Chapter 83


 The next day...


 I get an email from the pain in the ass class president stating that there's going to be a candlelight vigil tomorrow night at school at seven pm. It pisses me off that Geneva thinks that Becky's death is just another stage production that she can take charge of. Like it's up to her family, not stupid Geneva. It sickens me. Besides myself, Derek and Ted were the only ones in school who cared about Becky and gave her time of day. Geneva and her crew didn't, that's for dam sure. Derek, Ted, and even Cody have been trying to get a hold of me for hours. I love them all, but I just want some time alone. I send them all a carbon cop text that kindly asks for them to leave me alone. In all fairness, my parents were probably the one who told Cody because he couldn't have found out otherwise.

  My parents have also been trying to get me out of the house to get Becky off my mind. I know that they mean well too, but all of this attention is getting to me. Everyone's treating me as if I'm broken, which I am, but I don't constantly need to be reminded that I am. The more that people treat me like I am, the more I will start to believe it. Given my depression, things could get ugly fast. 

  Now you're probably wondering if my parents managed to get me out of the house after all, they didn't. After hours of pursing the subject, they finally gave up on it. Hooray! Though they promised to bring me back some supper from my favorite Noodle place. As much as I love those noodles, I don't feel like eating. I'll do it for their sake though. I don't want to cause them anymore stress than I already have. Besides, all I am is a burden. Always have been, always will be.
