Then I step into our shower and pound my forehead into the wall until the bees die.

What I don’t write is: I’m so lonely in the world I want to peel all of my flesh off and walk, just bone and gristle, straight into the river, to be swallowed, just like my father.

remember the stars that night. They were like salt against the sky, like someone spilled the shaker against very dark cloth.

As I stare at him, I find myself wishing that I could see through his skin, see inside him. See if there’s only emptiness, darkness, or if there’s more.

A breeze cuts across my face, which is still damp with tears, and as I stare at him, standing there, his hand on the back of his neck, the wind making his loose T-shirt flap, his face frozen in a pained expression, I know he’s thinking about Maddie. I know he’s thinking about diving headfirst into the Ohio River. I know he’s thinking about dying.

Sometimes it feels like the wind has hands, has fingers. Sometimes I wonder if I could reach out and grab it. If it would grab me back, squeeze the space between my fingers, take me away. I wonder if Roman ever thinks about these things, if anyone else ever thinks about these things.

I try to imagine what it will feel like when I hit the water. The Ohio River moves so slowly, there’s no churning or sputtering, only a lazy flow. Maybe the water will hug me tight, squeezing all the air from my lungs. Maybe it will feel like I’m being rocked to sleep, maybe I’ll get pulled under and everything will turn black and it will be like dreaming. Maybe.

Aysel Seran, 16 years old, is hanging from the ceiling at a height of 7.5 feet. She weighs 115 pounds. How much potential energy does she have? What happens to all that energy when she dies? What does it get turned into?

I close my eyes and see it. Me, at the bottom of the bathtub with my hair flowing out in all directions. For once in my life, I’m beautiful.

I have no choice. For me, the middle ground doesn’t exist. I starve or I stuff myself. I’m blacked-out drunk or pissed-off sober. I worship Josh and I hate myself. I blame Eden and I need her. If I can’t live, then I’ll die.

If Girl A departs sanity around the time her mother abandons her, assuming she is traveling at full speed toward self-destruction, how long will it take her to reach her dead brother?

I don’t need contact; don’t need food. I do not need.

One thing I’ve learned so far: Shrinks do a lot of repeating. Buying a parrot would be cheaper.

And then, “So . . . sometimes I lock myself in my bathroom and stick my toothbrush down my throat. Is that totally weird? Be honest.”
