Chapter 4

I slid down the bench with my hands on my face. Seriously." My name's Matthew and this.......( pulling me up) is my little sister Emily " , Matthew said patting my head. " I' m gonna kill you." , I whispered to him. " She' s a little shy; she' s not use to so many people. We had to drag her out of the house this morning; right " , i said embarrassed. I looked over at mom and dad with the others. Worst day of my life." Well I'm Elisabeth, this is my husband charles and my younger daughter Kate, and i believe some of you already know me..." Mom continued . what a way to introduce yourself . i really need to get out of here. I sat down in my seat not believing i was in a church. Matthew looked at me confused. What has my life turned into. I' m gonna turn an old woman before i actually get old. And to live in that house, oh that house; i knew my life wasn' t gonna be the same . They sat down after a couple of minutes. " You seem lost Em ", Matthew said looking at me." I' m right here" , I said looking at him. " You sure, looks like you' re gonna pass out soon or something ", Matthew said. " I do?, do you have any water or something i could drink?", I whispered to matthew. " Yea, here" , he said handing me a bottle of water. I took it and i basically fell asleep after that. There was no way i was gonna get up.

Emily' s p.o.v

I felt someone shaking me." I am so disappointed in you young lady" , mom said pointing at me. I rubbed my eyes and got up . where was Matthew?." You just don't have any respect for God , do you?", mom asked walking out of the church. No way i was gonna go out there looking like this. I was left in the church alone. What a day to call a day. Shelly came in the church with her husband." Hey", Shelly said looking at me and sitting down beside me.Her husband went up to the altar ." Let' s take a walk " , she said getting up and offering me a hand. I took her hand and she pulled me up.  We walked outside together . "This is so embarrassing shelly" , i said walking beside her. " The Lord said come as you are", shelly said smiling and greeting some people on the way. " He sure didn' t say, come looking like crap", i said brushing off my pants." Have you ever prayed before Em?", shelly asked stopping me. " Ah .....no", I replied. " I'll tell you what, you and I are gonna come to prayer meeting tonight" , shelly said. " No, shelly i' m tired", I said. " No one' s tired for God sweetheart", shelly said smiling. It was then that i realized i didn' t have my phone. I' m never too tired for my phone. Matthew?, that bastard. I looked around for Matthew. I spotted him with some girls and the same guy i was staring at. " I' ll be right back Shel, " i said walking over to where matthew was.
