An hour each way. In totally respectful voices, we said, "What did we do?" We weren't angry. We weren't yelling. We weren't screaming. But we were absolutely terrified.
We didn't tell anyone. We didn't talk to our teachers. We didn't tell our friends. We didn't tell the principal. We didn't walk into the police station, which was five blocks away. We didn't tell anybody.When I told my mom as an adult, she almost lost it. She was just so upset that we didn't tell anyone.As I've gotten older, that night has stuck in the back of my mind as I've gone through my life.
