Truth or Lie
Chapter 37
“Hey come on in” Laura
greeted me soothingly
Not wanting to say anything I walked in past her and by the time
I got the lounge room I was a little confused of the absence of
angered/relived voices I really didn’t want to hear.
“I sent them all home and I made Matt go with them”
Laura tells me knowing I was a little confused
“Come sit I’ll make some tea” she says leading
me to the kitchen where she sat me down and started with the
tea.
“Thank you” I said softly knowing she was the one
that stopped the boys from coming after me when I ran into the
bush.
“I knew you needed time,” she says with
understanding
“Did, did you um tell them?” I ask slowly
“No that’s your story to tell,” she says
handing me my tea
“Thank you” I say again
“I know, come on lets watch Finding Nemo” she says
with a small smile
“Wooh! Finding Nemo” I say with no emotion
“Come on” she says sympathetically leading me to the
lounge room and sitting down with a cup of tea each.
We watched Finding Nemo which is one of my favorites and
always cheers me up when I’m down but this time it
different I was broken, shattered I didn’t even smile I
just sat there staring at it.
By the end of the movie I was crying not for the movie but for
myself for what I had gone through I had been kidnaped by my own
father twice in six months and I had just found out that I was
adopted and I had also killed my own ‘father’ and I
didn’t even blink.
“I’m a cold heartless b*tch” I say to myself
out loud
“No you are defiantly not!” Laura says sternly moving
some of my hair out of my face so I was looking at her
properly.
“Don’t you dare be like that!” she says
appalled
“You are the most selfless, caring person I know
Zoe,” she says pulling me in as I start sobbing.
“I (hiccup) didn’t (hiccup) even (hiccup) blink
(hiccup)” I say hiccupping as I settle down a bit.
“If he was my father Zoe I would have done the same
thing” Laura tells me softly
“Lets go up to bed it’s been a long day” she
says helping me up and leading me up the stairs to my
bedroom.
After we changed into our pajamas we lay down and once we were
confortable I started thinking about everything that has happened
how I had watched Matt get bashed and had to hold all the emotion
in and most of all having the be the one to kill him to watch my
own father die at my own hand…
“Now don’t you feel guilty about this ok” Laura
says interrupting my thoughts know exactly what I was thinking
but just sighed not really bothering to answer
“Hey it wasn’t your fault ok” she says
“Yeah I know it’s just my dad is really gone
now” I say sighing again
“I just always hoped the loving dad I knew as a child might
come back one day but now that’s never going to
happen” I say softly as it really sinks in
“I know hun I hoped as well but you know what you’ve
got Matt and Zach, Alex, Meagan, Damon and Bryce, Tyler, Lachlan,
Jer and Joey, your mum and obviously me, we are your family
we’ll always going to be here whether you like it or not,
we’ll never leave you or abandon you, we’ll be here
forever and ever and ever and ever” she says with a
smile
“Thank you that means a lot and I think I really needed to
hear it,” I say giving her a small smile
“Ah there it is!” she says pointing at my face
“I haven’t seen that beautiful smile all day”
she said like it the most awesome thing ever.
I just give her another small smile
“Ok lets get some sleep you’ll need it for
tomorrow” she says flicking of the light.
So I close my eyes and pull the dooner up to mu chin but as time
wears on questions are just running through my mind and I
can’t stop it and the more I think, the more I freak
out.
It was about three o’clock I finally got to sleep letting
the darkness enfold me into a dreamless sleep.
