"Please say something." Joan asked in a whisper in fear if she raised her voice any higher the tears would flow. She had to be strong now.
"I just don't know what to do any more, was it something I or your mother did?" At the sound of that the tears she tried so hard to keep inside fell down her face. He doesn't believe me. Joan had been excepting this response; but still a small portion had held some hope of he might try to understand.
"I can't explain it daddy. Why I was chosen. Or when it'll end if at all. But you and mom didn't do anything." She watched her father stand up from the kitchen chair and walk toward the counter.
"Joan its crazy! God does not exist. And even if he, she, it or whatever the hell it is won't talk to confused teenage girls!" He yelled with more force in his voice than she ever thought possible; the look in his face was full of shame and disgust at his only daughter.
"Please try to have an open mind." Joan asked her father has she watched him search through the drawer of business papers and other various information. Silence filled the room, both too upset to talk but possessing that emotion for different reasons. He reached over the counter and picked up the phone from the cradle and inputted the numbers.
"Yes I would like to have my daughter committed to your psych ward soon as possible please. Yes it is an emergency." The scream had flown out of her mouth.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
