Chapter 4: Hello Crazy!
Cynthia smiled and talked with Stella as we walked. I was behind them both. I couldn't leave my sister alone. I trusted my parents but I had always been there for her, whenever she fell, whatever she wanted I helped her get it.
"Mary Alice, are you sure you're okay?" Stella asked. She had been asking that ever since she saw me rub my temples at her house. I looked at her.
"Y… Yes." I lied. She seemed to know I was lying, yet she also seemed to know I wasn't going to spill.
"Don't mind Mary Alice, she has been like that all day." Cynthia whispered to Stella.
Neither of them laughed though. Cynthia skipped up the steps and opened the door.
"Mom, Stella is here!" Cynthia shouted grabbing Stella's hand. I sat down on the porch. Anybody would realize I was scared. I was always upbeat and energetic, Mary Alice.
"Where's Mary Alice?" My mother asked.
"She's outside!" Cynthia shouted. My mother saw me and sat next to me.
"Honey, what's wrong?" She asked me. I looked at her.
"I need to talk to you and dad." I told her. My mother nodded and walked back inside. I followed behind her and shut the door behind me.
"Cynthia, how about you and Stella go play in your room, okay?" My mother asked getting Cynthia up. Cynthia grinned at me.
"Mommy, is Mary Alice in trouble?" She asked. Cynthia was my little sister, she enjoyed seeing me in trouble but I loved her anyway.
"Jack! Come in here!" My mother shouted for my father. He walked into the living room.
"What is it?" He asked. My mother sat down, I stayed up.
"Mary Alice wants to talk to us. You may speak, Mary Alice." My mother said gesturing to me.
My vision blacked out at the worst time. "Um, give me a minute!" I shouted. I didn't mean to shout but all I heard in my head was sirens. Sirens blasting!
"Mary Alice what's wrong?" My father asked alarmed.
"You can't see the future!" Someone shouted at me. My father's words were drowned out.
"Yes I can!" I shouted back holding my head.
"If you admit you can't, you won't get shocked!" The man threatened. I screamed at the electricity going through my body.
"Mary Alice Brandon!" My mother shouted. My eyes were squeezed shut. I opened them carefully fearing the future.
"Why did you scream yes I can and then start shaking and screaming?" My mother shouted. I looked at her, I screamed out loud? The electricity went through my body causing me to shake.
What was I supposed to say, "Mom, Dad, your daughter just had a vision and she was told she couldn't see the future when she can and she got shocked with 10,000 volts of electricity?" Yeah, then they would send me to the crazy house for sure!
"That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." I sheepishly said.
