I didn't want to hear anything said by my foster parents.
And I didn't want to answer them.
I didn't want to see their faces.
I wanted to run.
Run and never come back.
"Harmony, we've decided we won't ask anything else if you answer one question," my dad said.
I took a breath and said, "What is it?"
"Why are your parents in jail?"
I needed to answer this as simply as possible.
Silence. But my thoughts were loud enough.
Why are your parents in jail...
One word would end this silence.
The loudest word I will ever know of.
"Murder."
My foster parents said nothing.
Or maybe they did say something and I didn't hear it.
I walked into my room.
I didn't plan to come out for the rest of the day.
Or maybe even the rest of the year.
