"Hun your eggs are ready."
I sit at the table pushing around the food on my plate. "Mom, were those other guys found yet?", "You know, the other ones who were there that night." "Well i don't really know Jolie, you don't need to worry about that stuff.", "Are you not telling me because i'm young?", "No Jolie, i'm not telling you because i don't know." What was i saying?
"Those guys deserves to be in prison!"
"All three of them should of went off the cliff, not her!"
"I should of went off that cliff, not Angie!!"
"JOLIE CARSON, take those words out of your mouth!"
"Why are you and dad so fine?! You loved her more, don't you wish it was me?!"
"JOLIE CARSON GO TO YOUR ROOM."
I knew mom was very confused and hurt, her 8 year old daughter screaming things like that. I look back at that moment, still not knowing what came over me.
I stormed to my room, i stood there a wildfire, branded by my anger, searing every thought and feeling with someone who wasn't little me. Who knew how much reality can change such a young soul. Dad opens the door.
"Jolie, what's going on? What's gotten into you"
I wanted to say with sore eyes that i just needed time and space and that i'm sorry.
"Nothing"
"Jolie.."
"It's my fault dad, My Fault"
"No-no it's not"
"Your right, its your fault"
"Excuse me?"
"ANGIE ALWAYS TOLD YOU GUYS TO NEVER LET ME WALK BY MYSELF, YOU NEVER LISTENED, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED"
"Jolie.. stop.. think about what you're saying"
"ITS YOUR FAULT SHE'S DEAD, YOUR FAULT"
"YOU JUST DIDN'T CARE FOR ME ENOUGH"
"YOU JUST LISTEN JOLIE, IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT THA-"
We could both hear mom hiding her sniffles and tears through all the chaos. Dad knew i was hurting, i knew they were too, but i acted like they didn't.
"I DON'T WANT ANOTHER WORD FROM YOU"
Dad slammed the door in anger, it seemed contagious. I was burning, i thought about how disappointed Angie would be to watch this.
"Why!? Why did you leave us!?"
Through the tears streaming down my face.
"I need you, i need you here!?!"
Breaking down had never been so shameful. I spent the next few days just throwing away the foundation of my relationship with my parents. But i was tolerated, because they were going through the same crap, and they understood they would never understand what it was like for me.
"Come back Angie"
