WHY IS HE ALWAYS YELLING AT ME?

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

He acts as if everything is my fault. He gets so angry about life and then he takes it out on me.

Even that message—that answering machine message I started writing about before—even that was rude.

“Pack a bag and take it to your Mom. She’s in the hospital with pneumonia.” Click.

That was it.

I mean, hit me over the head a little harder, why don’t you?

Not only that. Didn’t he CARE? Sure didn’t sound like it.

Me? I cared.

Cancer. Bronchitis. Pneumonia.

WHAT NEXT?

I put together a backpack in record time. I flew to the hospital on my bike. I was nearly killed when I went through a stop sign.

Mom was on oxygen when I arrived. She couldn’t really talk, so I gave her the pack, held her hand while babbling on about who knows what, and left.

I was pretty calm on the way home, until I passed City of Angels Pottery Studio. I thought about how I used to visit Mom there after school when I was little. That made me depressed.

Soon everything—stores, streets, smells—began reminding me of Mom when she was healthy.

That did it.

I started crying. Like a baby.

I never cry. What is happening to me?

I was acting as if Mom would never be healthy again. I was giving up.

When I arrived home, the house was dark and empty. It was like walking into a room without air.

I had to talk to someone.

Dawn? Not after the way she was acting toward me today.

Not Maggie, either. She was mad.

I didn’t know Ducky well enough.

So I started writing. THEN DAD HAD TO COME HOME AND START BOSSING ME AROUND.

He’s mad at the dirt in the house. He’s mad because he has no clean shirts. No raisins or nuts in the house.

AND IT’S ALL MY FAULT, OF COURSE.

I don’t know what to do.

I think I will explode.
