I stared at her in shock, then anger. “Come on, Salali. Don’t be dramatic.” “Dramatic?”She laughed. “I’m not dramatic, Jace, you are! How you complain about your voice being gone in the real world and how depressed you were when you killed yourself? Pathetic!” I kept a blank expression, even though that stinged like hell. “You know what’s pathetic? You are. That you think you have to insult me instead of a simple breakup. But that’s something only normal people can pay off, not little kids that live on the streets.” Salali stepped forward. “Watch. Your. Mouth.” “I had parents, a couple of siblings, a nice house to live in. You were so jealous that you decided to date me. Isn’t that right?”I didn’t let her respond. “Well, nothing is perfect. You’re right, I was depressed because my voice was gone. Because of what my parents did to me down there. But, I held on. Most of the time. “You’re just some kid who stole something and got shot in the process. Nothing more. You’re hurting because I was loved. You were an orphan. So call me pathetic! But I think that’s pathetic all by itself.”
