Mary Anne: Humpty Dumpty (Baby-Sitters Club 2020 Fanfic)

Mary Anne feels like Humpty Dumpty.

"Life sucks," Mary Anne muttered to nobody in particular, but perhaps given the fact nobody else was in the room she muttered what she did to her mother. "Why can't I have a normal dad?"

She of course didn't want him to hear what she just said out loud, despite the fact saying what she did would only make it even clearer to her father that she was majorly upset with him. "I'm not sure what makes me madder, the fact he reneged on his promise that I could change my room, or that he treated Dawn's mother the way he did. I know Dawn's not going to be mad at me-that's just not here way, but still. It sucks."

She felt like Humpty Dumpty on the wall, who had a great fall, nor did she feel like she could put the pieces together again.

Her lips pushed together, and tears welled.

She felt like she was at the same place she was before her father let her change her appearance to look more adult-back to him not understanding she simply wanted to be allowed to grow up. And-

From what she heard from Mimi, her mother would definitely be disappointed in her father right now, as her mother would want to see Mary Anne grow up, but for her husband to have a second chance and it felt like he blew it. Mary Anne took in a deep breath. "Yeah. He's my dad, so there will always be a ton of second chances for him to get things right, or at least until I graduate high school and I'm out of the house, but a second chance with Dawn's mom? We were happy. Normal even, for once."

She buried her head, forcing back the frustration she felt.
