*Two days later*
I shift uncomfortably in my seat, spearing the marshmallows in my cereal. My ass has been hurting for two days now. I'm starting to worry.
I haven't talked to Jade at all lately...not after I freaked out at him for what he ended up having to say to me.
I go poke Livi in the shoulder.
Tearing her attention away from the tv, she looks at me questioningly.
"Hey, can you come here a second, I need to talk to you. "
She gets up hesitantly, still watching her show intently. I wait patently till commercial break, then drag her off to my room.
"Okay, okay. What is it?" Livi has always been my best friend, and she can tell when something is up.
"I think we need to...use the board again. "
She looks at me with fear...
"We can't...Brandy isn't here...and..and..she said that..not to do it without her..and..." She rambles on.
"We have to Livi, Jade...something happened the day I yelled at him. I need to figure out why. "
"What happened?"
I hesitate.
" I think he may have somehow...shattered my tailbone. It been hurting like hell for days..."
She goes pale, " Oh my god. I..I knew we shouldn't have ever done this...now..." She looks up at me. She has panic written all over her face. "Now he's pissed at you. "
"I know. " I sigh. "That's why we have to figure out how to fix everything. "
" Ok, fine. "
I go and retrieve everything from its hiding places. With shaky hands I place everything and shut off the lights.
"You ready?"
Livi nods slowly, and I start us off.
"Is Ac there? "
Livi asks this. I'm fine with it though. I need to think of what to say to Jade...
I feel the glass hover to yes.
"Hi Ac. " Livi says happily. She adores him, we all do.
H-I
"Where are you in the room?"
The glass moves right off the board to a spot near her.
She giggles. I love talking to Ac. He's always got this..lightness about him when we talk to him. She really likes him.
He's only nine years old. So is she.
I actually found out that Jade is fourteen. I'm eleven.
Brandy's fifteen.
"Ac...how did you die?"
S-I-C-K
"Oh...I'm so sorry. When did you die?"
1-8-0- B-C
"Wow...that was a long time ago..."
Y-E-P
That's what I love about him. As hard as it is for him to move the glass, he still has strength for small things like 'yep' and 'hi'.
He slowly goes to goodbye, and Livi says bye quickly, before he's gone.
"Is...does anyone else want to talk to us?"
'Yes'
"What is your name?"
