Opened
Eyes
PART TWENTY-TWO
"Mom, I need your car keys." I said,
as I held out my hand. My mother sat there, holding Mrs. Dockson
in her arms as she rocked back and forth. My mom didn't ask
me any questions, she handed me the keys and whispered,
"Be careful." I shook my head, glanced at
Carter one last time and walked away.
The air felt like poison. The stars didn't twinkle anymore,
it's almost as if they were just captured in a picture. Cars
pulled in and pulled out of the parking lot. Some were lucky to
be going home, leaving the God awful place, and others, were just
pulling in to begin their nightmare. I jerked open the door to my
Mom's car and rode off. Her rosary beads that were tied to
the head set mirror shifted back and forth. I busted out into
tears, as gripped the steering wheel. Then, I pulled into
Aaron's driveway. Aaron and Jack were sitting outside on the
porch next to a bond fire that they made. I quickly took out the
keys, and slammed the door shut. Aaron sprang to his feet and
raced over to me.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" I screamed.
"Baby, baby, what's wrong?" Asked Aaron,
confused.
"Don't even play this game." I said.
"What...game?" He asked, glancing back at Jack. Jack
shrugged his shoulders.
"What did you do to Carter?" I asked.
"Hun,
come sit down." Aaron said, leading me next to Jack. I
jereked away.
"No. What did you do to Carter?" I repeated.
"Jack...go inside." Aaron said. Jack ran into
Aaron's house like a weak puppy, obeying his master.
"Couldn't
you tell?" Aaron asked.
"Tell what?" I asked in confusion.
"What
Carter was doing." He said.
"What?
What are you talking about?" Now all I could picture was me
standing up against that glass window, looking inside to Carter
laying on his bed with his eyes sealed shut.
"He was trying to break us apart!" Aaron cried, holding
onto my hand. I shook my head at him, denying what he was saying.
"I know it's hard for you to see, but he was trying to
get rid of me! At the dance, he took you away, he waited up for
you after the movie that night...he waited at your house.
He's always with you in school." Aaron claimed.
"And so what did you do?" I asked.
"Jack, Sam, and I took care of him. Taught him a lesson.
Jamie, that's how much I love you." He said and wrapped
his arms around me. I held onto my head, pulling out my hair.
"So you decided to try and kill him?" I asked with
tears streaming down my eyes.
"I
didn't mean to, I mean, I guess we're all just too
strong." He said and chuckled.
"DON'T
LAUGH. YOUR A FREAKIN PSYCHO." I yelled.
"Jamie, Jamie. Ssssh. Don't say that." He said, and
grabbed me.
"Get off of me!" I screamed.
"God dammit Jamie, SHUT UP!" He yelled, forcing me down
to the driveway.
"Let go, let go, let go!" I said, collapsing to
the hard pavement.
