Light in the Attic

But Why?

"Xavier, we need to talk. I came back home, and my Aunt was in the attic, and she was cut, and now my Uncle is in the hospital." Tamara burst into tears. She knew Xavier was going to hear her in the phone.

"Ummm.... What do you want me to do?" Xavier asked. He sounded very nervous, like he didn't want Tamara to talk to him for long.

"What do you mean when you say what do you want me to do?!?. I want to go over so we can be together for a while." Tamara knew she sounded like a little whiny girl.

"Please don't, I'm begging you." He said urgently, and in the background she heard a voice, a girls voice. "Please don't talk! I'm talking to my girlfriend Tamara." He whispered. But it was to late, she heard the girls voice. Tamara took off running to Xaviers house without hanging up the phone. She arrived to Xavier's house and burst in. She took of sprinting up the stairs and into Xavier's room, and there he was in bed with another girl. She had brown hair streaked with pink. She was skinny and had brown eyes. She was on top of Xavier and they both look up when Tamara burst in.

"Tammy! I can explai-" But he never finished his question before Tamara walked up to the girl and grabbed her hair. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she lifted her up by the hair and slammed her against the wall.

"You bitch. Getting in bed with a guy who already has a girlfriend?" Then she turned around to look at Xavier. "And you bringing her here. We are through." She yelled. Right now she was seeing only red. She knew if she didn't leave she was going to end up killing someone. She stomped of to her Aunts house and into her room. She threw herself in bed, and cried, cried till her tears no longer could come. But then she realized that her aunt said not to go into the attic. She wasn't going to take orders from an old lady who doesn't give her a good explanation. She went to the door that led to the attic, and opened it.
