We walk inside and we practice. We practice the whole time but like fifteen minutes at the end. When we finish Andy says he needs to talk to a few people. Which was Emily, Natalie, Me and Denise? We were the ones that were involved in the fire. So we all stick around till he gets through everyone. He talks to Denise first then he goes down the line. I text Liv telling her I have to talk to Andy then I have to stop by my house to get clothes. I wait and I sit by and talk to Space Jesus until Andy is ready for us.
"I'm sorry."
" Sorry for what? "
"I don't know exactly."
"Then don't say sorry, but if you need it space Jesus forgives you."
We both sit there laughing and having a mindless conversation. Mostly about the kid she likes. She always talks about him so I figured just let it go let her have her fun. We talk for about another fifteen minutes until Andy was ready for Emily. As she went into Mr.B's office I was left with my thoughts. Which truly isn't something I don't like to be left with. While sitting there my mind just keeps wondering to the night of the fire. It wandered deeper. It went today my dad passed. All I could think was it was my fault just like the fire if I would have been home I could have helped him or like the fire if I wouldn't have had the idea for the party no one would have gotten hurt. It's the same pain all over again. I sit there for a while. I guess I kinda started to daydream because Space Jesus was in front of me the whole time. I finally snapped back to reality.
"What?" I look at her with a puzzled look on my face.
"Andy's waiting for you."
" Oh OK, sorry."
" Stop saying sorry but I do have to go so I'll text you later OK."
" OK."
She walks out waving being her normal goofy self. Once she's gone and out of my sight, I get up and into Mr.B's office where Andy was waiting patiently behind the desk. When I walk in he gestures toward a chair. I go and sit in the chair and look up at him.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Space Jesus (Emily) tells me different."
I just blankly stare not knowing what to say.
"She said that you blame yourself for the fire."
" No."
He looks at me questionably.
"Really?"
" I don't know, I mean if I wouldn't have thrown the party the fire wouldn't have happened and those people would still be here."
"You don't know that."
"Know what?"
"That the fire wouldn't have happened."
"But I saw someone walking around suspiciously, and Emily said she smelled smoke but I didn't believe her. If I would have listened to her most of them people would still be alive."
"That's not true. Emily said you guys had a small bonfire. Is it possible that she could have just been smelling that?"
"I don't know after a while we started to smell gasoline and I still didn't do anything."
"You weren't the only one capable of doing something."
"But I was the one that smelled the gas, my first reaction should have been to do something."
" It wasn't your fault you know. "
"That's what everyone is saying."
"They're telling the truth you didn't start the fire. Therefore it wasn't your fault."
I crack a small smile to let him know that I know he's not lying.
"Hey Andy I have to go, I have to stop at my mom's to get clothes."
I scrunch my face slightly obviously not liking what had just come out of my mouth.
"Ok, and hey be safe."
He stands up and goes and opens the door. I walk out and walk over to my band cubby and get my phone and car keys to leave. As I walk out of the band room doors I get a call from Liv.
"Hey I just left the school I have to stop at my mom's house and I'll be over."
"Ok well hurry because we need to talk about this video."
Completely forgetting I sent her and Sarena the video I'm quiet for a little.
"Alexis?"
"Oh um yeah, it'll be over soon."
"Ok well please hurry."
At this, i hang the phone up and speed over to my mom's house to get my clothes. I really don't like being here because of my past with her but I dealt with it when my gram was alive. But now I can't stand to be in the same room with her in fear of her freaking out. I mean I've gotten used to her freaking out. I mean I was used to her coming after me when she was mad. I was always the one that she'd come after. But I guess after a while I was used to it. As I drive slowly up the hill I dread even walking in the house I haven't been here since the last time we got into a fight. I've been afraid to go back that I guess I have to go back. As I pull into the driveway I park my car and I sit there in silence. I contemplate even going in. I get out of my car and slowly walk up to the porch and I stand there.
I just think to myself do I really need the clothes. I could always go and buy more. As I go to open the door my phone buzzes. I take out my phone and see a text message from Liv.
Liv: Hey where are you?
Me: I just got to my moms I'm going in to get my clothes and I'll be on my way.
Liv: OK just hurry up I don't like it when you're there by yourself.
Me: ok I'll be there soon I promise.
Liv: as soon as you leave message me.
Me: ok see you soon
Liv: see you soon
As I put my phone in my back pocket and I slowly turn the doorknob and walk in. It was just my luck, as I walked in the door creaked throughout the whole house. As I stepped through the thresh hold I hear what I dreaded the most.
"Alexis is that you?" My mom asked walking out of her room.
I thought staying quiet would make her think she was just hearing things. But luck wasn't on my side.
"ANSWER ME."
" Yes, it's me."
"We need to have a talk."
Her words made me shudder. The only time she ever wanted to talk was when she was mad at me. I walked slowly to the steps and started to walk up to them. I walked toward her room. As I got close she was nowhere to be found. She was in her room. I slowly walked in and she looked straight into my eye's. I stand by the door and I let her yell. As I know trying to talk while she was would make her mad at me. When she finishes I turn around without another word and walked out.
