Iris: Bye sweetheart, have fun. Lock the door when you leave out.
Me: ok love you mom.
Before I was about to leave, I took out the trash to the garbage bin in the backyard and left the door unlocked when I came back in. I closed the curtain so it wasn’t visible that it was unlocked. This way, instead of using loud keys, I could just open my backdoor. Then I left.
It was 10:15 and I was about halfway to George’s house. As I said, George lived about 10 minutes away, so it wasn’t that long.
Me: Hey guys whats up. Ready to watch the special.
George: Yeah, I put some popcorn in the microwave. We eatin good tonight.
For about 30 minutes, I settled down, ate some popcorn with the boys, watched the special and chatted a bunch. While it was indeed a lot of fun. I still needed to be focused, I can’t be distracted. I needed to interact just enough so that my nerves would calm down. After a while (11:00) I called my mom, not to see how she was doing, but to check the status of her body. Was she out yet? No… that would be too early.
Iris: hey everything alright [said in a very weak tone]
Me: hey I just wanted to check in and say good night. Did I wake you?
Iris: Yeah but it’s alright, I’m gonna head to bed alright. Love you.
Me: love you too.
That was it. Come 12:00am, It would be safe to break in and committee the deed. The plan was going alright so far. But that’s not the end of it.
Chapter 18 – The Eden Plan Part 2 –
George’s parents were ironically at his grandparents house so they didn’t pose a problem. At 11:50, the guys were surprisingly all tired and ready to be. They had youtube on in the background and just chilled until falling asleep. Apparently the others had arrived a lot earlier than I did. But this was a blessing. As I pretended to fall asleep on the soft quilt embedded in George’s bean bag, I quietly got up, got my bag and walked out the room. It was 12:00pm, it should be safe to go back, I thought to myself. Closing the front door, I realized that it would be unlocked until I returned. If George found out, he would probably get upset, but his feelings were not important right now. I had to proceed
Eventually, I approached the block of my house. In evading my emotions and humanity, I managed to stay somewhat calm, and fear was not a huge issue. That is until I heard… A LOUD FUCKING THUNDER CLOUD following a light drizzle of rain. “No, this will not stop me,” I said to myself. Now thinking about it after the fact, the thunder and rain was very light at that point but still, scary to have my plan almost be ruined by bad weather. Nevertheless, I reached my backyard gate and hopped over the fence so as to not make any noise. When I walked up my deck stairs I peaked through one of the openings in the curtain and saw the lights were off. I then called my mother to see if she was awake, no answer. Ok it was time. I’m going to go in with the excuse of getting some more things. I open the door… and walk in.
Upon entering my house, I heard nothing. Silence… with a side of darkness. I closed the door behind me, took off my shoes, and went towards the stairs, staying as quiet as possible. I then realized something. I had to walk past my mothers room. “Stay calm”. I went to the top of the stairs and peaked in her room. The tv was on but quiet. I moved up closer and saw she was laying faced towards the right side, and I could see her face through the doorway. I got up and quickly walked passed. I went in my closet, grabbed the gray box, and took out the anesthesia, and condoms. I walked up to the door, then my sleeping mother. She was on her side, but turning her to her back side wouldn’t be a problem as she was pretty thin and light. Besides, she moves in her sleep anyway, a change in position wouldn’t hurt that much. I’m right by her side, all the materials in my sweater pocket pouch. I moved her over and took the blanket off her. She was there in her lavender, pretty, nightgown. I was so close.
