Chapter 3
(Sara)
Why did I say yes to stay with Catherine? It's for at least 3 weeks. I'm going to die before I can go back home or to work.
God she is so beautiful, her long strawberry blond hair is shining in the sun, and her milk white skin must be so smooth to touch.
Why again did I say yes to stay with her? I don't think I can stay with her, without doing something stupid like tell her how I feel.
How long can it take to drive to her house "When are we there?" I asked looking over at Catherine.
"We have to pick Lindsay up first." Catherine told me.
Lindsay I totally forgot about that little girl, what if Lindsay doesn't want me to stay, what if she hates me?
"Sara, take it easy Lindsay doesn't hate you or what you ever are thinking, you will just have to help her with math homework" Catherine said starting to laugh, probably by the look on my face.
I didn't say any thing back, I leaned back in my seat and rested my head on the window, my eyes were slowly closing and I think I fall asleep because I didn't see we had pulled up in front of the school before I heard a bell, and it was really high it made my head hurt even more.
I opened my eyes, there were car's every where probably parents picking there kids up from school, many of them was standing outside some of them was looking weird at Catherine like she had done something wrong.
Not long after Catherine had stepped out off the car a lot of kids came running out of the big building in the middle, it didn't take long for Lindsay to get over to Catherine and I could hear her asked something about who was sitting in the car and Catherine told her it was me, and in that moment there came a scream from Lindsay and one of the other parents came rushing over and I rolled the window down so I could heard what was said.
"Is there something wrong?" asked the woman there had come over to Catherine and Lindsay.
"Everything is fine." said Catherine opening the door to the back site so Lindsay could get in.
"The girl screamed, so everything is not fine." said the woman.
I was starting to get pretty angry with the woman she had no right to blame Catherine for something when nothing had happened.
Lindsay was getting inside the car and sat behind me "Hi Sara" she said leaning over my seat and gave me a hug from behind "Hi sweetie" I said hugging her back.
"Are you okay sweetie." said the woman from outside the car.
"She is fine." I said looking out at Catherine she looked like she was going to explode.
"I didn't ask you, I asked the girl" said the woman looking at me with fire in her eyes, like it would scare me I have seen worse.
"I don't care, now can I have my friend back I would like to go home." I said looking back at the woman and gave her my death stare. The woman didn't say anything else she just turned around and walked away.
Catherine got back inside the car "Thank you, I hate that woman" she said I could hear the anger in her voice.
"Mommy why is she always not nice to you?" asked the cute little girl sitting behind me, she has long blond hair and ocean blue eyes just like her mother, I can get lost in Catherine's eyes.
"I don't know sweetie" Catherine said I could tell it was a lie and I will ask her about it later when I have gotten something for my head and slept.
On the rest of the way home, Lindsay told us all about her day at school, how she hate math because she can't understand that the teacher is explaining, she is probably much better at language and maybe sports.
Catherine pulled up in her drive way and turned the car off; she got out and walked around to let Lindsay out and gave her the house keys to let herself inside.
Catherine took my things out of the trunk and went inside with in not long after she came back, she opened my door and helped to out and inside the house.
I have never been in Catherine's house before so I looked around as much as I could. I don't know where Catherine had gone but I heard her talk to Lindsay and the noise came from up stairs, she probably told Lindsay to do her home work.
When Catherine came back down she took around my shoulder and helped to the sofa to lie down, she walked to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water and some pain killers.
I took the dam little pills, not long after I had fallen asleep, but not long after I was woken up by Lindsay running in the living room.
"Sara can you help me?" Lindsay asked me sitting down on the sofa beside me.
"Sure, what are you doing?" I asked her looking down at her book.
"Math, I don't understand it" Lindsay said starting to get tears in her eyes.
"Hey, you don't have to cry, I will help you" I told her taking her in my arms to make her feel better.
Around an hour later we had all her math homework done and ready for dinner, Catherine had made pasta and salad.
After dinner Catherine and I sat on the sofa not saying any thing, when Lindsay came down the stairs "Can we watch a movie?" asked Lindsay walking over to us.
"Sure" said Catherine standing up to put the DVD on, Lindsay sat down between Catherine and I and together we watched High School Musical 2.
Before the movie was over Lindsay was asleep on my lab and I was starting to drift of to dream land myself.
"Maybe I should put her to bed" Catherine said pulling me out of dream land.
"That would be good, my arm is sleeping" I said looking down at the sleeping beauty.
Catherine got up and took Lindsay in her arms, she walked up the stairs. When I couldn't see her any more I laid don't and was almost asleep when Catherine came back down.
"Sara you are not going to sleep here" Catherine said pulling up from the sofa and helped me upstairs, she took me to the guest room, before sitting down on the bed she helped me to the bathroom.
When I was finished in the bathroom, I send her out of the room so I could chance to my pajamas and then I got under the covers.
A couple of minutes later I was in dream land once again.
The next morning I was woken up by Lindsay coming inside the room to wake me up and tell me there was breakfast.
In my mind it was way to early to get up since I had woken up a couple of times because of nightmares it was a miracle that no one had woken up by my screams.
Lindsay left the room, I sat up in bed and took my pajamas off and took some clothes on, when I was finished I was just sitting there and had know idea what to do I couldn't walk, maybe Catherine forgot that my ankle was broken.
After 15 minutes Catherine came up "What is taking you so long?" she asked me
"I can't walk so how is it you want me to come down stair or get to the bathroom" said I starting to cry.
She walked over to me and sat down on the bed; she took me in her arms and holds me tight "I'm sorry Sara, I forgot" she said starting to run her hand trough my hair to calm me down.
It was kind of wird, but it worked, I had stopped crying.
Catherine got up from the bed and helped me up and to the bathroom. After I was finished we walked down stairs where Lindsay was sitting at the dinner table eating pancakes.
Catherine helped me down on a chair and gave me a plate with pancakes too. "Mom, do I have to stay at Aunt Nancy's place tonight?" Lindsay asked Catherine.
"You will have to ask Sara, it's she would be the one looking after you" Catherine said looking over at me.
"Didn't you have some days off?" I asked her, she sat down at the table and started to eat her own pancakes.
"It's first from Friday" Catherine said back with a sign.
"If she wants to stay home I will look after her, how hard can, it be" I said.
"Okay it looks like you can stay here tonight sweetie" Catherine told Lindsay and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
We where talking for a bit longer, and then Catherine send Lindsay upstairs to get her school things, when she came back down there was a knock at the front door, Catherine got up to answer it.
I could hear talking in the hall way and not long after Catherine was standing in the kitchen with some woman, I guess it is her sister.
"Nancy this is Sara and Sara this is Nancy" Catherine said, Nancy pulled out her hand and gave her my left hand and she gave me a wired look.
"Nice to meet you" I said. Lindsay came inside the kitchen with her bag pack, and coat and shoes on ready to leave.
"Bye Sara" Lindsay said giving me a hug "Bye sweetie" I said back, and Lindsay and Nancy walked out and left the house to go to school.
Now it was just Catherine and me until Lindsay got home around 3.
