"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my...
Suddenly the door behind me squeaks open, my moms figure standing emotionlessly in front of me as she beckons me inside.
I get up and quickly walk in, or as quick as possible. I sit on the couch next to a smiling Halo and my mom who has no emotion in her face.
"Hun?" She asks and I nod, she swallows and looks at me directly before looking at Halo who nods. Halo sits back with the smallest smile noticeable on her lips.
"Yes?" I ask, using my words like River said. She sighs, "So me and Halo have been talking," she puts her hand on Halo's thigh, "We think that your making my depression worse." She says and I raise my eyebrows and sit back in my seat.
"What?" I ask sadly, "but you came back to me?" I ask and she regretfully nods. "Yes because I didn't expect this to happen, you just remind me to much of your dad."
"..what?.." I ask and she nods, "Use your words." I demand and she looks at me with hurt. "Yes." She says resentfully and I slouch, looking at my wringing hands. "But I'm not like dad.." I say softly, more to myself.
"Dad hurt me! I don't even want to get angry because I don't want to hurt you." I say, she give me a sad smile and shrugs.
"Halo thinks it's better for me to stay away from you, we'll get you adopted it'll be okay." She says and I shake my head. "You're supposed to be my mom.. you're supposed to want me.." I say quietly, thinking about every move I made:
How I made my moms depression worse, was it just because I was here. I could try not to, be here as much if she not ready to see me.
As if she can read my mind she sighs, "It's not your fault I guess." She says and I look up at her as she stands. "But me and Halo are moving out. We don't find happiness in this home anymore, so we'll take everything back. Even Brookes stuff so go through it if you want it." She says as she and Halo go up to their room.
They left me.
They had only known me for about two weeks and they already hated me. Just like everyone else. I rush up he stairs, not grabbing the crutches, not minding the pain as I storm into Brooke's room.
I looks around, admiring the room she had decorated. It was beautiful, white walls and pink and blue accents. Beautiful gold trinkets lie around the room.
But I want one thing, her favorite teddy bear, she was eighteen, but we loved teddy bears. They were comforting if nobody was around, sometimes I used to sneak one from her room at nights.
I grab it, holding it in my arms as I hear a door closing. I rush down, as if I didn't feel pain. None of the furniture was gone thank god.
I look at a note left on the coffee table, reading,
"Dearest Summer, We will be fully moved out by January first. Don't worry though, you can go to the social services to be adopted. I'm so sorry to do this again, but I feel it's better for me and you right now to not speak. Halo agrees.
Best regards, Mom"
And that's the last thing she left me, twice. The other one having been such a long time ago. I rush to the window, the blue car out of sight.
I flip in the couch, curling up into a ball with tears filing my eyes.
Well, just another proven point, it was so much different yesterday.
To be adopted....
