Yesterday, Garred woke up and we told him that he had passed out. He, of course, did not believe us. He had forgotten everything that happened yesterday. Ellie woke up a few minutes later and came outside to us. Garred had fallen asleep on the couch so we had a good time to be free.
"I told one of my friends about Garred," Ellie said.
"What?" I asked, bewildered.
She told me that she had had enough of Garred and she needed to tell someone her pain because of him. She said that her friend had acted surprised and then accused her of being a liar. Stupid little 12 year olds calling people liars. As if they weren't themselves some annoying little liars.
Everyone is a liar, so what is the purpose of calling someone else a liar when you are too? I never understood that. It always seemed so crazy to me. Did they even know the full story? No. So then why were they judging?
"They're just ignorant little bratty girls," I told Ellie. She laughed at that.
"I am here if you need anything," I smiled.
I hugged her and closed my eyes.
What was I doing with my life?
