Alexandria sits up from her place on the couch when her dad sits, and then snuggles into his side like she’s a kid again.
“Your eyes been red for two days,” Dawson says, hugging her shoulder. Alexandria shrugs. Her eyes hurt from constant crying. They feel like concrete.
She’s been like this since she found out what happened to Jamie. The only thing Alexandria could think when Girlie told her was she had been feeling unsure about Jamie more than usual, but she never got the feeling he was going to hurt himself.
He tried to kill himself and every time she thinks of it her stomach drops and her eyes well up.
When she first ran crying to her dad, telling him what happened, that she should’ve known and gotten help instead of hoping Jamie would do it for himself, he held her and said you done everything you could.
It didn’t relieve her or make her sorrow any less. Today was terrible going through school because all Alexandria could think was she should’ve just told someone.
Now he’s in the hospital and she feels part of it is her fault.
