Chapter three: Shay's Fortunes

Shay got her fortunes out as well.

"You can never blame your friends, you can only blame yourself," she read. "One of your friends has been through a lot, don't make them feel worse than they already are."

The fortunes were right. Shay just realized it. She couldn't really blame Tally for all that happened, she could only blame herself.

It was true, losing Zane was very bad for Tally. She had lost her true love. Then again, Shay had also lost her true love.

Shay really couldn't make her feel worse about Zane, because she knew what it felt like. Now that her special mind had been cured, she remembered how it felt. How painful it was for her to lose David.

She realized she didn't want Tally to have to experience that, cured or not.
