That night, Libby, wearing a baggy T-shirt, paced her bedroom, unable to sleep. She didn’t want to be at school, and now she didn’t want to be here, either. When she came home, Aunt Marge gave her the silent treatment, which was fine. A bag of meth sat on the kitchen counter like a huge elephant in the room. Libby supposed now that Aunt Marge’s business dealings were out in the open, she didn’t feel the need to hide anything anymore.

The evening inched by, a slow torture into night. More than anything, Libby wanted Peter. She didn’t care what Garrett said. In her eyes, Peter would always be perfect. She would love him for the rest of her life.

She broke down and tried to call him, in desperate hope that Garrett was wrong, but her phone had no connection. Garrett had cut the phone service and, as a result, cut Libby out of Peter’s life. It was truly over. This flashy phone was no more than an empty shell.

Her stomach growled with hunger, but she didn’t dare go downstairs in search of food. She didn’t trust herself around Aunt Marge. What she really wanted to do was light the barn on fire and watch her aunt flip out as she lost the only thing she cared about go up in smoke. Libby plopped back down on the bed, miserable, wishing she could sleep.

It was after 11:00 p.m., and her body wouldn’t give in. Some freakish adrenaline from losing Peter consumed her body. She stared at the shadows the moonlight cast across her room. She tried to block out all the painful memories. Her mom covered in shattered glass. Her sister hooked up to machines that couldn’t save her. Her big, strong father crumbling before her eyes. His car driving away. The memories morphed into equally painful thoughts of Peter; him, singing to her at Parfrey’s Glen, the way he held her in his arms, and his eyes gazing deep into hers.

Suddenly, a crash sounded downstairs. She jerked up in bed and heard another crash, then loud voices yelling. She sat paralyzed on her bed, unsure what to do. Downstairs, her aunt’s shrieks filled the house.

Someone was breaking into the house.
