Hey Sarah, come on, kiddo. Time to get up. fine mom. Sarah says playfully at rainbow but then frowns and tears began flowing down her cheeks. sorry rainbow i shouldn't have joked like that.
It's ok kiddo, I know it hurts but things will get better, Rainbow says as she wipes Sarah's tears
Sarah gives a soft smile, putting her hand on top of rainbows. i know rainbow. i know.
i,m sure your mom would be proud of the young lady you,ve become.
Thanks Rainbow. That means a lot. No problem kiddo, now let get to ready.
but i,m pretty much already ready. Books? In my bag homework and school supplies? Same place Rainbow. hair and teeth brushed? Rainbow gives a smirk knowingly.
God bless America, Sarah sighs and goes to brush her teeth, letting rainbow doing her hair on the couch afterward while putting deodorant on her. Do I really need this on Sarah complains. yes now hold still. Ok now we can go, kiddo. Wait! My music player and headphones.
Rainbow clears her throat, holding her headphones with one finger and the player in the other. oh heh heh heh. Sarah blushes and rubs the back of her head at the smug look on rainbow's face. Thanks. Sarah says as she puts them on listening to smile like you mean it walking to school.
Alica comes up to Sarah. hey can we talk? As far a i,m concerned after yesterday, No not really.
Just hear me out. Sarah gives Alicia a agrvated look. Alica looks down and away, rubbing her neck. listen i,m really sorry about yesterday i really did,t mean for it to come off as condescending and poking fun of a serious session. i,m sorry Sarah, i shouldn't have chosen my words and tone more carefully.
relizeing alicas words are genuine, she smiles. Ok you're forgiven just this once, Alicia.
Hey Alicia. ya Sarah? would you like to join me in the library later? Sarah asks hopefully. Sure, why not.
at the library
So if you don,t mind me asking what happened? Sarah sighs sadly. It's not a day i like to remember.
It happened on my 6th birthday we were headed back home from what was at the time the best lil party i ever had. Heh. A big long rectilinear truck hit half way home. id later learn its called a 6 wheeler. but anyway after we got hit mommys airbag never deployed, and she died
and your dad? life in prison for sexul acts twords a miner. And i live with rainbow now at mommy's house. Alicia was curious who the miner was but she already had a good idea who.
Oh man Sarah i,m sorry i had no idea. its ok Alica, it,s nothing you did. Sarah says trying not to cry. i know... silence fell over the library. Hey let's get outta here,this place is depressing.
Heh heh heh. ya ok Sarah says with a sad yet warm smile
