"Wanna shower? Go somewhere?" Zoe asks.
"We could cruise around in my new car," Jessa says.
"You got a new car?" I ask.
"What'd you get?"
"Well, it's used, but new to me.
It's a Mazda Protege."
Wow.
Guess things are happening
out there
in the big, blue world.
"Come on," Cali says.
"Let's split this joint."
"Nah.
I'm not really up for anything today."
Jessa stands up.
"Ava, this isn't healthy.
It's beautiful out. Come on.
You're not the dead one, you know."
"Jessa!" Zoe yells.
"Oh, God," Cali says.
"Nice, Jessa."
"Sorry," Jessa says.
"I'm so sorry.
Forgive me?"
"You guys just don't have a clue what I'm going through," I say
as I pick at a loose thread on my robe.
"So tell us," Jessa says.
"We're here. Help us understand."
I stand up.
"I have stuff to do," I tell them,
which is a total lie
and they know it.
"Thanks for stopping by."
I walk to the door, open it, and wait.
"Bye, Ava."
"Bye, Hon."
"I'm sorry, A."
"Yeah," I tell them, in almost a whisper.
"It's okay.
See ya later."
I go to the front window
and watch their beautiful, tan bodies
get into Jessa's cute car.
They wave
and then the car
zips out of the driveway
and down the street
in a flash of silver.
The room gets cold.
Jackson is there.
"How come you can't go out Jackson?
Do you want me here with you all the time?
I feel like you do.
Will you get mad at me if I go with my friends?
I mean, I have a life, Jackson.
Or, I should anyway.
Do you get that?"
No answer.
"Why can't ghosts TALK?" I scream.
