Dad was standing there with his belt in hand. “Amy, come here. Do you understand that what you did was bad and that you should never run away?” I shook my head and started to cry. I was scared. “Turn around and lean against the wall.” He held his thick black belt and hit me twice on the butt. “Now, go inside and eat your breakfast.” As I walked back through the garage door, I took the books out of my pants and put them on top of the low freezer in the spare room. As the garage door closed, I heard my dad say, “Kerry, don’t ever do this again, and don’t take your little sister with you. Now take one of those books out of your pants.” I walked into the kitchen with tears running down my cheeks. My mother was standing at the sink with her apron tied around her waist. “Amy, there’s Cheerios and a half banana for breakfast. When you’re done, clear your place. You’ll be spending the rest of this sunny day in your room while your brothers and sisters enjoy themselves at The Aqua Center. What do you have to say for yourself?” “I’m sorry I ran away. I won’t do it again.” What I was really sorry about, though, were those pastries in the pink box sitting in the woods. What would happen to them? Diverse Voices Quarterly, Vol. 1, Issue 1 & 2 24
