plans (sarah)

written by: babeestars

I cried myself to sleep that night. And the night after, and every night for the next week, I couldn't move on, not this time. I'd completely lost her. I bet her mum was standing there, she dint care her daughter was hurting, she didn't care it was tearing my apart, but she would be happy, because her little secret was safe, her dirty secret, which meant nothing could go back to normal, not for me, I was stuck in this endless avenue of agony. Me and Katie, we had had plans, we were going to go away together, we were going to go to Cornwall, to the surfing beaches, it wouldn't be for long, but I couldn't wait till we finally set the dates, it had only been an idea at first, but we thought, why not? And for her birthday, she was going clubbing, but this year she wanted me to go, I would be old enough then; I would have met her friends. And my birthday, we were going to go out to Brighton for the day, on a major shopping spree, it would have been great. And Christmas, maybe this year I would have spent it with my real family, but I hoped, more than anything, she would have been there for me. I guess now none of this would happen.
"Sarah, a letter came in the post for you today," my heart skipped a beat. "it has the school stamp on the envelope."
"oh." I said aloud before running down stairs to retrieve it. I opened it standing there in front of my adoptive parents. Out fell a pale green slip, a ticket:
"THS dance show. 6:30-9:00
good to outstanding."
"oh." I repeated.
"What it is?" my mum asked.
"Just a ticket," I said before running upstairs, still clutching it in my hand. I slammed the door behind me and lent against it, my legs gave way leaving me crumpled on the floor. This had not been a ticket for me, I didn't need one, I was in it. This had been a surprise ticket, for Katie.
