YOU’VE GOT ME FEELING EMOTIONS

Mardi-Overbrook-Journal.docx

The two weeks after Molly moved into Fair Haven and Trent dumped me and I started working at the Cheesemonger were the worst in my entire life.

Okay, first let me admit that I’ve led a pretty sheltered life. My family’s rich, and, you know, there’s a pretty good chance I’m going to live, well, forever. So any complaining I do comes with a pretty big asterisk next to it. And I’m not so self-involved that I don’t know that a breakup isn’t the end of the world. There’ll be other boys. Other Trents even.

Who knows, there might even be Trent again.

But screw that. Screw his This isn’t forever. Screw keeping perspective and putting a good face on it and making the best of a bad situation. When Trent told me on the beach that he couldn’t be with me, my first thought was that he’d reached inside my chest and ripped out my heart, and my second thought was that the ground had opened up and swallowed me, and my third thought was that if I didn’t put as much space between me and Trent as possible, I was going to reach inside his chest and rip out his heart and dig a hole on the beach and bury the body right there.

So I ran. And what made it all a hundred, a million times worse was that the only thing I could think of was running straight to Molly and telling her everything that had happened and crying on her shoulder and eating pint after pint of Ben & Jerry’s until even my divine body felt bloated with sugar and cream. But with each step I took away from Trent, I knew I was getting farther and farther away from Molly as well. She’d made it clear: she’d rather be with a mother she didn’t know than her own family. And somehow I knew that if I tried to explain any of this to Dad or Ingrid or Freya, they’d end up taking Trent’s side. For the first time in my life, I was alone.

Then, one afternoon, Molly walked into the Cheesemonger.

“Mardi!” she said, obviously surprised to find me working there.

I reached out a hand, and the door swung shut. I had never done anything like this before, but I could feel the energy surging through my body.

“Door, lock!” The dead bolt slammed in the door. “Shades, down!” The shades fell with a thump, plunging the store into twilight.

“Okay, sis,” I said, turning to Molly. “It’s just you and me. We need to talk.”

For a long moment, we stood there in semidarkness. Suddenly, the lights snapped on of their own accord. A half second later, they snapped off with a loud pop, and then I heard the motor power down on the refrigerated cases.

“Was that you?” I said.

“I guess.” Molly shrugged. “It’s been happening a lot lately.”

“You know what else has been happening a lot lately? I know things that I didn’t know I knew,
