The Poor Child, the Poor Child

At 12, despite a difficult tonselectime and her parents divorce, she was left alone for hours in her bedroom to dream of bono and eighth grade boys. A suicide at 12 would know nothing of the endless trifles she had enjoyed at that age. The question that had quickly formed and then been filed away during her conversation with andy now came back to her, fully articulated. Yes, she would accept public andal. She would happily invite ruin in exchange for that boy's life and her once dear friend's release from hell. What pact was this? What power did she have? Who did she think she was talking to? God she didn't know.
