“You’re wrong!”
I screamed at the poor woman, as if saying it would make it true.
“No im afraid I’m not…. I’m so sorry. We did all we could.”
“No!”
I screamed falling to the linoleum floor breaking down in sobs, my mother leaned down and wrapped her arms around me. It was obvious she was trying to stay calm, but failing completely. Why did it have to be him. I knew these things happened, everyone did, but I never expected them to happen to me. God no. I couldn’t push the last thing I said to him from my mind. “Dad, why do you even try? Why do you try to understand when you never will! You’re better offJust leaving me alone!” I remember I bit his head off for trying to cheer me up when Matt broke up with me. I pushed myself away from my mom, and slowly walked Towards the green exit sign attempting to regain my composure. No one tried to stop me.
I kept moving until I couldn’t stand to keep from thinking. I gave up and curled up in a ball letting the pain take over.
