"Bye." Katelyn and I said in unison ad our parents and Olivia loaded up the car.
Breakfast was more than a little awkward this morning.
Katelyn kept glaring at Olivia. Olivia kept glaring at Jenifer, as if Jenifer shouldn't have given birth to Katelyn. My father was glaring at Katelyn and I kept my eyes on my father in case he finally snapped.
It was nerve wrecking.
"So what's first on our to do list?" Katelyn asked as I closed the door behind me.
"Clean up the kitchen from breakfast." I told her and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Why don't we talk about your anxiety attack last night?" She suggested and I froze.
"I told you I want to study psychology." She reminded me with a raised eyebrow.
I ignored her for a while and started to clean up the kitchen.
"Katelyn, I don't want to talk about it." I told her after she continued to stare at me.
"Can I just ask you two questions?" She asked and I let out a sigh.
"No."
"Then will you drop the subject?" I asked as I placed the milk in the fridge.
"Yes." She rolled her eyes and I nodded for her to continue.
"Does your dad know it's that intense?" She asked and concern made an appearance on hr face.
"He knows that I get nervous and overly worry sometimes." I told her and her eyes widened.
I don't have to tell him. He just knows.
"That's all he knows?" She asked and I nodded.
"Rose, you had a full blown attack last night. And all Charles knows is that you get nervous and worried?"
My father is a busy man and he's barely home. My internal issues should not be his concern. He's already stressed enough.
"I have it under control." I told her.
"Which leads me to my second question." She frowned.
"Yeah?"
"Are you taking medication for it?" She asked.
I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before looking at her.
"If it gets bad enough, I will talk to someone about it." I told Katelyn and she shook her head at me.
"Rose, I think it might be bad enough." She said and I shook my head to reassure her.
"You're always on edge and you're just scared all the time about things that aren't scary." She continued and I looked down at the countertop.
