WHEN WE GOT HOME I went straight up to my room and put my music on loud. Rachel was on the phone to Grillie. I didn’t want to hear their conversation. Now that I knew Grillie and Frances were definitely in contact, it made me feel on edge when Grillie called. I just wanted to get away. To be on my own.

I kicked off my shoes and I opened the window wide. And as I maneuvered my way from the bedroom and up onto the roof I let go of the bathroom window ledge with one of my hands.

It was just for a few seconds. But I let go.

It was an accident.

My hand just slipped.

But for those few long seconds, as I hung with my one hand gripped tight to the ledge and my other reaching to join it, I felt free.

No guilt. No pain.

Only the space around me, and it was white and clean and bright.

Blank …

Just for a moment …

I was blank …
