It was 7 that night. As usual I was downtown. The other girls were waiting in front of a tall building in a line. I was with them. Cassie's warning to us was "don't get killed". Always, before we left for the night. She['d] said it jokingly, but with me it really hit home even though I was far from home.
A car pulled up [to the curb] which signaled it was keisha's turn to go. She came to me. We kissed.
"Bye honey," she told me.
"Bye," I returned.
She went [over] to the car and leaned in. cassie and Rebecca, or ginger as she was known, had [already] left. That left only me.
