Chapter Eighteen

Kyle

I’m going to die in here. I know I am. I’ll die without ever seeing Ali again, but that’ll be okay as long as they let her go. I’m going to keep saying I did it did it did it as long as it takes because nothing matters anymore without Ali. As long as I know she’s all right and they let her go I’ll let anything happen to me that needs to happen. Maybe I’ll even write a note saying again exactly how I did it and then kill myself. They’d have to let her go then, wouldn’t they?

Ali is all the goodness in the world and no matter what she did to her folks, nothing’s going to change my mind. For her, I’ll keep saying I did it until the day I die and if I’m lucky that’ll happen soon. Maybe one of the bangers in here will do it for me.

If I could only see Ali one more time. Just one. I’d die happy.

Life is a lonely place. I’ve always known it, even before I came here, but I didn’t know it like I know it now. There’s all this noise, all this pain, all this hate and fear, and so many people walking around all the time shouting mean things at everyone, just shouting and shouting and shouting. I didn’t think anybody could be lonely in a loud place like this but it’s true. The louder it gets the lonelier I feel.

I miss Ali.

I miss Mom Fi and Daddy Glen.

I miss Aunt Edith.

I wonder if Aunt Edith feels as lonely as I do? But if I let her visit it’ll upset her and she’s so old and sick she could die if she gets upset and then they’ll take Pit Bull away and put him to sleep and I can’t let that happen.

I can’t let anyone else die because of me.
