Chapter 10: The text My phone made a noise, and I picked it up. There was a text from Jace that said "If you find yourself thinking about your dad often and it's troubling you, I recommend going to a therapist or someone that will help you relieve some of your stress." since I have dyslexia, it was hard for me to understand what the text message said, but thankfully Mom got me a device to help me. I put the little scanner on my phone, and it read the words out loud to me. 'A therapist?' I thought. 'Everyone's gonna think that I'm stupid and that I'm a freak. Not like they don't already think that though.' I cried into my pillow. 'Audie might not like me,' I thought. 'Sure, she has Down syndrome, but she doesn't need a THERAPIST.' I thought all of these thoughts, and even though it was only 3:27, I fell asleep.
