Whatever Happened To Whatsername?, chapter 3
Sam was lying on the floor, eating apple pie.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? You freak!" I said.
"I don't know, it's just one of those weird sensations that you get" he replied.
"Right... Well have you found a place to stay yet?"
"Yeah, I rang up some children's accommodation thing, and they said we could both stay at some place on the other side of town, it's called Billies or something"
"NO! I told Liz I would stay at her house."
"Ok then, but if you want to come stay, you can."
"I'll consider it, well bye I'm heading off for Liz's"
So I set off for Liz's, when I arrived her mum answered the door and was all over me and hugging me and apologising, I felt like telling her to back off, but I didn't because she was my friend's mum, and that would be fairly mean, and she might not let me stay. So I was just there being smothered, and that's when I began to cry, it reminded me of what mum used to do to me when I was a kid. So Liz signalled to her mum to cut it out, and told me to go upstairs to her spare room.
I walked upstairs to the room, the bed was already made, and it reminded me of how my life used to be, and then Liz walked in.
"Right, let's talk" she said.
"Ok, but do you think we could go somewhere, you know, a little more private?" I replied.
"Ok then, how about we go to the park? No one really goes there anymore, not since the new shopping place was just built."
"Ok, let me just put my jumper on."
"Ok, let's go."
So we went out the door and started walking to the park, it was now that we started the actual conversation.
"So what happened?" Liz said.
"Well, you know how I've been telling you about dad abusing us, and everything, well he cracked, he chained me to a bed and poisoned me, I got away, but he's locked in the room now, I'm really scared."
"Don't be an idiot, why would he do that, you may as well just live with it, it's not like anyone else can look after you, and he will probably come after you if you try to get away," Liz replied.
"You just don't get it do you? You have a great family, your mum isn't dead, your dad loves you, there's no drug abuse in your family, is there?" I said.
"What's that got to do with anything?" Liz said.
"You just don't get it at all!" by this stage, tears were streaming down my face, I threw my bag at Liz and started running.
"Don't deny it! You know I'm right! I always am!" Liz screamed to me.
I ignored her and kept running, I was sick of her shit, she didn't believe me at all, what best friend she turned out to be, it was true what they said about having girls as best friends, they always lie to you, and don't give a fuck. I didn't know where I was running to, but I didn't stop, I didn't even know why I was running for a second, but then I remembered, I'd had enough of Liz's bullshit.
Eventually I stopped running, and turned back, all my stuff was at Liz's, so I had to go back and get it. When I got there I saw Liz in the window balling her eyes out, I knocked on the door and her mother answered, she pointed to the front lawn, and that's where all my stuff was, so I gathered it all up and began walking down town boulevard, to me the boulevard of broken dreams.
