I was crying hysterically. Annie never told me she cut herself. I ran up the car park to turn around the building, but I stopped by Katie.
Me: Katie!
Katie: Mrs. Katie, I'm so so sorry I said that it should not have been said outside your home! I made her say it!
Me: What?! It wasn't said IN our home!
Katie paused for a moment.
Katie: Oh... Yea......... Umm...
Me: You were the first person to know?
Katie: Yes.
Great Katie was the first friend of Annie's to know about Caleb's death and now the first ever person other than Annie herself to know that she's been CUTTING HERSELF! I swear that family's so close one day it's going to cause a problem. All Annie's secrets go to her. Sometimes first. I scream as agony flows through my heart. As mother of Annie I shouldn't just stand here and cry. I run behind the building
Annie |
My mom's cries get louder as her echo of racing footsteps reach closer to my destination after reaching all other valleys of this car park. Who's coming??? I so hope it's not Katie, or Coach Mary, or...
Me: MOMMY?!
Mom: ANNIE!
She rips my arm from behind my back and stares at it. I've never seen mommy cry this much other than Caleb's passing. This time it's about me. This is terrifying. It's NOTHING like the movies. She doesn't stop crying or anything, she just continues and gasps as she covers her gawping mouth with her left hand. Why didn't I tell her first? Why did I cut? Coach Mary looks around the corner. I'm annoyed with mommy being here already, but I can trust her enough. So I loose it with Mary.
Me: GET AWAY THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS YOU FREAK ARE YOU STALKING ME!!!!!
Her eyes widen as mommy turns startled to stare at her. She runs wildly from the beast I am. I don't regret my words at all. Mommy states back at me.
Mom (in a calm voice): Julianna we are going home right now.
She stomps to the car, practically dragging me behind. I sit in the very back row of the car, mommy took the 8 seater today.
