Chapter 9:
Later that day, as Audrey walked to her house with Freddie, she couldn't stop thinking of his story. Why had it seemed so familiar to her? When she arrived home she and Freddie said their goodbyes ending, with him planting a soft kiss on her cheek. Audrey walked inside and called for her mother. She felt like they needed to clear some things up.
"Mom!" She yelled out calling for her mother. "We need to talk!"
Her mother came rushing down the stairs, "Your not pregnant are you!"
"What? No!"
"Oh goodness don't scare me like that, Audrey!"
"How did I scare you I only yell- nevermind! Back on topic."
Her mother looked at her at tentatively showing that she was ready to listen and Audrey knew it was safe to continue.
"Am I Audrey?"
"Don't be ridiculous of course your Audrey!" She could see her mother was starting to get angry at the fact she asked this so she decided to give her mother sometime and ask again later.
"I'll just g-g-go now I'll be back for uh um dinner…"
"Okay, hunny, but don't take too long," as she finished the sentence she gave Audrey a kiss on her forehead and walked away but instead of feeling a mother's love she felt darkness and cold she sensed her mother was hiding something…but what?
Audrey called Freddie and told him to meet her at the local library.
She started looking up both her mother and her. She tried to find something out, something was wrong the way her mother yelled at her as soon as she asked about who she was.
Why didn't she remember anything about her past, why didn't she remember what her father was like or what he looked like? Why were the only things she knew about him the little things she got out of her mom by bugging the crap out of her?
Why did Freddie's story give her the sense of Deja Vu? Why did she feel like she didn't belong to the world she lived in? She wanted answers and that's exactly what she intended to get during her library trip. As she continued her search she came across an old newspaper article.
17 Year Old Girl Commits Suicide
17 year old Audrey Cambell committed suicide last night because of depression. She was daughter to Anna-Marie and Joseph Cambell. On June 15, 2005 at 6:30 while her parents were out for dinner for their anniversary, Audrey committed suicide. Friends say she has been really depressed for 5 months prior to the accident and refused to talk about it with anyone. She didn't allow herself to show people how she felt inside and never talked about why she was so depressed. Friends pressured her to go to therapy but she refused. Taking the problem onto her shoulders and not sharing with anyone the problem grew and grew to a point where she couldn't handle it on her own. Audrey Cambell was a smart and bright student; it is still under curiosity to as why Audrey would want to take her own life. The police are trying to find a diary or if she would have communicated to at least one person about her depression, so far police have found nothing.
"Hey Freddie, come look at this."
Freddie walked over to Audrey and read the article over her shoulder. When he had finished he looked over at Audrey, who was wondering what he thought.
