Until Death do us part, chapter 1
I'm lying on my bed. Thinking, thinking of the accident. Blood everywhere... Amy lying over my dad... A knife in his chest... The letter... Yes, the letter... And the present... My birthday... It was my birthday...
"AMY WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!"
"It... It was self-defense"
"YOU KILLED MY FATHER! WHAT WILL JAKE THINK?!?!?"
"Just... Call 9-1-1."
"BIG HELP THAT WILL DO NOW!"...
My eyes opening... I see my room... The light... Bright light... I must have drifted off to sleep.
"Mattie! Emma's here!" Amys said.
Ahhhh... Emma... My closest friend...
"Hey Mattie." A tall, slender, red haired girl siad.
"Hey Emma." A taller, equally slender thick brown haired girl they call Mattie said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Somehow I know she dosn't mean my break-up with Ethan.
"He was my Dad, sure he was an abusive drunk, but I still loved him ya know? I saw her after she did it... I forgave her after... I saw... What he did to her... I understood because he used to hurt Jake and I too... I still have scars." I could feel tears streaming down my face now, and Emmas arms holding all that was left of me.
"It's okay Mattie... It wasn't that long ago... It was an accident." Silence. Long, burning, ripping, silence.
"Anyways, tomarrow is the first day... Of.. Um... School and I was thinking, since we're in the same classes and everything, we could go together..." she's trying really hard to make this friendship work, I should go along with it.
"Yeah, yeah sure, that would be great" cool. That made her face light up.
"Really? Alright... Um... I'll pick you up tomarrow at 7:30 okay?" I really don't want to.
"Sounds... Fine." God. Why have I turned so nice all off a suden? No wonder she's so happy.
"I guess I'll see you tomarrow." Alright, I supose I should give her some credit, her, next to a goth... Dosn't really fit. Thats why I think this friendship should last quiet a while.
"Maybe we could find you a boyfriend this year, one you trust?" can she ever just shut up and leave?
"Um... I don't know Emma, basically I'm just pissed off at the world right now, as you well know, and I don't think I'm even close to being able to trust a guy." Damn! She can't take a hint!
"Well, I got to go Mattie, I just came by to see how you were." Emma said asa she walked out the door. Finally... She's gone.
Maybe I will find a boyfriend, or maybe I won't, does it really matter? I will they would all stop being concerned about me, I'm 17 I can handle myself. 6:00. I should probably go down stairs, Amy is probably making dinner. Walking... Walking... Ahhh... The kitchen.
"I was thinking Mattie.." Amy said. Oh no. She's going to want to make a motherly daughterly bond, try and make a family.
"Maybe you would like to get... Maybe some therapy? Just to get some grief off your chest." Why does everyone need to know what I think and Feel at all times?
"No, I've been down that road once before, and I'm not planning on going down it again." I have a feeling she won't bring up that subject again.
"Go get your brother for dinner please"
"JAKE GET YOU ASS DOWN HERE DINNERS READY!" well, she told me to get him.
Steak... Nasty... Anyone who really know me would know that I only eat hamburgers, pizza, and french fries. Thats it.
The next day I road to school next to Emma in Silence, in fact, the whole day was silence for me. Emma and I started our project on WWII in silence, we ate our lunch in silence, and she and I even walked home in silence.
Well, I guess I'll see you tomarrow Mattie." Emma said as we aproached my house.
"Later Emma." I replied.
No one knew that that was the last time anyone would see her...
