I went back to Josie's grave that night.
"Hey Jo." I said. "Me and Jacob made up. Gail's in the hospital. Jacob is suspended for one week. And... I like someone. His name is Erik. He has the cutest hair and baby blue eyes and ABS! He's perfect, but he'll never like me back. Jacob's gonna help me with all this once he gets back. Oh, here.." I put the tulip I plucked from the vase on our kitchen table on the grave. "God bless you."

Dad was home for dinner. He usually never is. Hell, with all his work stuff I barely see him daily.
"So, how's school?" he asked as we munched on chicken tender.
"So-so." I said. "Gail's still a bitch."
"Amalie!" Mom said. "Don't say that."
"But she is! She made fun of Josie dying."
"That is pretty... bitchy." Dad commented. Mom shot him a glare.
"I met this new kid, Erik. Oh, and Jacob got suspended."
"I heard." Mom said. "His mother told me. He has never done anything like that."
"I know! And it was all Gail's fault. The Josie stuff."
"You should tell the principal." Mom said, shaking her head.
"No way! Mom, it's not that bad." I lied.
"Alright." Mom sighed. "Who wants salad?"
