Whisper
“Get what you need.”
Heather crossed her arms and stood arrow straight. “You lied to me.”
Whisper couldn’t fathom what she’d lied about.
She only told untruths when avoidance didn’t get the job done. Whatever she’d done, she was sorry.
“Please hurry, Heather. We need to leave.”
“I’m not going anywhere with a stripper.” Whisper froze in the kitchen, her hand touching the wad of cash in the coffee can.
“As a matter of fact, I’m not leaving, period.” Whisper turned toward Heather and found a red-fa...ced, young woman who looked to be on the brink of an explosion.
“I’ll explain when we’re on the road.”
“No.” Heather said, “I’m not leaving. I won’t.
You’re not my sister, my mother or anyone important. You leave. Take whatever you want. I’m staying with Corey.”
“Honey, you’re sixteen. There will be other boys.”
“Don’t call me honey! It makes you sound like a slut and a stripper.”
Heather ran to her room and slammed the door.
The words stung but Heather didn’t mean them.MoreLess
