EXACTLY 2:48 IN THE AFTERNOON,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST
My Forever Dad isnât home. He is supposed to be here when I get off the bus but I donât see his car in the driveway. He stopped working after the kidnapping so that he could take care of me. Maybe he is at another doctorâs appointment. He goes to the doctorâs all the time now.
I want to tell him that I need to talk with Patrice again. Just on the phone. I need to talk with Patrice now so that she will tell the social workers that Gloria gets mad and hits. I need to tell her that they canât leave her alone with my Baby Doll.
The bus pulls away behind me. I go inside. I put my backpack down in my room and go to the stairs. And listen.
I hear my Forever Momâs door close.
I donât want to go up there but I have to. My Forever Dad said itâs for the best if I just leave my Forever Mom alone. But I have to ask someone to call Patrice. My Baby Doll isnât safe.
I walk up the stairs as quiet as I can. I stop in front of the door to the bedroom. I knock.
She doesnât say Come on in or Wait just a minute or anything. I donât hear any sound at all.
So I open the door.
She is on the bed holding Baby Wendy. Her eyes are thin slits. âGinny, get out of here!â she growls.
âBut I need toââ
âNow!â
I take a deep breath. I have to stay calm. âI need toââ I say again but this time she interrupts me.
With a yell.
âGinny, get the hell out of here! Stay away from me and my baby!â
So I close my eyes and yell back, âI need to talk with Patrice!â
Then I hear Baby Wendy crying. Right there in front of me.
I step forward. I know how to help a crying baby.
My Forever Mom jumps up fast.
I back up.
But the crying is getting louder so I start saying, âUsh, ush, ush.â I put out my hands to pick up the baby.
Something hits my face. It knocks me onto the floor.
The crying gets softer. It is far away. My head hurts and I hear footsteps. I hear the front door shut. I get up on my knees. My Forever Mom is gone and Baby Wendy is gone and I donât hear the crying anymore but then I hear the car. When I stand up and look out the window I see it backing up. It backs onto the street and zooms away.
