I realise it's time to make my move and I try approaching him. With my aunt washing the dishes, now would be the best time. "Jaden, don't get pissed off with me, but I need to talk to you about your trip to Mount Elbert" these words seemed awkward coming from me because I usually demand to know stuff, but now was not the time to demand, I needed to request him.
He looked up at me with mere peevishness, and I could tell that he wasn't so happy with me snooping through his stuff. "It's quite complicated" was his reply, "Just tell me! I'm not your 4 year old sister any more, and I CAN understand things," I blurted out.
"Why don't we talk about this later"... he said in a hushed tone. "You mean after you leave me here alone?" My voice sounded harsh, but it was probably necessary in order for him to tell me about his trip. "Trust me I'll always come back for you...and don't ever forget that." That was it...My heart felt like it was being torn apart by a machete. So he did think about leaving me behind. That was the last straw. I heard what I didn't want to hear. I ran up the stairs screaming and thumping my feet. I heard my aunt (once again) complain about my raucous , but this time I didn't care. I bolted into my room and locked the door behind me. And as you would probably expect, I started crying. I grabbed my pillow tight and wished for my happy past. The past where I didn't have to live with my stupid aunt, the past where I was always loved, the past before the accident.....
Actually I would say, I loved everything about the past before the accident, because those times were the best. I didn't have to live with my aunt at that time, nor did I ever feel that I wasn't loved. Random thoughts kept circulating throughout my mind until I heard someone knock the door.
