It had made sense to go home and hide in her room for awhile. She'd tried to take a nap, given the lack of sleep from the night before, but her mind was too full to relax and she'd only ended up tossing and turning in her bed before getting up. Tyler had wanted to take her to the carnival with he and Jason and some others but the desire to pretend to have some fun was simply not there. Not with what Thom and Isaac had told her. It didn't feel right to be out, letting other people cheer her up when she couldn't even do it for other people. She'd begun to call Isaac, but had decided against it and hung up the minute the phone had begun to ring. Instead, she'd gotten dressed, left her phone at home and left the house well after sunset, leaving a note for her dad in case he got home early from the hospital. She walked to the lake shore, unaware that she was reverting to a younger age when she would get tired of hearing her parents scream at each other and flee the house toward the shore to block everything else out.
