DWP Drabble Challenge -- When I'm Gone by Eminem
"You're fucking lying, again!"
Cassidy couldn't believe the fight she was hearing, and neither would her sister.
The familiar voice of her step mother crying made her shudder, wondering if she should just walk away. Maybe that this was a bad dream, "Miranda-I-I can't. Please, just sit down or--"
"You really think I would? Sneaking around as you have. What did you think you were going to get away with it? That I wouldn't notice?" The "Ice Queen's" desperate shrieking made the thirteen year old tear up, shaking her head at the situation and the tones used. What could possibly be so bad that they were fighting like--
"I'm dying, honey."
Silence. Silence for achingly long minutes. A thump was heard and the girl assumed her mother finally sat down. The protest and thought she was about to make died in her throat. How could she tell her sister that the best thing in their lives was going to-to go.. away? How could she admit to having heard it, knowing how hurt her mothers would be? Not only at the eavesdropping but knowing she heard? Cassidy trembled, still unbelieving.
"Wh-what?"
The near whisper was enough for the adolescent and she fled. She'd wake up in her bed with Carrie shaking her for breakfast. She just knew it.
