A sudden visit

Sierra spent the whole morning cooking something worthy to be called a present. She wanted to go to Elijah's house and pay a visit to Margaret. After everything that happened, she didn't have a chance to see her and the girl was sick.

For a moment, her thoughts strayed and she considered whether she would really continue her high school; she had two years to go but she didn't have enough energy to keep going in that toxic environment. Then she thought of another thing: her future. She didn't intend to marry anyone and she didn't have enough courage to take her life so she had to get a job to survive; she had to have money to keep going. She wasn't confident she would keep her father's house in case he died. Then she felt horrible because she thought so.
