Crystal Caves (2015)
“I ate dinner, even though I don’t remember what I ate, although I do remember the way E looked at me, like he was trying to figure me out or something.
Danny and Fabe dominated the conversation, and Owen chimed in once or twice, but Mother didn’t say anything.
She didn’t look at me either.
I couldn’t look at the city or stare at my reflection in the windows. I just had to get through the meal, and I did.
Then I went to my room.
Where I am now, heart pounding. Part of me still feels like running..., but Mother’s right. What’ll happen next? At least in this city. She and Owen are big deals here, and that could backfire on me.
Tiff says I never consider the consequences, but I am right now.
And I’m done. I’ve had it with everything.
I glance at the bed that’s always been too big for me, the room that is more than I need, the bathroom that is some kind of religious experience, and I realize I can do a bunch of things.
I can collapse in tears on the bed, sobbing because Mother treated me badly.MoreLess
