Kindle Notes & Highlights
After I’ve scratched enough to give me some relief, I wipe the blunt blade of the butter knife on my jeans. A white line of dead skin forms a thin line across my dull blue jeans. I should grab another knife, but I know I don’t have another clean one. With a shrug, I dip the knife into the peanut butter and spread it across the stale bread in my hand.
For a moment I wish my mom was still around, I wish I hadn’t done what I’d done. She would still be here and I would be able to laugh in her face when Jessie is here with me and we are in love. She would have to eat every word she ever said to me. I smile; happy with the fact that instead she's choking on dirt.
