A Wish

Part 10

~Alrightyroo, my fellow carrot cubes! I'm back! So I have a couple ideas for this story but I don't know when to put them into the story :c but I will figure it out! So we're on Spring break right now and I'm going to try to update on both of my books a lot this week (: ~

I'm sorry.  Its all my fault, I know it is. 

"He would still be alive if it wasn't for you!"  May hissed at my me.  My brother was looking at me like he was going to kill me.

"May...I- I'm sorry" I spoke quietly, letting the tears slowly beginning to roll down my cheeks. 

"I- I.." I began but got interuppted by my mother.

"Save it! We don't want to hear it, you destroyed our family! Now leave, get out of this house!" My mom gritted her teeth while clenching her fists.

"But w-where am I g-going to go..?" I wiped some of the tears away.

"I don't know, and I don't care.  Come on kids, I cant stand to look at this disgrace anymore!"  She took her keys and went out the door.

I looked up at May and Jason. 

"Please, Don't leave me...I need you guys.." I tried to reach out to them.

"We needed dad.." Jason said while he picked May up and walked out the door.  I ran to Jakes house and knocked on the door quickly.  "J- Jake!" He finally came to the door and just looked at me.  "What do you want?"  He glared at me.  "Not you too!" I dropped to my knees and buried my face into my hands.  "I'm sorry" I whispered.  "You killed him..." He said.  I got up slowly.  I looked behind me,  there were hundreds of people holding up signs.  The signs said Murderer.

"No! No! Stop!" I started shouting.

" Claire, honey.  Are you alright? Claire?"  I felt someone shaking me.  I opened my eyes and saw my mom looking at me.  She looked concerned.  "I'm sorry, mom!" I wiped my tears away and hugged her.  "Another nightmare, Claire?" She put a string of my hair and put it behind my ear.

"It felt so real.." I looked down.

I crept downstairs.  I heard my mothers voice.  I sat on the steps and listened.

"I know, I just don't know what to do anymore,  she thinks its her fault.  I can't afford to send her to a therapist." my mothers voice sounded strained.

"Yeah....I know"

I began walking down the stairs, making my steps louder.

"Oh shes coming down, I'll talk to you when I get to the care, bye." She whispered.

"Goodmorning Claire, um Im going to meet with Liz right now, do you think you could watch May?" My mom asked me.

"Sure thing, have fun." My voice was emotionless.

Then my mom went out the door.  I sighed and sat down.

Maria's Pov (Claire's mom)

"Liz I just don't know what to do, I-I cant afford anything.  We barely have any money" I sighed as I put my hand on my head. 

"We're barely getting by." I looked up at her waiting for her to answer.

"Maybe get an extra job and tell Jason and Claire to get extra jobs?" She suggested.

"I don't know.  I want them to be focused in school.  I don't want them to worry, they are already having a rough time as it is right now.  I'll have a talk with them."  I finished saying while taking a sip of my water.

"Claire..shes having these ...nightmares, I just don't know what to do.  S-she wont even talk to me about them.  I want to help...but she wont let me."  I frowned.

"Well mayb-" Liz got interrupted by my phone. 

"Hello? This is Maria"

"Yes.  Okay, I'll be right there "

"bye, see you soon."

"Im so sorry, I have to go into work early, please stay in touch.  Bye"  I gave Liz a quick hug and then to my car.
