it took Amie about a half hour to get out to my scenic nowhere property, and when she did, did she freak. I heard her come in and my mom greeted her. I heard her coming up the stairs. "She's going to kill me." she knocked on my door and I walk over and unlock it she walks in

"Holy hell!" she exclaimed "Your hair!" She stands there for awhile just staring then she touches it "It's... Why?"

"I... kind of..."

"Why would you ever do this to your hair?!"

"I.. was angry!"

"What?" she said quietly

"I was angry and scared and needed something to take my anger out on and my hair was just... there." She sat on my bed

"what could have been so bad that you'd do ... that to yourself?" I took a deep breath and told her the story. when I was finished she said:

"Jessie I'm so sorry I wish I'd been there."

"What could you have done?" I asked grimly "I'm just glad you're crazier then I am 'cause you'd never believe me if you wern't." Amie held my hand and said:

"So what's the plan?"

"Plan for what?"

"To kill the things. You are going to kill them aren't you?"

"What? No... And neither are you so don't even think about it." I squeezed her hand "I can't lose you to." she looked at me and smiled

"You're not going to."

"swear you won't do anything stupid."

"Jessie."

"Do it." I said, Amie sighed and put her right hand over heart

"I hereby swear I will not do anything stupid... there you happy." I smiled

"Yes..." then I say softer squeezing her hand again. "Thank you."
