She may not hear from the school today about my truancy, but I don’t plan to let things settle, not after what Celine and Spencer did at the museum. She needs to know. I need to make her see what is happening, and find out why she lied to Dad and me when she told us that no one other than family and Dr. Larson knows about my mental state. Oh, and about her mental health! Yeah, the big secret she kept from Dad and me! She trusted Mrs. O’Keefe so much that she told her, and now everybody knows. I hear Brody’s car engine rev as he pulls into the driveway. I rise just as he bursts through the front door. His eyes meet mine first, then search the room for Gavin. “Where is he?” “In his room.” Brody shuts the door behind him and walks further into the living room. I want to go to him, hug him even, but he stops and just stares at me. “He doesn’t even want to come close to you,” I hear that bastard bipolar voice say deep inside of me.
