I run upstairs and jump on my bed. "Why would you do that?" I turn to Romeo. He has a mad and sad look in his eyes. I didn't take many pills, so I'm coming back down from my high. I look down. "I'm scared." I say in a whisper, like there was someone else in the room to hear us." I don't know what's going to happen to me. What happens if I can't stay with Carson? What if I have to move? I can't make any new friends. Not real friends like you and the guys. Then what happens if I stay? Everyone at school is gonna know. Who wants to be friends with the girl who tried killing herself? I don't know what I'm gonna do." I look down at floor. I let my hair fall in my face. I've never noticed it before, but I have a really ugly carpet. I feel like I'm gonna cry... but no tears come out. I must be all dried up. Good thing. I told myself that I wouldn't cry In front of him anymore. "I wanna be your friend, Ben wants to be your friend, Ken wants to be your friend... Jack... still loves you. You don't need to worry about any of that. The summer just started and there will be plenty of time for people to forget it, and if you have to move... You will move in with me. You're not leaving."
