I heard amelia shouting my name, her voice getting closer and closer, as I struggled with the bush just when it sounded like she was right on top of me, maybe even close enough to be peering out the window. My necklace to thank god for cheap mall jewelry, finally, like a bolt of lightning that I sprinted all the way home and didn't look back. I just survived.
