The Past Doesn't Cover Secrets

She will be ok.

Monday 8:37am English Class

"Hi Ariana! Miss me?" I turn around and I see what my eyes never thought would ever see again. "Maddison, what are you doing here?" I query with antipathy in my eyes. "Oh I wanted to have my senior year with my best friend. I missed you so much! You look fabulous. I never thought you would pull through of everything you went through." She says inoffensively. Oh God! This can't be happening. She has to leave now. "For the assignment you will work in groups of two and I will be the one who will choose your partners. First Summer with Lauren. Ralph with Morgan. Ariana and Maddison..." Mrs. Clarkson continues.

Oh no! This has to be a mistake. Maybe it's a hallucination. Yeah that's it. "Oh isn't that great you and me working together after such a long time." Maddie smiles harmoniously. "You think I am happy about this? How could you come here and say you are here to be with me? That is BULLSHIT! You know you still hate me. It is probably all part of your little duplicitous plan isn't it? Just do me a favor of leaving me alone. I have suffered too much and I don't want more. You made me this way. You created the monster I was, but I won't let you control and dominate me once more. We will do this project together, but after that I am so done with you and I won't talk to you ever again!" I utter. She smiles once again. "Ok, however you decide, but Ariana I really want the differences between you and me to be washed in the past. I want to gain your confidence again. I have changed a lot. I am not the same as before. I know you don't trust me, but I really want you to give me a shot." She whispers softly.

Does she really think I am that dumb? After putting an end to my life, she wants a shot? HA! Unbelievable. She has to be joking. "Maddie I need you to understand something. You destroyed my life. Why would I want to be in peace with you after all you have done?" I demand. A tear run down her cheek while she just nodded. Oh she is a very good actress. She should go to the studios. They will totally hire her. I mean in a way without her I wouldn't have met James, Olive, Jade or none of the friends I have now.

The bell rang and I started walking slowly down the aisle when I get dragged by the arm. I looked up and it was James. "Hey, we need to get out of here. Olive is drunk at her apartment and has a gun on her hand. Apparently she is depressed. We need to go now!" James says worryingly. Without saying a word, we run to the car.

10:05am

I open the door warily not knowing what to expect from this. We saw 11 empty bottles of whiskey on the floor pointing us to her room. I look at James and he seems petrified so I entwine our fingers to give him audacity. We eavesdrop Olive's voice weeping. Oh God help me! James opens the door and we see her on the bed with the rifle facing her head. She looks like she hasn't napped in a long time. "Olive..." I undertone. She tilts her head and starts laughing like a maniac. "James what is wrong with her?" I ask confused. "We have to take her to the mental hospital. Something is very wrong with her, but I just can't decipher it. Let's just take her and see what the doctors have to say." He responds and I nod softly.

11:56am

We are now in Saint Groove Mental Hospital waiting for the doc. This place gives me the creeps because Richard is supposed to be here. I just hope I don't see him. Suddenly the doctor comes up with Olive's results. "Hello, I have to inform you that Olive is stable. The drunk state is gone..." James smiles cheerfully. "... but she apparently was traumatized by someone who came into her apartment. She will be okay, but she needs medical help to overcome this trauma. She will have to be remaining here at least for six weeks." The doctor requires. "Six weeks? That is too much! Will I be able to visit her?" James asks. "Of course. Oh and I believe your mother called and she is coming." The doctors respond before he leaves. James turns into a state of shock wave. "James what's wrong?" I question. I try to shake him to bring him back. "Mom is coming. This has to be wicked!" He utters. "James is just your mom. How bad can it be?" I say when a mysterious voice interrupts me. "James Moseley! Why is your sister in this place?" it seems as if that is her mom. "Mom, it is also nice to see you!" He mocks. "James you are better than this. I was actually having tea with the president's wife Michelle Obama, but you had to interrupt me for something that is not even true. Olivia is not crazy or a psycho. She doesn't deserve to be here." She whines so I decide to intervene.

"You are absolutely right mam, but it wasn't her fault. It was actually someone else who came and apparently traumatized her." I respond. She scans with her sassy eyes all of me. "And who are you supposed to be?" she snaps. "Mother she is Ariana, one of Olive's best friends. Ariana this is Nina Moseley my mother and I am really sorry for my mom's behavior." James pronounces. "Nonsense. I was just asking. Well come and let's see your sister." Nina pulls James by his arm.

I secretly chuckle. Wow his mother seems above all nice. I mean not all mothers are perfect. Mine wasn't, but I still miss her. I would really like to be with her right now. Oh well I have to get used to it. I start walking when my phone beeps. I check it and it is a message from an anonymous.

Hey Aria!

Did you have fun meeting Maddison again? I mean you were best friends and now you are reunited with her again. Isn't that exciting? Oh well I hope you don't get mad at me for what I did to Olive. I know she is super nice and all, but come on I hate everybody you love. Oh and I saw you met Nina. I bet she will separate you from James. She has high standards for the people who date her children and you are below that standard. Its an honor for me to make you suffer so don't even think you will escape for what I have for you. Oh and be careful with hunters. It is hunting bitch season
