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.
