Back at her house, the AIM was how she left it. Only one person she knew on. everyone else were her mom's friends... She decided to talk to someone... it was either Artina, or her teacher... Ms. Harper...
it was too soon to call Artina back. Her head still hurt, and she wanted to talk without hearing.
"IM"
She sat down, careful not to scrape her arm on the arm of the chair. She clicked the screenname, and began typing.
Rem: err, hi? how r u??
Har: good
Rem: so, r u goin to david's thing? if u r can u tell him i said bye?
Har: well, why dont you? lol
Rem: I tried calling, but he already disconnected his fone.
Har: meant there...
Rem: i cant go.. mum's got work
Har: oh...
Rem: yea.
Har: maybe i can take you
Rem: ok
there was silence for a while, as remmy contemplated if she was joking around or serious...
"well," she thought "i guess if she was really gonna take me, she would need my address... maybe she'll tell him i said bye still..." she hoped
Rem: anyways, whats up?
Har: nothing
Rem: same here... Im bored... hehe, my dog is barking at the washing machine
Har: lol
Rem: XD
Har: I gtg
Rem: ok, so you'll tell him I said bye then?
Har: i thought i was taking u..
Rem: i thought u were joking...
Har: i picked someone up to go to a dance and you think i would let you miss out on saying goodbye to a friend??
Rem: well... erm...
Har: be ready around 2 then huh?
Rem: "err, yea, but i guess you need my address??
Har: I guess it'd be useful... email it to me, i gtg
Rem: ok, thanks, bye
Har: hey, its no problem. buh bye
Remmy's eyes started to water. Only this time, she was happy.
Her stomach growled. "food!" she thought.
She started for the kitchen. On her way through the hallway, she spotted her dance bag.
"cr*p! My dance rehearsal is tonight!"
"I have to practice!!" she thought "mum didn't go temple, she went for food!! It's to early for temple anyways! I'm so stupid! I'm supposed to be getting ready! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!
Er... i need food! NO! mom's getting food!!! err... DRESSED! PAJAMA PANTS! COSTUMES!!! and... makeup... ugh"
she hated makeup... for as long as she could remember.... she had even made up a lengthy explination as to why][i] she didnt like it.She definitely [i]wasn't the "girly girl" type... she hated that term too.
She ran upstairs... "bathroom" she thought
She opened the door and grabbed a bag. In wnt the hir putty. in went the bobby pins... and the makeup.... though, she hadnt minded it that night at Maegan's house... it was... er... different... "I'm missing something.... some..... er... god! ugfh.............. she passed the closet... SHOES!!!" She grabbed the eight pairs of shoes needed for later (three lazz, two tap, two ballet, one poointe) and shoved them in another bag, only this one cloth, stronger than the paper used for the so called "beauty products" she was made to wear.
She laid the two bags by the front door, and went back upstairs to retrieve her costumes.
Purple and Black... Pointe
Pink... (the kind of pink that wasnt bad) ballet
White and black... tap
and finally... the ugly one... burgundy... jazz
She hung them on the banister for later...
she laughed.
HEr tachers were "coming" to the recital tomorrow. She loved all her teachers...
The front door creaked open. Her family enetered, her mom bringing up the rear with a pizza
"Nice to see you're awake..." said her mom
"Err... what??" asked remmy, confused
"I went up to your room before we left, because mommy told me to tell you we were leving and u were asleep, DUH" Broke in Remmy's little sister, Jerry
Remmy mustve looked confused, because Jerry finished,
"Your face was in your pillow, you were a... sleep...."
"Oh, Right..." said remmy "I must've forgotten..."
But she hadn't been asleep, she had only been pretending. She could fool anyone with that routine.
Deep, even Breathing was the key. A groan here or there, then, once the person turned to leave, a slight movement.... Worked every time.
"How do you forget sleeping??" asked her mom
Everyone migrated into the kitchen, and got some pizza.
Remmy piled on 2 slices of pizza.
"What??" responding to the looks coming from her eldest brother, Stephen, and her mom, "I'm hungry! ever heard of it?!"
As she was eating, Remmy caught sight of her arm, and the three scard that laid there.
She looked back..
----
3 months Earlier
----
She sat in her bed, crying. Something she was doing a lot lately.Her mom yelled from downstairs,
"Oh Rebecca, Oh REBEC-CA!!!
Your computer is free!! Why dont you make my life easier and come play it?? I'd be a lot better off if i didn't expect so much from you! In fact, I hope I work myself to death tonight!!
I came home----"
Remmy let out a loud, long, scream. When she stopped, apparently so had her mom.
On the floor below, she heard cups hit the floor.
"Wont throw the glass stuff, eh??" she thought aloud.
She hid her face in her pillow, and reached for the rabbit her grandmother in indiana had given her. She held it tight and hoped for everything to be back to normal soon.
The rabbit, though, it was getting too small. She needed something to fill her arms.
It seemed lately nothing could please her mom. Nothing was ever good enough.
"And she wonders why..." Remmy thought.
