Seeing the look in her eyes after I called her amazing drawings “silly scribbles” made me regret what I had said. I only wanted to see more of them. I could feel her rage as she brushed past me and slammed the front door. 

Damn it, I thought to myself, I really fucked things up. I knew better than to follow her, but I did anyway. As I got to her room, I heard the faint sound of her whispering and sobbing.

“I wish you guys were still here,” she whispered, not knowing I was there. I frowned, wondering who she was speaking of. She could be talking about her grandparents, her parents, or her friends.

Realms I wish I could take it back. I never meant to cause her this much pain.
