"What are we going to do with her?" Her mother said, putting her head in her hands. Easton looked down as her father started eating again. "Do you not care for our daughter?" Her mother said, glaring at her husband. "Of course I do, Megan, but she needs to grow up. Just because she 'hears voices' doesn't mean she can be immature!" Her father replied, standing up challengingly. "Frank! Oh my- do not say it like that! We are doing all we can to help her! She's doing her best!" Megan replied, standing up as well. They started fighting, Easton still sitting at the table looking uncomfortable. After about 2 minutes of fighting, Megan walked out of the room with Easton while Frank cleaned up the table.
//Annabelle POV\\
I hear the yelling and fighting finally stop as I hear footsteps come down the hallway to my door. Knock knock. "Annabelle? Can Easton and I come in?" I hear my mother ask me softly. I sigh and reply with "Sure" as they come in, shut the door, and sit in my bed. "I'm sorry. Your father is trying... she really is. We all love you.. it's just hard to understand things sometimes" my mom told me, motioning for me to sit next to her. I plop down and lean on her shoulder as she combed her fingers through my long hair.
"I... I know.." I stand back up and look her straight in the eye. "Mom?... can I.. can I tell you something?" She looked at me with a small smile. "Of course, I'll always love you.. no matter what." She replies, still keeping her eyes on me. I take a deep breath to try and calm my rising anxiety. "Well.. I-I..." I stop and start again. "I know, we are a catholic family and we love god but-.. what if.. Lets say..." I shake my head and look away.
"Sorry, I lost my train of thought."
"Annabelle-"
"It's fine mom, really, it's okay"
She looked at me with a saddening expression and turned away towards my door, lightly pushing my brother out of the room. "Goodnight darling" she says as she steps out and shuts the door quietly.
I sigh and lay down in my bed, tears threatening to fall.
"Goodnight Mom..."
