Personal Choice Piece #1: Creative Writing Short Story

The Slippery Sock

By: Paige Barmakian

I knew from the start that this would kill me. I was in no way prepared for what I would have to deal with if he stayed with me forever. He was the best thing in my life for a while, and I will always love him. But he is not mine, and I don’t think he ever was. It was the biggest decision I’ve ever made, letting him go. And for an 18 year old, it was a shit ton to deal with.

---

I dressed for school this morning as I do for every morning as of late. I pull on my stretchiest leggings that are getting maddeningly stretchier everyday. I pick out my blue socks with the wrong day of the week on them (because who cares), and pull on my UGG boots over them. Then, I stick my head through the hole of another oversized t-shirt (it’s always an oversized t-shirt these days) and pile my white blonde hair at the top of my head. I don’t bother putting on makeup anymore. There’s no one to impress; no one at school even looks me in the eye.

When I go downstairs for breakfast, my dad is waiting for me with everything I need for the day. Ever since he and my mom found out about him, they have become extremely involved in my life: overbearing and suffocating. I guess they are just being protective, but I wish they would leave me alone. Especially now when he has been with me for so long already. I know what I am doing, and I am clearly not a child anymore.

I wish they would just act like they used to. Before him.

My dad hands me my lunch bag, and I leave for school. I am a senior in high school, which would be really cool if I could drive like the rest of my classmates. But, living right down the street from school means I have to walk like a pathetic freshmen every day of my life. As I’m walking, I feel my right sock slowly sliding off my foot with each step. Well, fuck. This is what my day is going to consist of: me constantly pulling up my sock. Perfect! That is just what I needed to worry about today. I don’t bother adjusting it, though. It will just start slipping off again.

Once I get to class, I take off my shoe and fix my sock. At least it will be comfortable while I’m sitting down. Well, as comfortable as I can be. No one looks at me anymore as I take my “special” seat by the door, allowing me easy access to leave whenever I need to and has a desk I can sit comfortably in. I have this set up in basically every class with the exception of gym. Then, I am allowed a free period because of my “situation” as the school calls it. I wish I had clothes in my gym locker, though. That way I could get a new pair of socks whose sole purpose isn’t to drive me crazy.

At lunch I meet up with Jamie. He has sandy blonde hair that he is constantly brushing out of his eyes and freckles that cover every inch of his body. He is my best friend, and no, I am not secretly in love with him. He is a total goofball and also a complete dick at the same time. But, I put up with him because he puts up with me and well, I’m a bit of a handful myself if I’m being quite honest (which I always painfully am). He is the only one that will sit with me anymore, anyway. He has that “I don’t give a fuck about what other people think” quality that connects us. All the girls are too embarrassed to be seen around me and the other boys are afraid of me. It pisses me off, but there really isn’t anything I can do about that.

“Hey, Fal!” I jump as he comes up behind me and then double over in shock.

“Shit. Are you okay? I didn’t mean to scare you” He takes my lunch from me and helps me over to a table.

“I’m fine it was actually nothing” I assure him, exasperated and rolling my eyes. I re-adjust that damn sock again.

“Are you sure?” he says, and then, without waiting for me to answer, “So, are we working on the project after that doctor thing you’ve got today? My shift ends at five.”

“Yeah. It should be over at like four thirty. Just come by my place when you’re done, and you better bring me The Fallon special.”

“Oh, of course. How could I forget that?” he says, sarcasm heavy with each word.

The Fallon special is a milkshake from the ice cream parlor he works at. The parlor has these amazing milkshakes with like 50 different flavors and candy topping options.  Everyone is obsessed with it in our town, and Jamie’s brother owns it. We named the one I always get the Fallon special as a joke because there is literally nothing special about it at all. It’s just a chocolate milkshake. No toppings or special flavors whatsoever. He makes fun of me all the time for liking it the best and that’s where the running joke came from. But, he always brings me one after work and it is one of the main reasons I keep him around. Along with the fact that he’s my only friend and as much as I hate to admit it, we are basically the same person.

---

It’s five now, and I am waiting for Jamie. I just ate an enormous dinner and I feel like I am about a thousand pounds. I sink into the couch in the living room and idly rub my stomach. I watch Netflix on my computer while I wait for him to show up. I hear the familiar sound of my side door creaking followed by the slam of it hitting the wall as it opens. Jamie comes into the living room with a grocery bag of supplies in one hand and a milkshake in the other.

“Thanks, J.” I take the milkshake and begin sucking at it without hesitation despite the massive dinner I had just consumed. A pain in my stomach interrupts me, though, and I have to put it down while I wait for it to pass. I guess that’s what I get for having eyes that are bigger than my stomach.

“So, I know I said I’d do most of the work for this one, but I gotta say I have absolutely no idea what I am doing here.” Jamie sits next to me and I close my laptop, shutting Netflix off and cutting off yet another one of Ross and Rachel’s fights mid sentence.

“That doesn’t surprise me,” I say, unconcerned “But it should also not surprise you that I have no idea what I’m doing, either”

We stare at each other for a second in silence and then both start laughing at the same time. Typical.

The laughing causes my stomach to hurt again and I clutch the pillow next to me for support before it passes. Jamie doesn’t notice.

“Just start googling shit and I’ll get us some water” I say and stand up off of the couch.

The second my feet touch the ground, though, something happens. My pants are suddenly soaked and I let out a noise of disgust.

“What’s wrong?” Jamie looks over at me, his face forming a look of surprise and realization almost simultaneously.

“We have to go.” He starts yelling for my parents and helping them pack. I can’t seem to move. I can’t even process what is happening. I just stand there as chaos ensues around me.

