The Reason Why
//chapter five//
Aimie's face was
already streaked with tears, and she was shaking. "I
can't believe it," she breathed after I had told her the
entire story.
"I know," I whispered, looking
down. I couldn't believe it either.
"So, are we, you know, still going
to see each other?" Aimie asked.
I nodded. Aimie was my only friend.
I knew she would be there for me. "Absolutely. I'll make
sure of it." I promised. Aimie held out her pinky.
"Pinky promise?" She offered a smile. "Of
course," I grinned and we shook pinkies.
"Cara, let's get going,"
Gloria yelled from downstairs. I glanced at Aimie.
"I'm scared," I whispered,
fear and pain in my eyes. "I don't even know these
people!" I tried to keep my voice down, and tears trickled
down my cheeks.
"I'll come with you,"
Aimie suggested. I could see the pain, fear, and sympathy in her
expression.
"Can Aimie come?" I called
back to Gloria, my voice cracking.
There was a pause. "Sure,"
Gloria shouted hesitantly. I turned and grinned at Aimie.
"Yes!" We giggled, and each
grabbed a box or two of my stuff. We awkwardly shuffled down the
stairs and down the driveway and plopped the boxes in the back of
Gloria's car.
"All set?" Gloria asked.
"Yup." I sighed. I texted
Aimie secretly to avoid Gloria and Stephanie hearing what I had
to say.
Just wait until you see this
house! I texted her. Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she
read the text, giving me a confused look.
What about it?
Trust me, you'll see.
