I knew I wouldn't win the argument, but I said," Can't we just go out to dinner?"

She said," if we go out Heather is coming with us."

I asked," Can't it just be us?"

She said," You are not getting out of talking to her. Sarah, you have to at least listen to her."

I said," Like you always listen to me?"

She said," Sarah, loose the attitude. We are working on learning to talk to each other. You have to talk to Heather and tell her how it felt to be forgotten."

I said," Olivia, I don't want to talk to her."

She said," I know you don't want to, but I'm telling you that you have to. Now get to work on your homework and we'll head out in an hour or two."

I did my homework until she came to get me. She said," Come on, let's go home."

I walked out to the car and we drove home. When she parked I didn't get out of the car. We were parked beside Heather's car. She looked over at me and took my hand.

She said," Tell her Sarah. Don't keep it locked up inside."

I finally got out of the car and she followed me up to the house.

Heather was standing at the stove stirring spaghetti sauce.

Olivia walked over and took the spoon.

I walked back to my room and shut the door; knowing exactly what they were doing.

I heard a soft knock on the door.

I called out," Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

She opened the door and said," Fine, you don't have to talk to me, but you do have to listen."

She sat down in my desk chair and leaned down with her elbows propped on her knees and her head propped on her hands. I was laying on my bed.

She said," I'm sorry."

I said," You forgot me."

She said," I know, and I'm so sorry. I know that you are mad at me for forgetting you."

I said quietly," I was scared."

She asked," Why were you scared?"

I sat up the top of my bed as far away from where she was sitting as I could. I didn't want her to touch me or be anywhere near me at the moment.

I said," I've had to wait like that before…"

Heather started to get up, but I said," No, stay there."

She said," Sarah, were you afraid something had happened to me?"

Olivia walked into the doorway.

I said," My mom was supposed to pick me up that day. I normally took the bus, but it was getting close to my birthday so she wanted to start shopping for my party. I sat there for hours, but she never came. Finally Olivia came, and she told me that there had been an accident. My mom promised she would never leave me, but I sat on the steps for hours and she never came back. I thought the same thing had happened to you, and Olivia came again."

Heather got up and sat down beside me.

She reached out and wrapped me in a hug.

She said," I'm sorry that I scared you. I never meant to do that to you. Sarah, I love you, I would never do anything to hurt you. Okay?"

A tear slipped down my face and I shook my head yes.

She said," Okay, let's go eat dinner, it's getting late."

We sat down together and ate dinner.

After dinner I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I hadn't come out after about twenty minutes; Heather knocked on the door.

When she went to open it I had locked the door.

I heard her and Olivia talking.

After about five minutes the door opened.

I was sitting in the corner with my face buried in a towel crying. The water in the sink and the tub was running.

Olivia turned off the water in the sink and Heather turned it off in the tub.

Olivia sat down beside me and pulled me into her arms. Heather sat down on the other side and pulled the towel away from my face. I turned and hid my face in Olivia's shoulder.

We sat there on the floor with me crying in her arms without saying anything.
