Shattered
“It’s past teatime, but there is a cluster of girls there, whispering, faces pale. News travels fast.‘Where’s Stella?’ I ask.One of them points at her office door, but before I can move towards it the door opens. Stella comes out, nods at everyone and starts to cross the room.‘Wait,’ I say, and she turns.‘Do you know what’s happened to Madison?’ I ask, and all voices cease.Stella stops in her tracks. Looks at me and her eyes are saying be quiet, but I’m not receiving.‘You know, don’t you: that Lorders came and hauled her away today. Strangely enough, the day after Astrid – your mother – came for lunch.’‘That’s enough, Riley.’‘No, it’s not. Not nearly enough; nothing is ever said. What are you going to do about it?’ Some part of me is aware that others have come in now, that everyone is silent, with eyes big and mouths hanging open. Eyes that are looking between me and Stella.‘There is nothing I can do.’‘But she’s your mother. Doesn’t that mean anything?’She doesn’t answer.I shake my head.
