Leaving Stones Part 1

Leaving Stones: Chapter 17

I walk shakily up the stairs, trying to get a good grip on the handle. What if I hadn't stayed for dinner today? I wouldn't have regret listening to the truth. That after all these years I knew it would happen eventually but when it happened- finally, I feel like my existence is not worth it. My parents hadn't slept on the same bed since I was born but when I was 5; they tried to mend everything up and had Ian for the sake of saving their marriage. Now Ian is their precious stone and I'm a nobody in this house. I wonder that if I was with Dean to our senior year prom, I wouldn't have felt wrecked as I am now. I entered my bedroom and took my phone.

"Hey, you, im sorry I can't come, and Im sorry my mom was the one telling you I can't go. I'll make it up to you. How was your performance? Gosh, something happened, I want to tell you something. Text me when the prom is done. Don't party too much. Love you."
-11:39pm

There was a knock on my door. "Sweetheart? Umm... talk to me when you're ready, okay?" mom's voice trembles and she walks away after a moment of silence. I cover my head with my pillow and tried to rest but the voices in my head speak louder than the silence of the lonely night except by the sound of me groaning.
