Shattered
Part One: Byrne
Chapter Eight
Placing Blame
"So if Ed hadn't gone back to get those clones. . . " Deets began.
"I wouldn't have gotten shot."
"So it's all Ed's fault!" Deets said accusingly.
She was right. And I knew it.
"That's not fair." Fizz said. "How could Ed have known it would turn out like this?"
"Yeah." Loogie said.
"Fine then, be on his side." Deets said, pushing past us and out.
It's all Ed's fault. All Ed's fault. All Ed's fault.
The words echoed around in my head, over and over again. Deets could never know how much they hurt me.
I rolled over, so I was staring at the ceiling.
Fizz, Loogie, and Old School weren't blaming me.
Byrne and Deets were.
And so was I.
