Fiction
The story of a girl who is doing everything to hurt herself
and a mother who would try anything to try to save her. True, she had stopped coming down for breakfast. Stayed up
in her room, ran out the door late for school, missed the
bus and had to have a ride. But you think, well, that's how
they are, aren't they, teenagers? And you try to remember
how you were, but you were different and the times were
different and it was so long ago. And she's suddenly so
angry at you, but then, another time, she's just the same.
She's just your little girl. You sit with her and you talk
about something, or you go shopping for school clothes and
everything seems all right. And you forget how you stood in
her room and how the center of your stomach felt so cold.
When you found the cigarette. When you found the blue pipe.
When you found the little bag she said was aspirin.
