Thirteen, chapter 9

I can't stop crying. I run out the door and down the sidewalk. I trip and fall Billie has caught up to me by then. I look at him and say " They're not gone!" I repeat it over and over again through my tears.

"It's ok" Billie says hugging me.

"I always thought that wouldn't happen to them, you know?" I say balling.

" Umm ,this probably doesn' t help, but it was the other guys fault, he was drunk. I'm so sorry." he says still hugging me.

"They would never be in a car crash its not possible." I say in denial.

"I understand." he says obviously thinking of his father.

"It's not alright, I have nowhere to go!" I scream.

"You could live with us but that would mean you'd be like... my sister." he says smiling sweetly. We walk back to his house, the police are still there.

"Is it possible for her to live with us?" he asks them.

"Uhh No, she has an aunt coming to live with her. " the first p.man says.

"Ok good night , and she will be at your house in the morning." the 2nd p. man says.

"Thanks bye" Billie says.

I still can't believe it. I cry myself to sleep in Billie's arms.
