I stare out the window in complete silence as my mother drives me home. It's perfectly sunny. Perfectly happy,but I feel so utterly in the dark,as my mother says, "What happened..?" I tense up and stay silent. "So,Leah?" I'm shaking slightly,and try to find words but am hardly able to move,and don't even realize I haven't responded. She sighs. "We can go rock climbing today. There,at least we can talk outside of the car,and...alone." I nod,remembering that my father has taken the week off of work. I don't want to see him. I despise rock climbing,but my father is worse.

I sighed and started doing sit-ups. *** I sigh as I hear my mother and father arguing. Maybe...I could sneak into Kathrine's room? My parents never let me in there. I slip out of my room,and across the hall to Kathrine's. She left when I was ten,and I never figured out why. The scar on my arm was from the last time i asked my father. As i slip into her room i see...
