Opposites attract

Parents weekend (pt.2)

Wednesday's pov:

We walk out to the quad one more time there Enid notices us. She smiles brightly and runs over to give me a hug. Her mom then yells for her to get back.
-"sorry! I just wanted to say hi, hi Mr. And Mrs. Addams oh and you must be pugsley?"
She asks shaking their hands and then running off.
-"now who was that?"
My mom asks with slight distaste. I think for a moment and then look back up at my mother.
-"a friend."
-"a friend!? Oh Tish isn't this just swell?"
My father asks happily.
-"yes...quite."
We get in the hearse and my father happily asks me questions about Enid and if I'd made other friends as well.

Enid's pov:

-"who was that you were talking too?"
My mom asks distrustingly as she watches Wednesdays family enter their car.
-"oh just a friend, I wanted to meet her family"
-"hmph I don't like that girl"
-"uh excuse me?"
-"I don't like the looks of her. She didn't even hug ya back! Oh enie don't tell me this is another one of those fake friendships where they don't even like ya back"
I bite my lip and look down, my eyes start to sting from holding back tears.
-"you can't just call random acquaintances friends"
-"r-right..well I'm pretty sure me and Wednesday are actually friends?"
I say, sounding more like a question then I intended. My mom rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
-"come now, join me and ya brothers"
-"yes mother"
I mumble as I follow.

Wednesday's pov:

Soon we arrive in front of the dreaded building and make our way inside.
-"so! Who wants to start?"
The therapist asks bluntly. It's clear she's getting more and more annoyed with my presence and lack of progress. My parents exchange a look but no one says anything. The therapist clears her throat.
-"maybe we can start with what it's like having Wednesday away from home"
It remains quiet until Pugsley suddenly speaks up.
-"I mean..for me I-it's been hard? Not having Wednesday around"
I look at him, hiding my shock. He looks up at the therapist and smiles.
-"I never thought I'd miss being waterboarded do much"
-"um uh huh..."
She says clearly uncomfortable.
-"how about for you two?"
She asks referring to my parents, hopeful that they'd have a better response. My parents hold hands.
-"it's been torture for us too.."
My mom says. What bull shit.
-"of cara mi"
My father says as he starts kissing her hand and up her arm.
-"stop"
I hear Pugsley mumble quietly. Their kissing continues and gets louder.
-"enough!"
I yell, and they quickly stop. I stand up with my fathers police file in tact. I face him and my mother.
-"you have a secret. A secret that needs to be addressed"
They look confused.
-"who was Garret Gates? And why are you accused of murdering him?"
I ask sternly, raising my voice. My mother looks at me hiding shock and fear in her eyes.
-"those charges were dropped."
She says sternly.
-"maybe we should just tell her"
My father says. My mom stands up angrily and my father follows, though he's not upset at all.
-"I refuse to talk about a decades old which hint with you right now. This is not the time OR the place!"
She says, looking down at me with fury in her eyes.
-"a-actually this is exactly the place Mrs. Addams, I've found that-"
-"doctor! I will not address this any longer"
My mom says angrily.
-"fine then. If you refuse to tell me the truth I'll just have to excavate it myself"
I say grabbing my bag and storming out of the room.
-"Wednesday!"
My mom yelled and I instantly turn to her. Matching her fury.
-"your the one who INSISTED I go to this school. Did you really think I wouldn't find out your secret?"
She backs up a bit. My father and pugsley finally meet us outside.
-"you don't know the full story"
She says trying to hide her nervousness. We have a brief stare down in silence and then turn to walk away from each other. I'll walk back to school I don't care. Parent's weekend will be over with in two days then I'll never have to see them again. After walking around a bit I've decided to listen to Enid and visit Eugene.

I step into the room and see his poor unconscious body.
-"the bees miss you Eugene."
No response of course but at least he's breathing.
-"here's a jar of honey I got from the new hive"
No response again.
-"thanks for keeping an eye on him"
I say as Thing creeps out from a corner. I turn to leave and instantly bump into two ladies.
-"you must be Wednesday"
One of them says.
-"we're Eugene's moms, Susan and Janet"
She says gesturing to herself then to the lady beside her.
-"you were all he could talk about lately, he was so happy you joined the hummers"
The other lady said kindly with a smile. I didn't know what to say.
-"w-well I brought him some honey"
I then start to leave.
-"he's gonna be ok"
They say, walking to his bedside. I sure hope their right.
