Henry
What was happening now ?why couldn't anything in my life just be normal?why was I always in the middle .How hard would it have been to mock your child for taking a year out for 'art' but no I was going all the way up to Yorkshire to see my unrecognisable sister and leaving my overbearing mother .why was living in a falling matriarch ? .My life had turned into one big Jackson Pollock painting.I had received the letter that Mia and 'Izzy ' had got into trouble and that we had to come up to Yorkshire and see but that wasn't gonna happen mum was knocked up on Valium and however insisted that she would 'grace us with her presence' later and dad was in HongKong helping bring home the bread.Mum would then decide after if she wanted to redecorate the house this time or her face.
So I had come . Leaving the manic London noise behind me in Dads vintage old farrari .I saw Mia in the waiting room in hospital wearing a dark pair of sunglasses and a bloody neckerchief as if this was a bloodyfilm noir instead I had heard it was just bloody .At least that was what I heard.
'Hen oh my god thank you for coming '
'Mia you really expect open arms ,we got a letter ,you could have been expelled don't you ...don't you care'I found my self muttering getting louder and louder and even growling with with rage .'hey Henry quiet down I'll show you the damage but you have to be quiet other wise it's just a character assassination or so you call it'
'I don't care I think you know a lot about character assassination'I said passive aggressively .
'Ugh just follow me' she rolled her eyes .The corridors were snakes winding around every corner. It was suffocating , the anticipation made it worse .It smelled of rotting humans I could always see it .I wonder if ignorance really is bliss .
When we finally got to room 101 .Well I saw a broken bird ,an little eleven year old girl curled up in a fetal position she seemed so martyred as we looked down on the limp body.
'Jeez Mia what the hell this this is crazy and disgusting I don't care what bullshit excuse you give' I said shaking my head angrily.Mia on the other hand looked like a bomb about to explode.But then didn't.
'You...you' she hesitated but then it all came pouring out manically 'don't know what it's like their ,in the day it's like the eye of the storm and then in the night it just changes the dynamics ,I knew it was wrong but you have to assert dominance to live otherwise they'll bury you' Mia looked trapped .
'Hey breathe tell me your sorry about it and this ...this was wrong and that your not too far gone your not a stranger'
'I saw fragments of what I was doing it was messed up I know but it's happened and I can't change it I'm.Im still Mia nothings changed'
'Everything has changed why because you wanted something to do 'I was getting increasingly angry being increasingly slow .'henry it's like the whole kill or be killed dynamic besides it wasn't just me '
'Your blaming it on peer pressure,wasn't it mums Valium?'I asked accusingly 'yes but it was Izzy's idea '
'You could have said no '
'I know'
'Do you because from my perspective I see a poor girl being attacked by a pathetic person who doesn't even recognise her self ,she's like a bloody war victim Alice and what just so you'd get an ego boost with your sick friend'Silent tears ran down miss cheeks ,I knew she hated crying as much as I hated seeing her cry ,she was still my sister and I loved her but she was lost.
Tension however grew even more .
'Are those footsteps?' Mia asked fear in her eyes like a deer in the headlights.
'Well bollocks to this we're gonna have to hide'Irritably I muttered as we crammed sardine like under the bed .Was are cover blown?
