Chapter Thirty-Nine

Amy didn't sleep all night. She kept tossing and turning, thinking about what Melanie had said and feeling the nagging sensation of guilt deep in the pit of her stomach. It was the worst feeling in the world. She felt like she had betrayed everyone she loved and worst of all was that she didn’t know how to make up for it. Cooking didn't seem to do the trick anymore. It simply wasn't enough.

I have to do something drastic. Something so big that it matches in size with my betrayal.

Amy sat up in bed and watched the sunrise from her window when the solution came to her. As the sun's first rays of the day hit her face, the idea was completed in her mind, and she knew exactly what to do.

But you must tell no one. No one can know.

She texted Robyn first thing, then jumped in the shower while waiting for her to answer. As she came out, a towel wrapped around her hair, the phone vibrated, and she looked at it, then smiled.

Amy got dressed, then told her mom she was going out. She met Robyn outside in her driveway. She was waiting by her truck. As always, she looked striking. Robyn was very beautiful. Not in the same way as her parents, but in her own quirky way with unruly red hair and sparkling green eyes. Robyn smiled when she saw her, and they got into Amy's truck.

Amy backed out of the driveway and into the street. "Thanks for going with me," she said.

"Oh, I was glad you texted me," Robyn said. "I wanted to go visit Jazmine today anyway. We might as well go together."

Amy bobbed her head while her eyes rested on the road in front of her. She hadn't told anyone her plans, and she wasn't going to. This was not for them; this was for her own sake. To bring balance into things.

Amy parked the truck in front of the hospital, and they got out. Amy felt how she grew increasingly more nervous for every floor they passed in the elevator, and as it dinged to let them know they had arrived, she let out a small gasp.

"Are you all right?" Robyn asked as they walked out and into the corridor.

Amy swallowed, then nodded. "I'm fine."

"You don't seem fine."

"Just a little worried about Jazmine, that's all. I mean they're turning her off later today."

They pushed the door to Jazmine's room open and walked inside. Jazmine lay there still while the machines kept her alive. Amy grabbed her hand in hers and squeezed it tight, then caressed her face. Amy fought to hold back her tears when thinking about her. Maybe the tears were just as much for herself as they were for Jazmine.

Amy felt the blade of the knife in her pocket while the tears escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

Robyn put her arm around her. "Are you okay, Amy?"

Amy continued crying and was soon sobbing loudly.

"Oh, Amy," Robyn said and hugged her.
