's worried. You have to tell me why you're here." He says trying to convince me to tell him why I'm here. "I don't trust her nor does Austin. She's been killing people dad! You think we would want to live there with her? Who knows what she's going to do next!" He stands there not saying anything. Did he know this whole time? I can't tell if he's shocked or if he's surprised. "Why would you say that about your mother? She's not a killer." Oh my gosh! He doesn't know that! He's seriously defending her right now? "You don't know that!" "Yes I do!" "No you don't! You don't have proof that she's not a killer!" At this point, I don't even know if he believes me or not. "Then where's your proof?" He asked looking at me with his serious face. "You really want to know? Then go ask her yourself. Either way I'm not going back there with her. I don't need her to hide more secrets from me." I walked upstairs and slams the door. I can't believe he's actually defending my mother right now! I sit on my bed trying to calm myself down. I took my book and started reading. But I couldn't stop thinking about what just happened between me and my dad. What if he tells my mom now? What if she comes and finds us and takes us back home? I put my book down and took my pj's to shower. I can't let this stress me out. After I showered, I went downstairs for dinner. It was quiet the whole time. No talking at all. I ate my food and went back upstairs. I looked out the window imaging Marcus coming through the window and me talking to him about my problems. If only I could do that in person with him. But I guess now the easiest way to talk to him about my problems since I can't go back there. 

-2 days later-

It's been two days since my dad and I had an argument about everything. I still don't know if he's still mad at me or not. We haven't talked ever since then. Austin doesn't know anything about the fight. Well, I think he doesn't. I don't know if my dad has talked to Georgia about this. I really hope he didn't. Even if he did, I'm pretty sure she would of came and told me and Austin to pack our things and leave. Whatever she does, I'm not going back home with her. I hear my dad calling me downstairs for breakfast. I got out of my room and walked downstairs. He gives me my plate. I smiled and took my plate. I started eating. I wanted to ask him if he told my mom anything but I didn't want to bring it up in front of Austin. "Oh yeah there was a letter for you" My dad says while giving me the letter. "Oh" I say taking the letter from him. I looked at the envolpe. It's from Marcus. Wait does that mean he saw my letter? Oh please tell me he didn't tell anyone I wrote to him. Or else they would ask him to ask me where I am. I finished my food and went upstairs to my room. I opened the letter.

Dear Ginny,

It's nice knowing you're safe. Max is still pissed off which I'm guessing it's because of her 'so sad' break up with sophie. Honestly don't worry about her. She doesn't need you. You're better off. Everyone in the neighborhood has been looking for you. So far, I don't think they know. By the time this letter is sent, things might change but I'll keep you updated. You know how hard it is not being able to climb through your window and talking to you? I think I have a habit doing that now. Abby has been really different lately too. She hasn't talk to Max. Still ignoring each other. Girl drama is so weird. Anyways, are you planning on coming home? Pretty sure Max misses you. After I told her you weren't here she seem more different. Hope you're doing good.

Sincerely,

Marcus

Wow. So I guess not much has changed? I mean, I thought Max and Abby would be good now? I guess I'm wrong. I mean, they haven't been posting about each other so it kind of makes sense. I put his letter in my bag and takes a paper and started writing back to him.

Dear Marcus,

I'm doing good. Don't worry about me. Do you think Max will ever forgive me?  I mean, I've never had friends before so I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. I tried talking to her but it never worked. Definitely backfired. Honestly, I hope her and Abby will be fine again. I don't want to be the one who ruining their friendship. Even though I hate Abby with all my heart I still think it would be better if her and Max are talking. So what have you been up too? Anything new at home? Keep me updated on what's happening back home.

Sincerely,

Ginny

I put the letter in the envelope and writes down the address so it can go to Marcus's house. I take the envelope and walk outside of my house and puts it in the mailbox. I look around and sees my mom. Shit. What the fuck is she here? I ran back inside and looked for Austin. I find Austin on the couch watching t.v. I ran over to him "Austin we have to hide. Georgia is here." I say turning off the t.v. Austin got up and ran to our room. I locked the door and closed the windows. "We have to be quiet okay?" I whispered to Austin. He nods. I hear my dad answer the door while Austin and I were hiding under the bed.
