Aftermath
Chapter 2.
*Dani's POV*
The world has changed. People think it hasn't, but it has. Nothing is the way it used to be. I'm not the same person I used to be.
I broke up with Josh a few weeks ago. He couldn't handle the way I was acting. But what was I supposed to do? My family was breaking up in front of my very eyes, was I supposed to just desert them and go with him because he wanted me to? I don't think so!
Everything at home is strange at the moment. The house is so full of tension, I can't stand it. Dad's avoiding us as much as he can. He thinks all of this is his fault, and I must say, he's half-way there. I know that's horrible, but it's the truth. Why did he have to do it? If it wasn't for a mistake he made 17 years ago, everything would be normal here. But he did, and it isn't.
Kirsty isn't helping things much. She also thinks everything is her fault, but it isn't. She's so depressed, I hate seeing her like this. All she does is cry, or sit around doing nothing. Not like the sister I had just a few weeks ago. She seems to have come off the worst in this little 'problem'. I wish I could do something for her, make her stop hurting. But how can I when I'm hurting as well? It's fine for me to comfort the twins and Max, but what about me? Who's going to look after me?
It used to be Josh, and Mum. But now I don't have either of them. I wish Mum was here.
Jadeis being annoying at the moment. She keeps saying that everything will be fine, don't worry, Mum will come back soon, and then we'll be a family again. I wish I had her optimism. I sometimes wonder if she really believes what she says. Probably, knowing her. It just gets so irritating! I just want to yell at her to shut up, tell her everything isn't fine, and it might never be again. But I can't. I'm supposed to look after her now. And if she wants to believe all of that stuff, I suppose she should be allowed to. Just like Max is allowed to roam around like everything is normal, nothing has happened.
It must be hard on Max. He's already been abandoned by his own parent, now it's happened again. The funny thing is, he doesn't seem to worried about it. He's still getting into trouble every second day, still coming up with the most ridiculous ways to earn money, and still being the cheerful trouble maker he's been his whole life. The only thing that's changed with him is that now he's spending almost all of his waking moments with Colleen. I can't understand why, I can't handle 5 minutes with her. But they seem to get along. Maybe Max likes Colleen because he knows she won't be going anywhere. He has someone he can rely on, finally.
I wish everything could go back to being the way it was. But I can't see how that will happen. I need to get away from here. Maybe I'll go to the city for a while, get away from everything. I've been meaning to catch up with my old friends for a while. Maybe I'll do it now. They might be able to help me get throught this.
