Chapter 2: Home Again
Mary stepped out of the taxicab that stopped in front of the Camden house. She pulled her luggage, which consisted of three bags packed with everything Carlos hadn't taken from her, out along with her.
Mary faced the cabdriver. "How much?"
"16.38." The cabdriver replied.
Mary handed him a twenty. "Keep the change."
"Gee thanks lady." The cabdriver said and drove off.
As for Mary, she grabbed her bags and headed up to the front door. She rang the doorbell.
Annie answered it. "MARY!!! I wasn't expecting you to come home! What a great surprise!" God, was she high or something?
(-----)
"What do you mean you got a divorce?!" Eric and Annie asked Mary at the same time.
The three were seated in the living room. Mary had put her stuff up in the attic bedroom earlier that day. Now, she had just explained to her parents why she was back to stay.
"He was cheating on me. What did you expect me to do? Stay with him?" Mary asked her parents.
"Mary, you could've at least tired to get counseling. You know how your father and I feel about that evil 'd' word." Annie told Mary. Mary could've sworn Annie was giving her the 'evil-eye' as she said this.
"Mom, it just wasn't meant to be." Mary told her mother, who had flames in her eyes.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WASN'T MEANT TO BE'?! MARRIAGE IS FOREVER!!!" Annie fumed angrily.
"Annie, clam down. It was Mary's decision ..." Mary smiled, at least one of her parents was on her side. "We can't help it if it was a bad one." Mary's smile quickly twisted into an angry frown.
Some welcome this was.
(-----)
Everyone was in the Camden family dining room for dinner. This included Mary, Annie, Eric, Lucy, Kevin, Simon, Ruthie, Sam, and David. And a bunch of people Ruthie, Simon, or Lucy dragged in who called themselves Peter, Cecilia, Chandler, and Roxanne.
The room was deadly with silence.
"So?" Mary said, trying to strike up conversation in the quiet room. "Anyone see any good movies lately?"
No replies came.
"Hussy." Mary heard Chandler whisper angrily to Roxanne.
"No good liar." She heard Roxanne shoot back.
Mary turned to Lucy. "What's with them?"
"Don't mind them, they just broke up." Lucy replied.
The rest of dinner seemed to slide by.
(-----)
"Eric, I always knew one of our kids would end up as a failure! I mean, divorce! This is outrageous! I still can't believe how screwed up Mary's become over the years!" Mary could hear her mother screaming all the way up in the attic bedroom.
"So that's what she thinks of me as, a screwed up failure." Mary said to herself as she laid down on her bed.
"I don't think you're a failure, Mary." Ruthie said as she walked out of the bathroom.
"You don't?" Mary asked.
"I'm mean, you haven't made some smart choices over the years. But you're certainly not what mom says you are." Ruthie told her.
Mary smiled. "Thanks, I needed to hear that."
Ruthie smiled and nodded. "By the way, welcome home Mary."
Mary all of a sudden felt happy. At least someone had welcomed her home.
It actually felt kind of good to be home again. At least that's how Ruthie just made her feel. Welcomed. Mary Camden had been welcomed for once.
-Finally I've found
That I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send me the only true friend
I call mine-
