Chapter two: In the evening: If it weren't for…
Everything seems so un-real. Five days passed with friends coming and going, to comfort Katrina and the like. On this evening her whole world changed even more.
The doorbell rang, causing Katrina to sigh and look up. She opened the door to yet another friend, but Katrina was happy to see her best friend Gail.
"Hey Gail. Th- aaahhh!" she was cut short by Gail attack-hugging her. (Not glomping cuz idk)
"So d'you wanna talk?"
XXXXX
"But why didn't you just tell them the truth?"
"Th-they would never believe me…"
"But I could back you up."
"THEY'D NEVER TAKE THE WORD OF TWO LITTLE KIDS!"
She flinched noticeably
"S-sorry"
"It's ok, oh, I should get home it's late"
"Bye…"
She leaves, and Katrina is alone to her thoughts again. Alone…
'Maybe… maybe if it weren't for that train, I could have been here before…
If it weren't for me taking that route…
If it weren't for me leaving at all…
If it weren't for my mom working from home…'
But these were just cover-ups for my real thoughts.
'If it weren't for my father…
If it weren't for my father.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY FATHER!'
"IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY FATHER!"
And with that the world disappeared around her.
