I shake my head, my hands shaking as he holds one of his out to me. “You can’t do this.” I cry softly, tears slowly tickling down my cheeks.

He keeps his hand out, his black eyes filled with tears. Tears for me. “I can,” he...

Once you do this,

you can never go back.

You understand?

If so, wave both hands.

Too hard to rhyme

Maybe another time

Don’t be so kind

Oh just never mind.

This poem stinks.

Open eyes don’t blink.

It’s worth the kitchen sink.

I’m on the brink.

I’m all finished.

My poetry diminished.

I stopped and looked down. “I sleep with my wand under my pillow. Do you know why, Althea?” I looked back up at her.

She shook her head, not meeting my eyes.

“I sleep with it under my pillow because I am PARANOID that something will happen. I am so stressed out because of this whole stupid thing, that I can’t sleep if I don’t have my wand within reach.”

Adrienne nodded, even though she knew Geodon couldn’t see. “I know. But I have to do it, and you know that.”

“I know.” Geodon’s voice was regretful, and Adrienne shivered. She could barely believe that she was going to do what she was planning to do. The thought would have n...
