Chapter 89
"Why did you do it? Any of it?"
"It was you! You…you attacked us!"
"I was a child!"
"You were dangerous!"
"I wasn't twelve years old when I left!"
"And?"
"How could I have done anything to justify what you did to me?"
"You attacked me. You attacked them! Noelle was four years old, and you attacked her!"
"I was a child!" I bite back the rage, the fury, that is ready to burst out.
"You tried to kill Julia!"
"I. Was. A. child!" I finally lose my temper and shout at her.
"Well, it obviously didn't do you any permanent harm."
"No permanent harm?" I demand. "No permanent harm?" I scream at her, furious. "You know nothing! You know nothing of me! You know nothing of my life!"
"You disappeared! You vanished!"
"You didn't look for me! Your child, your only son, and you didn't look!"
"Go on then. I'm sure your life must have been so terrible." She says, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Do you honestly think that? Do you honestly think that my life was perfect?"
"It can't have been that bad!"
"You can't seriously believe that, can you?" I'm surprised by her answer.
"Go on then. Tell me."
