SORRY IT'S BEEN A WHILE! I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH PLANNING MY WEDDING AND I GOT THE FLU!! PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT!!!
"Martha, I need you to run to town and grab some pads. You and your sister should be starting soon," My mom said. I nodded and took the money and walked to town. It was only about 5 miles from home. I walked into the store and the John, the owner smiled broadly, "Martha! I have a message from your cousin!" I ran over to the counter and waited patiently. "She said that Leslie is miserable and they all miss you," he said. "That's it??" I asked. "Were you expecting more?" he asked with a chuckle. "No, of course not," I said quickly. "So my dear, what can I get you?" he asked. "I need some pads John," I sighed. He grabbed two packages off the shelf and rang them up. I paid for them and headed home. Leslie was miserable... Which means she really does love me! I ran all the way home finally deciding I was going to tell my family I wasn't staying.
I walked into the living room and mother was bustling about. "Martha, I need you get put this dress on and comb your hair. We need to go to the meeting hall," she said. I raised an eye brow at her but did as I was told. We all hurridely climbed into the wagon and road silently to the meeting hall. As we pulled up I noticed the hole town was there. "Mom, what's going on??" I asked. "We couldn't wait anymore! We wanted to go your welcoming back as soon as possible!" she squealed. I gasped, "MOm!!! I needed to talk to you about that!" I yelped. "SHH! Not now Martha, later!" she demanded. We climbed out and headed into the hall. We sat in the front row. My palms grew sweaty knowing how this would turn out. I've been to these before with teenagers deciding not to stay. They were chastized and humiliated. "We are welcoming back Martha from her rummspringa and welcoming her into our traditions!!! Today we celebrate a new comer! Martha would you please come up to the front!!" Mr. Briggs said. Everyone clapped as I stood up nervously and walked up there. I glanced around and spotted John smiling broadly as well as everyone else. Mama was crying happily.
"Martha, my dear child, are you ready to begin?" he asked. I gulped and nodded. "Martha, you are from this tradition correct?" he asked. "Yes, I am," I muttered. "You do accept our ways and life style?" he asked. "Yes," I muttered. "Martha, we wish to welcome you into the community as one with us all, but I need to to answer this one question for me. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life as one with the community to help watch over each other and shield each other from the evilness fromt the outside world?" he said. It was the one question I didn't want to answer. I looked around at everyone. THey sat stiff and tall, awaitng my response. "I-....-I-- I can't. This is not the life for me. I do accept the way you all live, but it is not for me," I finally said. "Everyone gasped and my parents stood up. My father had a face of heartache while my mother looked just straight up pissed.
"Martha!!! What do you think your'e doing??!! Do you realize what this means?" my mother yelled. "Yes, I do know what I'm saying. I'm going to stay with my cousin. I've.....I've met someone," I said. "Met someone??? How can he possibly be a better match than JOhn?" she demanded. "She means the world to me! She is a much better match than John because I love her!" I yelled. Everyone started talking loudly. John's face turned bright red. MY mother slapped me across the face. "How dare you!!! My child will not be gay! You were just corrupted from the world! Maybe we can fix this. GIve it time! John will show you the way!" she stammered. I ran out of the building away from the embarrassement. I ran down the road drowning out everyone. "Martha wait!!!" I heard. I turned around and seen my little sister running for me. I stopped and let her catch up.. "Sissy!!! When I get big I'm going with you!! I love you!!!" she said. I kissed her and gave her a big squueze and was looking forward to that momment. Bobby caught up to me and said, "You'll need a way back. I'll help you." I sobbed and nodded. After waving bye to my sister, we left.
