In The Blink Of An Eye

No Friends

As I stood there in complete shock not knowing what to do, I felt like my whole life had came crashing down in an instant. Everything I knew and my whole life felt like a lie. I looked at Jake and everyone around me and fell to the ground in tears. These tears were different than any other tear I have ever cried. I wasn't sad!! I felt lied to and I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

With tears streaming down my face, I put my hands on my face and screamed as loud as I could.

"Madisyn!! Madi please stop. Calm down" Jake exclaimed as he grabbed my hands.

I just snatched my hands away from him and continued to cry. I was so disappointed at everyone. Everyone knew this entire time and they all looked into my eyes and lied to me. I said I didn't want to know who MWAF was because I just figured it was someone I considered a friend or Evan and I couldn't take that pain. But they all knew that it was so much more than that, they should have told me regardless of what I said.

How could my parents do this to me? To all of us? They knew we had another brother and not once have they ever mentioned him. This was making no sense. My parents would never do that. They loved their children, they wouldn't have another son and not ever mention him our whole lives.

I couldn't stop crying!!! I felt like the more those thoughts ran through my head the more tears fell down my face. I had a million different questions, and none of them made any sense at all. Not a single question that passed through my head had an answer that would make sense.

"Madisyn, do you want to step outside for some fresh air?" Asked Hannah.

The minute I heard her voice, I lost it.

I was already confused, disappointed, mad, frustrated, lied to and now the people who were supposed to be my friends were accusing me as if I was the bad guy. No!!! I was done. I was done with all of it. I had gone through so much, I was on the verge of death and I didn't need a single thing to get in the way of my freedom. Not even my "friends".

"YOU DON'T GET TO TALK TO ME, NOT NOW AND NOT EVER. JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO YOU WERE ACCUSING ME OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS SO YOU DON'T GET TO ACT LIKE YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME NOW!!!" I shouted.

"Madisyn, I am so sorry I honestly didn't..."

"DIDN'T WHAT? HUH?? WHAT??? YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD A BROTHER WHO MADE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL? ONE THAT TOOK NOT ONLY MY HUSBAND BUT ALSO MY MOM AWAY FROM ME? ONE THAT LOOKED ME IN THE EYES AND SET ME ON FIRE? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU NOT KNOW HANNAH???"

"Madisyn when we heard it was your brother we just figured..." continued Cleo.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR SHIT FROM NONE OF YOU. THE MINUTE I FOUND OUT MWAF WAS IN JAIL AND I WAS FREE TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, I SAT ON A PLANE TO COME HERE AND SURPRISE MY FRIENDS. WELL THE PEOPLE I THOUGHT WERE MY FRIENDS. I COME HERE AND BESIDES RICHY AND JESSY, ALL OF YOU IGNORED ME AS IF I WAS SOME KIND OF MONSTER. NOT ONLY DID YOU GUYS IGNORE ME BUT YOU IGNORED JAKE AND MY DAUGHTER. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO NONE OF YOU."

"I promise we didn't know. We never meant to hurt you or make you feel like that" cried Hannah.

"OH CUT THE CRAP!!! REMEMBER THOSE WORDS? WELL USE THEM AND CUT THE FUCKEN CRAP AND THIS SHIT SHOW. I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU ALL KNEW AND DIDNT KNOW. EITHER WAY, NONE OF YOU ARE MY FRIENDS."

"But we are your friends..."

"YOU ARE THOMAS? YOU'RE MY FRIENDS? I LOST ALMOST EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE TO COME AND SAVE HANNAH. I DID IT WITHOUT THINKING TWICE ABOUT IT. I FLEW FOR HOURS TO COME AND SEE YOU GUYS AND I DIDN'T GET EVEN A PROPER HELLO. SO NO YOU GUYS ARE NOT MY FRIENDS. AND IF YOU FOR ONE MINUTE THOUGHT THAT I WAS SOMEHOW INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE THING JUST BECAUSE HE'S MY BROTHER... THAN YOU GUYS ARE DEFINITELY NOT MY FRIENDS AND HAVE LEARNED NOTHING ABOUT ME THROUGHOUT THESE YEARS."
