Jack and I are sitting on the bean bags up at the sky window, playing hand games. Sarah is sitting in front of the bean bags looking out the sky window, laughing at us when we mess up.
We take a break.
Still laughing our heads off.
Bonnie looks at me with a smirk.
"So what happened last night with you and Chris?" She winks at me.
I notice that Jack looks the other way.
I stick my tongue out at her and giggle.
"Well If you must know little miss nosy, we mostly just danced and talked" I cant help but smile a little.
"And when you weren't just talking…" Bonnie says trying to get more information.
"Yup it's Bonnie, same old annoying, nagging Bonnie" Jack says.
Bonnie gives him a look.
I look away blushing.
"We may have kissed a little..." I finally answer her question under my breath.
Bonnie's mouth drops as she bounces up and down.
"OMG OMG!" She's practically screaming.
I jump up and close her mouth.
"Shhhh, I don't want everyone to know!" I giggle.
She smiles with her eyes opened so wide I'm worried they'll fall out.
"I better go tell Tina!"
"Hey" I say in a fake angry voice.
"You can't tell her" Jack yells, just before Bonnie can run out the door.
He looks really sad. He's still staring out the window.
"Well, Why not?" Sarah asks sounding very disappointed.
She places her hands on her hips.
"Her parents came to get her and she wanted to leave, she didn't even care about us" Jack answers looking at the floor. I swear I can almost see a tear in his eye.
"So she just left us here to die?!" Bonnie yells back. "Fine. what ever. I hope she dies!"
Bonnie runs out of the room with tears strolling down her face.
"Bonnie" I know she doesn't mean it.
I turn back to Jack.
"Are you ok?"
"Ya I'm fine, we just… we just broke up" I hug jack. I feel him trying not to cry.
"She obviously didn't like you as much as you loved her. She never deserved you anyway." I can see the sadness in his eyes." You can cry you know?"
"Since when was I the one crying and you the one hugging?" He says with a little giggle.
Jamie and Chris come into the room laughing.
"Hey, what you guys talking about" Jamie says walking towards us.
"Nothing" I reply, Smiling at Jack so he knows its ok. "What are you two laughing about?"
"Oh, Chris was telling me this awesome joke" Jamie answers smiling at Chris
"Go on, tell them the joke Chris" Chris smiles at me.
"Why did Bonnie fall off the swing? Cause she has no arms, Nock, Nock"
"Who's there?" Jamie continues his own joke jumping up and down.
"Not Bonnie!" Jamie starts laughing like a hyena.
I smile and shake my head at Chris.
Jack giggles over to Jamie.
They both fall to the ground laughing their heads off.
Bonnie walks into the room with Max.
Max is laughing too.
"That is an awful joke!" Bonnie says smiling trying not to laugh.
"You just don't like it cause they use your name" I say laughing.
We all start laughing and smiling.
"Ya well, when you told me you said the name was Emily not Bonnie" She says still laughing.
"I changed the name so you wouldn't give me that face"
"What face, I don't know what you're talking about." We all fall to the ground laughing.
"Abby, Abby!" Meme came running in to the room with tears streaming down her face.
She runs over to me.
I stand up on my knees.
"Ok, ok, Calm down. What happened Meme?"
"The guards, their kicking grandma Nitty out to the old shed across the street." Meme sobbed.
Every one gasps.
"Who's Grandma Nitty Again?" I say in the politest way I could.
"Abby, Do you remember that old women who sold us our dresses on your birthday?" Bonnie answered, sitting up on her knees with a discouraged look on her face.
"Oh my god, why are they bothering her" I say as I jump up and run to the stairs.
I hear her screaming and crying for the men to get their hands off her. Everyone is crying; just standing there watching.
"Hey let go of her!" I yell at the guards and pull her, pushing her back into the crowd.
All the young children and Meme run to her.
"Why are you trying to take her away? What could she have possibly done to deserve this?" I ask the guard that was pulling her away.
"Someone needs to go out to that shed across the street or we are forced to execute someone" The guard answers, I can hear the sadness in his voice and eyes as I tear struggles to fall from his eyes.
"Why, why in the world would you do this?" Bonnie yells from Max's arms, crying.
"It's because of me" Mrs Docsuns says coming out of the crowd curdling a new born baby in her arms. "By me giving berth, I add a new person, exceeding the limit of people aloud here, I'm so sorry" She falls to the ground crying.
"Wait there's someone else who we can sacrifice" One of the guards runs in with sadness on his face.
He tells us to follow him to the sick room.
He shows us a little boy lying in bed.
The boy is as pale as the sheets on his bed.
"This is Gale, Gale is dying of cancer and is due to pass in a week but he heard about Mrs Nitty and he would like to volunteer to leave" the guard explains looking at the floor.
I walk over to gale.
"Are you sure about this gale?"
"Yes I'm sure, all the nurse needs to do is turn off my breathing tube, Nurse if you don't mind" Gale calls over the nurse.
Without a word, she sets him free.
"We should give him an honorary burial" Bonnie says angrily, whipping away her tears.
She breaks her way through the crowd, Max fallows.
The guard, who brought us to Gale, walks away.
I fallow the guard.
He runs to a window out of sight of the others.
"Are you ok sir?" I ask as I put one hand on his shoulder.
The guard is crying.
"He's my son" The guard sniffles.
"Why did you do it sir?"
"Because, I was tired of seeing him in pain, I couldn't stand it anymore and it's what he wanted" He said looking at me with tears strolling down his face.
"I'm so sorry, sir" I say, trying to hold my tears.
I walk around the down stairs window thinking.
Trying to convince myself not to cry.
Practically arguing in my head.
Chris comes and walks along next to me, but I don't want to talk or be near anyone.
"Abby, what are you doing?" he asks laughing.
"Go away, I'm not in the mood to laugh and talk to anyone"
"Come on you look like you need it"
"I don't want it"
"Come on!"
"No"
"Abby"
"God damn it Chris I freaking said no!"
I turn and walk the opposite direction I was going before.
I start to breathe heavily, I start to feel like I'm about to cry.
Jack walks over and hugs me.
I start to punch his chest and yell.
"Jack let go of me, Let go of me... L-let g-g-go" I can't stop crying.
He just pulls me closer and hugs me tighter.
I burst into tears.
He carries me up stairs.
He holds me tight while I cry.
