"Thank you for telling me, Apple. I will talk to Darling tomorrow. Go to sleep, you have school in the morning," he instructed.
The next morning, I was bounded out of bed, put my clothes on in a rush, and scurried down the stairs. I couldn't deny that there was a hole in my heart, destroying me from the inside out. WHY DID YOU DO IT? the hole screams. However, Papa was calm as ever, sitting at the dining table and looking outside at the muddy street.
I sprinted to the door when I saw Darling standing there. Her hair was tangled, and her eyes were bright.
"Apple, don't tell anyone what I told you, alright? It can-" Darling started. The words tumbled out of her small frame awkwardly.
"Papa! Darling is here," I shouted. Papa joined me at the doorstep and instructed Darling to come in.
"Darling. Apple told me you are a Rebel," Papa started. Darling stared at me, hate and betrayal pooling in her brown eyes.
"Is that true?" he asked, looking intensely at Darling.
"Yes..." she mumbled, unsure of what she should do. Papa clucked his tongue.
"Disgraceful child, aren't you? Do you have any idea what I can do to you and your family? Do you have any idea what I will do to you and your family?" Papa threatened. "Go to school Apple. You are going to be late." Papa demanded.
You have to stay my mind screamed at me, but I picked up my feet and put one in front of the other, until I was out the front door. As I staggered to school, my mind and feet were still heavy as sacks of rocks. To calm my mind, I thought of what Papa had said. Papa had confirmed it. All Rebels are bad. I let that sink in. I could not forget that, or slip up again. For the remainder of my way to school, I chanted "All Rebels are bad" like a new mantra.
