“am…I lied.” Iconleu. ‘1 told them that was going to a friend’s house.”

“A friend’s house?” he questions. Which friend?”

I’m surprised that he even wants to know this small detail. Why should it matter which friend!

He’s standing doser to me now as he waits for me to

“Abigail…” I want to t#1 him mare; I want to say to him that she’s the only friend that I have now and that the two people closest to me betrayed me. But I don’t need to say these things everyone in school already knows, and even he asked me if i still loved Bryan. He already knows, i know this;

test: The burning sensation would have stopped on its own

even without my interference, it would have taken a long

time, but it still would have stopped.

So then why did I rush to help her?

Every time I close my eyes, I hear her screams; I’ve

listened to cries before, but none has ever managed to flip

my insides as hers did.

“Fuck” i slam the knife down onto the wooden table

and mumble some more as I get up.
