So what do you think about the story so far?

Please R&R


I went out with Sarah that afternoon to get pizza. We sat outside Pete's Pizza talking.

She asked," Have you really talked to anyone yet?"

I said," I talked to Danielle. She slept in my room last night on the floor, but no one besides Matt has even tried to talk to me."

She asked," What about Annie?"

I looked down. I started to answer but I couldn't figure out what to say.

She said," She's really not a bad person Sarah."

I said," She stole my family. She was the other woman. How can purposely breaking up someone's family make you a good person?"

She said," You should talk to her though, tell her how you feel. She's a really good listener. You can't fix anything until you try."

I said," I don't want to fix anything with them. The only thing I want to fix is that fact that I wasn't in the car."

I looked away and then asked," Can you take me back to their house please?"

She said," Not yet, we have to talk."

I said," I'm done talking."

She said," I'm not. What do you mean about fixing the fact you weren't in the car?"

I said," We were supposed to always be together. I messed it up. I should be with them. We were going to always be together."

She looked at me and said," I never got to meet you mom, but from Matt has told me, I don't think that's what she would want for you. No mom would ever want her child to die, for any reason. You are not alone Sarah. You aren't. And I know it seems like you are, but I promise that you aren't. You have me and matt and Danielle, and all of your sisters and your dad. Just give it time."

I looked away and said," Time is not something we have a lot of."

After sitting there in silence for a half hour more Sarah got the check and we went back to the house.

I walked up to my room and shut the door behind me. I walked around the boxes and slid down beside my bed in tears.

I missed them so much. This wasn't my home, and these people weren't my family.

I just wanted to go back home. Our apartment wasn't the safest place in the world, but it was clean, and it was my home.

I just wanted to go home.


Sorry it's short finals have me stressed…I'll try to write more later, but I start a new job in a few weeks and it's almost summer break!
