Under the afternoon sky, we amble down the same street, same surrounding as everyday. Every single thing about this place is like a running reel in my head. Even if I ever wanted to forget, it somehow would not happen.
The created sound of our footsteps make us realize that we are still out on the street. Since I am wearing moccasins, they haven't have ability to clap the solid sidewalk loud enough. Instead I can only hear soft, fainting noise reaching my ear.
I inhale and exhale.
The bothersome feeling that is stuck inside of me, is not letting me walk easily. It knocks inside my brain and sometimes in my heart. I know and am completely used to telling anything that happened to me to Julia. She dabs in all my secrets, and I never regret after sharing with her. She is like a treasure chest.
I clear my throat, and then stuffy part is swallowed down. Then I say, "Julia, remember I told you that I was gonna hide Tessie from mom and dad. Now I hate myself for saying this that I accidentally brought it in front of my mom." I escape the silence.
"Is it that bad?" Julia asks.
"Yeah. You don't know that she wants me to throw it out and again yesterday at dinner she made a fuss about in front of dad."
Julia is listening, because she doesn't interrupt me, which is one of the thing that I like about Julia. She moistens her lips and parts them. "I knew that was not a good idea. The bell of danger was waiting to ring since then on. Now what are you gonna do?"
"I'm never gonna throw my Tessie. I don't care about what my parents tell me. They are wrong this time. Do you really think that Tessie deserves to be thrown?
"Not really." Julia supports me. She is loyal to me even at my greatest tension because she knows that friends help friends, not an outsider.
"I think they just don't like me anymore. They are taking away things that makes me happy. I mean can you believe that. Did that ever happened to you?"
"I am gonna say never. I really love my parents. I'm a daddy's and mommy's little angel even though Sam is the youngest."
We cross the street and leap on the sidewalk. The beauty of the thin air shrouds us, touching our flawless, soft skin and leaving as it hit the objective of crossing our body. My chiffon light top flutters in the invisible presence of the wind.
My stomach makes few growls. Then ends up accepting the empty tummy.
"They hardly give any attention to me and as when I was happy with Tessie they finally thought to snatch that away too." I roar in anger inside of me and it influences the words that I chose to speak.
"I am feeling really bad for you, Beth. I wish I could fix that so you never get sad."
The mercy in her voice interposes my pain and depression. She is the first one to ever understand me and never let me drown into ocean of worst events.
Today our walk went with the talk about my disappointed life, I wished we could have joked and stayed blissful, as young girls, stumbled into their bustling life. I seemed like a child going to school carrying the burden of worries and returning home bawling my eyes in a pile.
Everyday was becoming worse and worse. Changing was something far to anticipate but the daily life was less seen in the hopeful eyes.
