Dream Journal
I walked down the side aisle at church and spotted an empty seat by Tina near the center aisle. After much consideration I decided that I would try and mend things between us and started to move down the row toward her. I stopped a few feet from her when someone came from the center aisle and took the seat I had wanted. I stood still for a moment and Tina’s sister saw me.
I turned around, made my way back to the side aisle, and found a seat directly in front of Tina and her sister one row up. I was angry that she had let the seat I had wanted go to someone else. Her sister said, “Look who is sitting in front of us, Tina,” but Tina didn’t look.
I was so angry that I stood up, turned around, and punched Tina in the face three times. I ran out of the sanctuary and down the hallway to othe bathroom. My mom found me crying and convinced me to take a walk with her.
We walked down the sidewalk toward town and away from the church. I could not stop crying deep and heavy sobs, and now I was also afraid that I was going to be arrested for assault and battery. I could hear sirens coming from town, but my mom and I kept walking.
