"Her name was Mary, she was Jesus' mother" My teacher went on "Jesus' father as you all should know is God" I really don't like religion class, even though my parents are both super catholic. I go to catholic school so I have to go through religion class everyday. We have to pray, sing and thank our Gods for all good that they have done every morning too. I'm not catholic but my mom doesn't know that, no one does.
"Well that's all for today" says my teacher
Thank goodness that was the last class of the day! I so can't wait to go home. Today my dad is coming back from the war.

I finally meet up with my best friend Katherine on my way home since she's also my neighbour.
"Hi Kat"
We're walking to my house silently but I'm not sure why.
" Kat is there something wrong?" I ask
"No!" She replies
I'm a little shocked that she talked in such a harsh tone, I've never heard her speak like that.
" I know there's something wrong, I can tell" I say
" Fine, there is something wrong but I won't ever tell you" and she stormed off.
Now I'm walking home alone, I'm confused, what's going on?
I decide to run since, well what's the point to walk if there's no one to walk with.

I get home exhausted.
" Hi Ann " says my mom
"Hi mom, when is dad supposed to arrive?"
"Your father should be here any minute now, but quickly go to your room and start some homework or if you want you could give it a bit of a tidy".
I decide to go straight to my room and not tell her about Katherine. Besides my room a mess so it will take me a while anyway, better not waste time on some silly thing. I'm half way up the stairs and I hear a door bell. My dad must be here! I almost scream! I run down the stairs to my mom crying and some man I don't know trying to help.
" what's going on, where's dad?" I say my voice trembling. The man lets go of mom and comes my way. He gives me a huge long hug and he whispers something in my ear but I'm not sure I understood. He said "your the key".
"What's happening?!" I start to cry
No one is answering. This time I yell but no one listens. He says something else but all I could understand was "room". I obey, I'm still quite confused about Kat, about mom, about everything.

I'm in my room the door is locked and I'm crying on my bed. What happened to dad coming home, is that what mom's crying about? Who is that man? I suddenly feel angry I scream at God.
"Why are you doing this to me, what's wrong with me?!"
I grab the closest thing to me and through it at the window. I jump out the broken window.
