LASt Time:
I Faith Bolton had reached my breaking point…
Chapter4 Faith's POV
Today is Monday and school was starting soon. I sighed and got up. I went to the bathroom. Emma and I had connecting bathrooms so I saw her brushing her teeth when I walked in. I reached for the toothpaste and my toothbrush. While I was brushing Emma looked at me. I rinsed and cleaned my toothbrush and looked at her.
"What?" I asked her. My voice sounded weak as I heard myself talk.
"Matt and I heard you last night. We think it's wrong of what you said to dad." she said to me.
"Well Emma it's true. I mean hello I'm the freak in this family. Mom wouldn't have gone into a coma if it wasn't for me and….it's true everything's my fault." I said to her.
"Who were you talking to when dad left the room?" she asked me.
"It doesn't mater because you won't believe me." I said to her and turned to walk away, but I felt her hand on my wrist, keeping me back.
"Faith, come on were like triplet's I can feel something's wrong with you" she said.
"Its mom…ever since I fell done the stairs she's been talking to me in my dreams and during classes and all." I said to her with out looking at her.
"Oh come on, Fait not this again." Emma said letting go of my wrist.
"You see I told you!" I said to her. I walked into my room and slammed the door to the bathroom. I went to my dresser and got changed into my cloths. I grabbed my books and walked downstairs. I was gonna walk into the kitchen, but I heard Matt taking to dad.
"Dad?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Why was Faith yelling?" matt asked.
"I don't know son."
"You do know she's a freak. I hear her talking to her self sometimes."
"Hey, watch it buddy your mom did the same thing." Dad said laughing.
"Well still. I mean she's acting so weird. I think you and mom adopted her." Matt said laughing.
"Matt, stop it. Your sister went through hell with your mother." Dad said to Matt. Matt shut his mouth and got up form the table.
"Well, I'm just saying. Hey, my game is tonight you're gonna be there right?" Matt asked.
"Sure." He said smiling.
I didn't feel like eating so I turned for the door and walked out. I shut it quietly and walked to school. Once I got there I went to my locker. Kea my friend was there too.
"Hey Faith." She said to me.
"Key, K." I said.
"What's wrong you seem down?" She asked me.
"Ugh I'm just tired is all." I said to her.
"Ok, well I want you to meet me in the theater during free period." She said.
"Wait, what are you doing this time." I asked her putting a book in my locker and taking a different one out.
"Faith, come on you have to try out!" Kea said. She was annoying me to try out for the musical that was coming up. She heard me sing and she says I have an amazing voice. Better than Emma's.
"It's Em's thing!" I said.
"Yeah, like the decathlon team, which you're better at and then Basketball which is Matt's thing, but your better at it." Kea said.
"Yes, but Kea, you don't understand they hate me as it is." I Said to her. Tears were burning in my eyes.
"Faith,-." she was saying, but I cut her off.
"Ok, fine I'll try out, but you have to come with me!" I said giving in.
"Ok." She said smiling at her good work.
So math class was a blur. Mom didn't try a contact me yet…ok free period. I signed up for single additions. I sat way in the back with Kea (You know where Gabriella and Troy were). Kelsi is the drama teacher now. Mrs. Darbus retired last year giving Kelsi the job.
"Ok, Now Emma You may sing your song." Kelsi said to Emma as she walked up the stage. She pressed play on a CD player that was sitting on top of the piano. (Ok I don't know what song to play for her so leave me alone lol)
"Nicely done Emma" Kelsi said.
"Thanks Mrs. Cross." Emma said walking down the steps of the stage. She took her seat with her friends.
"Ok, Faith Bolton." Kelsi called out.
"Go." Kea said pushing me up. I started walking down the aisle and towards the stage. I looked back at Emma and her mouth was hanging open. What was I doing?
I put in a CD and pressed play. I listened to this CD every night when I went to bed and the music that filled my ears was filling the theater. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breathe. Keeping my eyes closed I sang the song my mother and father sang…
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That
we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different
than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're
separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to
believe
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If
we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're
breakin' free
Ohhhh
Can you feel it building
Like a wave
the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in
our very souls
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can
see
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're
trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Ohhhh runnin'
Climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking
free
Ohhh , yeah
More than hope
More than faith
This is
true
This is fate
And together
We see it comin'
More
than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us
breakin' free
Soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star
in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah
we're breaking free
Breaking free
Were runnin'
Ohhhh,
climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's
the time
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
Ohhh,
we're breaking free
Ohhhh
You know the world can see us
In
a way that's different than who we are
"Faith, that was so good. You have your mother's voice." Kelsi said, but I just ran off the stage and ran up the aisle because I saw the death glare Emma was sending to me. With Kea right by my side I ran up to my dad's secret spot. Once I got up there I went over to the railing leaning over it taking in big breaths.
"I cannot believe I just did that." I said to myself.
"Come on faith we have class." She said to me. We went to class. The day was dreading slowly and mom still didn't talk to me. Soon the last bell rang and I went to my locker.
As son as I got my books I started walking home. When I got home I went up stairs and into my room. My dad was in the living room and I don't think he noticed I was home. Then I heard the front door slam open.
"Emma, what's going on?" I heard my dad say.
"Listen to this!" Emma said. Sonly my voice was singing the song I was singing earlier. She recorded me. Once my voice was done I heard her say;
"Dad, you have t tell her t back off on the musical!" Emma yelled.
"Wait, Faith sang that?"
"Yes!" Emma said. I heard someone's footsteps coming up the stairs. A knock on my door came.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Faith, it's me your dad." He said. He opened the door and sat down beside me on my bed.
"You have your mother's voice." He said to me.
"Wait, your taking her side! Dad she never sang in her life and I'm the one who did the musicals!" Emma said from my open door. I stood up and walked over to her.
"You're not the only one who can sing! Well you wanna know what? I'm thinking of joining your decathlon team and Matt's Basketball team and I'm doing the musical! If you don't like it then get over it!" I yelled at her face. I pushed aside her and ran down the stairs and out the front door passed Matt and his friends. I ran towards my mom's favorite spot…
Troy'S POV
I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"Did you just see the way she talked to me dad?" Emma asked me.
"Sweetie just go do your homework." I said getting off the bed and going downstairs. I went to the kitchen knowing I should give Faith her space. I heard Emma telling Matt what happened and him screaming "What? She is not signing up for basketball!"
I wish Gabriella was here she would know what to do…
