Diana Comes Home

She came home in order of her conscience and the love of her mother, father, and purple wall with faded words.


She was the same, the home was not.

"Will you stay?" Her mother asked.
She didn't answer right away. Instead, she slept on the floor facing the purple wall. She was crying until she fell asleep.
That was the first tears since forever. And forever for her was started that day. The very day that she didn't want to talk about. Ever.
Her mother knew and didn't say anything. And so did her father.
Her mother also heard the muffled sound of crying. Her father didn't, for he was busying himself in the garage, doing absolutely nothing.
And they didn't say anything.

That was how that home worked since forever. They did everything and didn't say anything.

Neither of them was the same.

Every words feel so wrong. She knows that. And her friend probably knows that too. They talk about past. Memorizing. Nothing new comes out, because there isn't any. It used to be "we are there", now "she is here, she is there, and she is there". She never really thought about this, but perhaps it's true, that she's the bridge of the bond. And she's getting tired of that. She can't be that anymore. She doesn't want to. Either there's something that changed her about that or the thought of that changed her. Nothing's true come out anymore, and if it so...
