Shattered Happiness
Chapter Six


I got home at 12:15, well, considering I went to mcdonalds to get a cheeseburger!

I couldnt stop thinking about Steven, I wonder how he is coping. It must be awful for him to be stuck in a wheelchair day in, day out. I wonder how he is doing with arrangements for sleeping, eating, drinking, washing, clothing etc.

While I was in mcdonalds, I saw some of the public look at me. They probaly saw me with Steven when the accident occured. A women came up to me while I was feasting on my cheeseburger.

" Hello love, how is the lad, well urr " She said then stuttering
" He's doing really well " I replied smiling
" Well, it's been all over the newspapers that you caused the accident " She stuttered with worry
" EXSCUSE ME! " I screamed with outrage. I didnt even look at the newspapers this week. I wouldnt even want to
" Calm down love, that's why people are having thoughts right now, just keep your head up high " She smiled. How could that make everything better? People think I was attempting a murder. What a horrible thing to be accused of.

While I walked back from Mcdonalds, passer-by's just stared at me. Some were pointing. Some were giving dirty looks, some whispering to the public. Why was I accused. Who witnessed the event. WHO!

I stumbled into my house with distraught looks spread across each section of my face and lazed onto the sofa. The Daily Newspaper was on the opposite couch. I made it to the front page..

" November 21, A terrible accident occured. Steven Dorlain was run over by a speeding car on the Stratford Main-Stream road. Some members of the public witnessed the event and think otherwise of the situation. 5 out of the 8 who witnessed commited that Amy Strotway pushed Steven onto the road. "

I stumbled back onto the couch and soaked one of the cotton pillows. How could people think that way about me? How could they. What did I do to them?

Maybe I could get something out of Steven. He would tell them the truth. Wouldnt he?

Omg. I'd hate to be accused like that, Moree|,
