Luke. His wallet. On the floor. A joke. I go for it. Rick gets it. I'm playing. A joke. I try to get it. Try. Joke. I'm playing. Kidding. Joke. But he says it. It hurts. He says, "Get off me you fucking pillhead!" He says it loud. People hear. I stop. Sit.
Dont cry.
I won't. Why would I cry? I'm not going to cry. Rick says that a lot. Calls me a pillhead, I mean. But its different this time. I don't pop pills anymore. Or not as many as I used to. Why is it so different this time?
Tears. Pooling in my eyes. Fast.
Don't even.
I can't stop it though.
You can.
Not.
Can.
Yes. I can stop. I do. Tears go away.
"I'm leaving now," I tell Anna.
Leave.
