You had wanted to scream.
You had wanted to scream then and you wanted to scream now.
But you didn't, you had gone to bed and pretended like nothing was wrong. You pretended like it did terrify you that your father was a psychotic murderer. You pretended like you weren't worried of what powers you may posses, or what else you may have inherited from him.
You get up out of bed, doing your usual morning routine before meeting Peter to walk to catch the train to school. You didn't say much to each other on the way. There was nothing to say. He just held your hand and gave you a reassuring smile.
When you got to school you saw Liz standing with her Mum, clearing out her locker. 'Oh my god Liz.' You thought to yourself, mentally facepalming. You had completely forgot with all that had been going on with you these last few days. Liz was just about to lose her Dad, he was going to jail. And part of that was because of you, and Peter. You knew inside that you would never truly forgive him for what he did to the both of you. But Liz had done nothing wrong, and she was going to lose her Dad.
You run up to her, throwing your arms around her.
"Oh my god Liz, I'm so sorry." You say into her shoulder.
She hugs you back and you stand there together. Eventually you pull away, tears in both of your eyes.
"Where are you going?" You ask, looking around at the contents of her locker, now sitting in a box.
"Oregon, Dad doesn't want us here during the trial."
You hug her again, "I'm gonna miss you."
"I'll miss you too." She replies.
"You have to promise that you'll call everyday. Okay?"
She nods, giving you one last hug before following her Mum out the door.
And then she was gone, your best friend. You only knew her a short time but you felt like you could have shared all your secrets with her. She had always been there for you, when you were the new kid, whenever you felt self conscious, about yourself, about your height. She was always there. And now she was gone.
You turn to Peter and lay your head on his chest, fighting back tears.
