Waking Madison Page #4

a bus ticket in my bag

that said it was

from New Orleans to New York.

It must be really scary

to not be able to remember.

I can deal with it.

Why do you think you have to deal

with everything all by yourself?

Do you think I'm crazy?

I think you should

check yourself in to the hospital.

This is the first time in 13 years...

that I haven't taken medication.

I don't know...

I don't know

what's really happening. Uh...

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I know that...

I know that you can hear me.

I'm in my apartment right now...

And, uh... and...

I don't...

I don't really remember...

much of, like, where I've...

where I've been

and what I've been doing,

and, uh...

It's kind of a scary feeling.

The first time I tried to kill myself,

I was, uh, 13,

and my mom had

these crowns of thorns.

Um, and she had this particular one

that was really special to her.

And... and so I put that one

on my head.

And I cut my wrists and my ankles,

and I laid down on the floor

so that I was beautiful and peaceful,

just like Jesus.

And, um... and I thought

when she found me,

she'd be really happy,

because she loves Him so much.

Um, and then she...

she came into the room

and she saw me lying there.

And, um...

And she was really mad.

And... and that's when I knew

that she'd never...

never love me

as much as she loves Jesus.

The first time

I tried to commit suicide,

I was 16.

I got pregnant

and had to have an abortion.

I didn't have any money,

and I couldn't tell my parents,

so I had to have it done by this guy

who said he could do it real cheap.

But he messed up,

and now I can't have kids.

So, uh, here, Elizabeth.

Here's a little thought for you.

Every time you walk into the room...

I want to take your f***ing face

and smash it against the ground.

Margaret, what are you doing?

- What are you doing? That is...

- Ahh!

This is not funny.

F***er!

Why don't you let me do it?!

I have no... no concept of...

of time or what time is.

I don't understand it.

I mean, is it even real?

Because I don't remember...

I don't remember so many things.

What's your magical power

going to be?

I don't want one.

But you have to.

Come on, just pick one.

I want to be invisible.

But if you're invisible,

then I can't see you.

And if I can't see you,

we can't be friends.

We're friends?

Madison!

Madison, where are you?!

I have to go.

You don't have to go.

We can hide here.

She won't find us.

Madison Ann Walker,

I'm going to count to three!

Madison?

Huh?

Where were you just now?

Madison.

What?

Come sit down.

Why can't you look at me?

I don't know.

Well, if you ever feel uncomfortable,

you tell me, and we'll fix it.
