That evening, Kristy called me saying someone paid a smoker to throw a cigar near our house. And, that someone happened to be my worst enemy, Cokie Mason.
"How could she do that?" I asked.
"I know," said Kristy.
I got up and headed to my room. In my room, I was on my bed while being curled up in a ball. I'm glad what I found out.
I had already texted Kayla and Kaylee about what I learned from Kristy. They thought Cokie was nuts, too.
"Mary Anne, dinner," said Grandma Verna.
But I never came down.
"Mary Anne, hon," said Dad.
I just remained in my room.
"Excuse me for one moment," said Dad who was getting concerned about me.
He came up knocking on my door and came in to be with me while I was still being curled up in a ball.
"Honey, it's time for supper," said Dad.
"I don't want anything right now," I said while I sat up in tears.
"Are you okay?" asked Dad.
I told him about it.
"What?" asked Dad.
"Yes," I said. "Cokie was crazy to do that."
"Are you sure you don't want anything?" asked Dad.
"Positive," I replied.
I stayed in my room most of the time. I didn't even come down at all. Dad already told Grandma Verna and the others about it.
"Cokie?" asked Dawn.
"She's the one who destroyed everything was important to Mary Anne?" asked Carlos.
"Yes," said Dad.
"Wow," said Sharon.
Even though I'm glad that I went to see Dr. Reese, I kept waking up from those nightmares about the fire. Here we go again! I didn't get them while I was in New York with the Willis family. This one was about Grandma Verna's house was on fire and I was the only one who made it out alive-not Grandma or Dad. In fact, I had it three times. Boy, was I shaking like a leaf.
