"I don't want you near that boy."
"but mom-"
"no buts, amber. that boy was already messed up in the head before his mother died, and now he's dangerous. I don't want you being seen around him."
"he's my only friend!"
she rolled her eyes. "oh don't give me that, you have plenty of friends! what about kaleb? he seems like a nice boy."
"god, mom. we haven't talked in years."
"well, you have plenty of other friends, and that's final."
the rope on my trapeze snapped.
my cage closed.
