Burning Question
JUNE11th, 2011
Before I would leave for S.C, I had to have a question answered. Ever since Margaret told me about her secret there was one thing that still made me think.
Just what exactly did Repar do to have Margaret forgive him? No one would simply forgive their rapist overnight. It was just one of those things that bothered me to no end. I had to tie this loose end so I could finally just forget about Margaret.
I went to the coffee shop to see if Eileen knew, since she's her closest friend but she wasn't there today, probably in sick or something.
Who else would know?
Amy! I remember getting her number at Margaret's birthday party. Maybe she can tell me.
[Me]: Amy, it's me Mordecai, I need to ask you something.
[Amy]: What is it?
[Me]: It's about Margaret.
[Amy]: Whatever it is, it's none of your business
[Me]: What do you mean by that?
[Amy]: Look, just stop talking to me.
Just as I saw that text, Amy walked into the coffee shop.
Great…
She went to Margaret once she saw her. I was still baffled by the response she gave me. Technically, it is my business; Margaret told me about this in the first place and put me into this situation.
I just sat there at the table, hoping nothing else would happen.
But something did. A little while later, I got a text from Amy.
[Amy]: Mordecai, you have no right to know about my personal life. It's my business and not yours. Goodbye –Margaret-
I clenched the phone.
Breath.
This is how she responds?
Breath.
Literally a few feet away and she couldn't just walk up to me and talk about it?
Breath.
Like some kind of coward?
Inhale, exhale.
I did just that, suppressing my anger, but only by a little.
I have to get out of here. I have to start packing. If this is the closure that I've been wanting...then I got screwed over.