---

I am lying in the hospital bed. The last 24 hours being the most painful of my life, but I am finally done now. It’s over. I look to my left, and I can see him. My mom is in the room, and she is sitting on my bed beside me. I can see my dad outside talking to the Clarks. The couple looks overjoyed, but they’ve been asked to stay outside for the time being. The nurse walks in, and I ask to hold him one last time. She brings him over to me and I take him in my arms. They wrapped him up in a blue blanket, giving him a matching blue hat and tiny blue socks. I can tell he looks a lot like me, his hair so white you can barely tell he even has any. But he also has features I don’t recognize, and I know they must belong to him. My mom and the nurse leave us alone so I can say goodbye. When the door shuts behind them, I touch my forehead to his and give his nose a kiss.

It is an odd feeling that builds in my chest. The idea of him reminds me of that terrible night. The night I was taken advantage of. The night that repulses me to my very core. The night where I lost my self worth, and am only barely beginning to find it again. Even though I cannot even fully remember that night, the thought of it is more than I can bare. But, the little boy in my arms right now is not at fault. As he lays in front of me and opens his eyes, I again become soft.

“They will take care of you little bean. You were never mine; you were always theirs.”

For some reason no tears come. Probably because I feel empty. No pain, just numbness. We wait together for the nurse and my mom to come back, and a few minutes later they do. The nurse comes over and reaches for the baby, but I don’t let her take him.

“Do you mind if… if I give him to them?”

“Not at all,” she says with a look of sadness in her eyes. She and my mom help me into a wheelchair with the baby in my arms. They wheel me into the hallway and I see them waiting. I know this will be the best day of their lives, because I can’t think of a worse day in mine. When we reach them, they are very kind. They ask me how I am feeling and we make small talk for a couple of minutes. I know it is time to give him up, though. I take a deep, shaky breath, and one last look at his face. He smiles at me. My heart completely skips a beat. He’s going to be okay. I hand him to Mrs. Clark.

“Thank you so much,” she says, starting to cry for what seems to be the millionth time today by the redness in her eyes. “We can’t even begin to tell you how happy you’ve made us.”

“I know you will make great parents.” I try to smile, but I know it must look forced. My mother pushes my wheelchair as we leave the Clarks at the hospital’s entrance. I watch them take him away. Take him home. I am keeping my eyes locked on him as they strap him into the carseat, and I notice something. His sock has slipped halfway off of his foot. Suddenly, my body is slammed with pain as my emotions of him leaving hit me like a brick. The car door is closing, and my eyes are filling with tears. Everything is turning blurry, and when I blink the tears away and open my eyes again the door is closed and he is gone. I blink away more tears, silently rushing down my face, and see something where the car had just been. I step out of my wheelchair and walk over.

I bend over and pick it up:

his tiny blue sock.

Stitching The Vineyard…

    This is my wall of Vineyard counted cross stitch projects. The Vineyard map in the upper left hand corner was the first one in 1993. Tisbury in the bottom middle was the last one in 2011. There were other non-MV projects done in between the Vineyard ones and I also did eight more of the Vineyard maps during that time too.

These are not the only Vineyard counted cross stitches I’ve done though. The one closest to my heart is the Tabernacle designed especially for me by my daughter Deb. (please excuse the glare).

The Tabernacle is my favorite place on the Vineyard for many reasons and so this picture means more to me than I can ever put into words.

This is my counted cross stitch masterpiece. My daughter Deb took a photograph of the Tabernacle… blew it up to an 8×10 and charted it by hand on graph paper. There might have been computer programs for that but this was the early 1990’s and she didn’t have one and I’m not sure we even had a computer!. She also bought the material and my daughter Patty bought the threads and that was my Christmas gift that year. All I had to do was sew it. People always ask how long it takes to do projects so I kept track. Over the course of 3 months I sewed a total of 138 hours… every inch of the picture is counted cross stitches… even all the blue sky… and there seemed like endless amounts of that. After it was finished we took it, along with the original 5×7 photograph and had it framed. For a couple of years I just wasn’t happy with the frame though so when I had my other MV counted cross stitches framed I gave this picture a new one. I also added a little plaque at the bottom that says The Tabernacle, Oak Bluffs – Martha’s Vineyard.

But I had said I couldn’t do it… ever… I would never be able to do counted cross stitch. Too hard. Too boring. I had too many excuses. Then my daughter Deb saw the counted cross stitch of the map of Martha’s Vineyard and the rest is history. We figured if I was ever to do counted cross stitching surely something Vineyard related would get me started. She even said that if I hated doing it she’d finish the map for me. Sounded like a good deal and so I began. One X after another… counting, counting every single stitch… but then it started looking like MV and I was pretty impressed and proud of myself.

We even got written up in the Vineyard Gazette… June 21, 1996

Personal Choice Piece #2: Free Verse Poem

Trust Issues

By: Paige Barmakian

You kissed me And told me That I was beautiful.

And I believed you.

I couldn’t think straight, My mind was cloudy, And my whole body was electrified by the thought of you

At that moment I didn’t know That you also said that very same thing To a couple of other girls that same day

But it was okay. I would be okay.

So I found someone new. And he kissed me And told me that I was special

And I believed him.

My palms became sweaty at his words, My toes wiggled around in my sandals, And I felt a pull towards him, magnetic, in the pit of my stomach

At that moment I didn’t know That he went back to his room that night And fucked the girl next door, telling her That she was special.

But it was okay. I would be okay.

So I found someone new. And he kissed me And told me That he loved me

He held his hands in mine And pleaded with me Not wanting to let go

But this time I didn’t believe him

So I walked away Before I could get hurt Again

Even though This time He was telling The truth
