Westville, Illinois

The rhythm and fake fruit smell calm me somehow as rain crashes onto the windshield, and I don’t have to think. Cherry’s truck bumps down the road, and Amy says next to me, “No, you missed it, turn around.” Cherry U’s it, and we turn into the parking lot and pull up to the redbrick building, Westville Women’s Health Center.

Cherry turns off the engine. “Are you sure this is what you want to do?”

I’m not sure at all. Part of me even hoped the weather would cause us to have a big enormous wreck and I’d be injured and it’d all happen on its own, so it wouldn’t be my fault. But of course, since that didn’t happen, there’s no other way out. I just tell myself, I’m Liz in a Degrassi episode. This is TV, not my life. “Sure as I’ll ever be.”
