The next morning, I woke up early to see if I could catch a glimpse
of Elizabeth at her house. I went up to her house and peered through the
window.
Elizabeth was sitting down drinking a glass of milk, while her brother wolfed down bacon and eggs.
"You don't put make enough bacon, Elizabeth, u idiot," he yelled
" Sorry Brian," she said with her head bowed down.
" I take u in, and this is what u do to repay me, u little ritard," he yelled. Elizabeth bowed her head, and nodded. Brian through his fork at her, and it landed in front of her.
" You'd better be a little more appreciative, u little idiot. Or else you'll be back out on the streets," he muttered, before leaving the table and going off to work.
With tears in her eyes, Elizabeth said, "Goodbye Brian."
" Bye idiot," he muttered. I hid behind a bush as he passed by. I saw Elizabeth, with tears in her eyes, and sobbing at the table. My heart wrenched at the sight. She was bandaging what seemed to be cut marks at the top of her shoulder. The moment Brian's car was out of sight, I knocked on the door. Elizabeth opened it, with watery eyes.
" Oh, hi Landon," she said, almost sadly.
" Hi, can I cum in?" I asked
" Oh sure," she said. She had covered the cuts with her shirt.
" I was looking through the window," I said while sitting down on her kitchen table. Elizabeth looked almost surprised, as she paused for a moment while pouring some orange juice into a glass.
" You did? You saw my brother?" she asked. I looked at her and nodded. She brought me a a glass of orange juice and one for herself
" Ya, he didn't seem to happy," I said, to her.
" He's like that sometimes," she said plainly. "I'm used to it now."
" I also saw, that you had cuts on your arm," I said. She stopped drinking her orange juice, suddenly.
" Ya, and?" she asked, almost harshly.
" Well, I was just wondering where you got them from," I said, trying to make it sound like an innocent question.
" I cut myself," she answered plainly. Ok…. I wasn't expecting that. I thought maybe she had fallen down, or maybe a stray animal, like a cat did it. But, no, she did.
" Why?" I asked.
" Well, sometimes, I just get sad, yanno, like you can't take it anymore. So I cut myself," she said, grimly.
" I see.." I actually didn't really see, though. Why would she do such a thing to herself? But then, again, she might just be lying. So we left it that.
" Where are you off to?" I asked.
" I'm not going anywhere," she said plainly. She didn't seem to be much in the mood for talking or anything. She seemed to be really down in the dumps.
" You should go now, I don't wanna keep you," she said hurriedly. She didn't seem to be the same at all.
" Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" I asked her gently.
" No Landon, I'm fine."
" Are you sure?" I asked
" I'm sure." I nodded and then left. As I walked away from her house, I had a strange feeling that she wasn't telling me something, that she was keeping something from me.
There was something else going on……..I could feel it.
