one,” Katie said in a raised voice.
“What on earth are you talking about? And you better lower your voice when you are talking to me young lady,” her mom replied in an authoritative voice, as she turned towards Katie, with her hands on her hips.
“You know what I am talking about. The letter mom. The letter you gave me at the post office,” she said with tears streaming down her face again.
“It was in the mailbox with your name on it. Did you want me to leave it there? What was in it that made you so upset?”
Katie was getting even madder that her mom was not just admitting that she had done this as a joke. “As if you didn’t already know, it was a letter that was supposed to be from Jackson. How could you send me something like that?” Katie said in the harshest voice her mother had ever heard.
“First of all Katie let me tell you one more time to change your tone with me. Let me see the letter so that I can look at what has you so upset,” her mom said as she came closer to the doorway.
Katie handed it to her and went to sit on the couch in the living room. Her mom followed her reading the words on the paper. When Katie looked at her mom, she saw the tears streaming down her face. Katie knew her mom and dad had to have something to do with this, so she didn’t know why her mom was crying.
When her mom was finished reading the note she sat next to Katie and said,” I don’t know where this came from honey, but it sounds to me like someone wants you to know that they are there for you when you need them. It was probably just a friend of yours who thought they were helping you.”
Katie hadn’t thought about that before she blew up at her mom. “None of my friends would do something like that to get my attention mom. This was a very cruel thing to d. I am so mad I could scream right now,” Katie said as she grabbed a pillow and stuck it to her face as she let out the loudest muffled scream her mother had ever heard. When Katie was finished she thought about how good it felt, so she did it one more time.
Her mom waited for her to finish still holding the letter. She honestly had no idea where this letter had come from. She only knew that this was not affecting Katie in the way the sender probably intended it to. She moved closer to Katie and wrapped her arms around her, holding her just like she did when she was little, until Katie stopped crying. She knew this was a long time coming.
After Katie couldn’t cry anymore, she wiped her face and hugged her mom. “I love you mom. I’m sorry I was so mean to you. I shouldn’t have yelled at you, I just thought…” Katie could not finish what she was saying. She honestly wasn’t sure what she thought these days. Things were just so confusing to her right now.
“It’s okay sweetheart. This is why your dad and I are so adamant about you getting out of the house and doing things with other people. Why we keep trying to get you to talk to us,” her mom said.
“I know mom, but whoever did this was not very smart about it. If I find out who it was, they are not going to like me when I am done with them. This isn’t something anyone should do, even if they are trying to show me they are there for me,” Katie said still extremely frustrated.
“But maybe you don’t know why they did it,” her mom replied. “Maybe whoever did it was trying to help you feel better about everything and let you know that you have people who care about you.”
“Well that isn’t the way to do it. And how am I supposed to feel better about everything?” Katie asked just getting
