dear mom,
i walked into the house,
and i remember,
hearing cedric,
calling out,
for me to be careful.
i ignored him,
because nothing could go wrong.
as i entered,
i was hit,
by the disgusting scent of,
what daddy used to drink,
and the scent of something else.
i remember,
ignoring it,
and as i walked into the living room,
i saw aaron talking with some friends,
he had a glass of water in his hand,
and by him was a tall blonde.
and that tall blonde,
was emma.
she was laughing,
and when she saw me,
her smile grew wider.
i remember,
her walking over to me,
and telling me to follow her.
so i did.
and as she took me,
to a different room,
aaron was there,
sitting down.
she told me,
to sit down,
and so i did.
i sat by aaron,
and when he saw me,
he was in awe mommy.
i felt,
so beautiful.
i remember,
emma coughing,
and then telling us,
we were going to play,
seven minutes in heaven.
mommy,
i never heard,
or played this game before.
so i asked her,
what it was,
and she started laughing so hard.
she told me,
that i would find out.
when we put our names in a hat,
she pulled out two names,
and she smiled,
she called out-
"ann and jack go into the closet-"
she proceeded,
to push me,
and jack?
into the same closet.
as we both sat,
by each other,
i heard the sound of the door,
clicking.
i remember,
freaking out,
and then hearing,
emma saying,
this was part of the game.
well if it's part of the game,
what could go wrong?
love,
ann
