"You should have never opened your fucking mouth!" Barb flinched as I shouted. I couldn't' help but blame her for Sandra's decision to come back, even though I was to blame as well. I was tired of getting out of one problem just to step into another.
"I'm sorry, I thought-"
"I don't give a fuck! Why can't you mind your own business you nosy b-"
"Peter that's enough. Don't speak to her that way, Sandra's an adult. If she puts herself in harm's way it is her decision. Don't take it out on Barbara." Though Daniel kept a calm composure I could tell that he was pissed at me. As he walked between Barb and me, he brushed past my injured arm. I knew he did it on purpose, so I held in my reaction. Instead, I voiced my worries.
"She didn't even take her phone, how am I supposed to contact her. I don't even know where she'll go when she gets here." Panic began to take over and all I could do was think about what could go wrong. Everything was better in California, things felt normal over there.
"She's headed here, Selena booked her flight and she's picking her up." Barb refused to look at me, her head was bowed, her voice small. I began to feel guilty as I watched her.
"Barb, I'm sorry for snapping at you. You don't deserve it," I apologized waiting for her eyes to meet mine. I wanted her to see that I was sincere.
I'm such a dick.
"It's cool, I get annoying sometimes," she shrugged. Before I could agree Daniel shot me a silencing look.
"Can I use your phone again? I need to speak to Selena." I took a deep breath to ease my anxiety. I needed to keep a cool head before I hurt someone else's feelings. As I talked to Selena I convinced her to pick me up on her way to the airport. As soon as I had Sandra in my arms I wouldn't let go. Once Benny woke up we'd get the hell out of here.
"Are you sure you don't want to clean yourself up before going? You've been through a lot these past twelve hours? Sandra's gonna freak when she sees how beat up you are." I scoffed remembering his familiar words this morning. Look where that got me.
