The Day of.
When I hear that she’s dead, I run.
I hear it from the girls in the locker room. It threads
through their conversation so carelessly, did you hear a girl
from Leesboro died weaving through talk of which girl gave a
blow job to Jack Morris behind the bleachers and who’s going
to Matt’s party this weekend.
The thread of it snags in my gut, because Leesboro was
Maggie’s school.
It’s not her, I tell myself. It can’t be her or someone would
have told me; her brother would have called me; someone—
But she didn’t answer her phone this morning.
And last night she didn’t text me good night, and I brushed
it off because she’s tired from training, we’re seniors and
we’re all so goddamn tired—
But I have to know.
“Which girl?”
I hear myself asking it and I hear how hoarse my voice is
and I know I’m giving myself away but I have to know—
“Which girl?”
I push my way through everyone until I find Haley
Russell, because she’s always the first to know any gossip.
“Jesus, Corinne, calm down,” she says, staring at me. “I
mean yeah, it’s sad, but—”
Julia Recinos, our captain, steps between Haley and me
because she knows how we are. “It was their captain,” she
says.
Maggie.
Oh, God, it was Maggie. The girl I—
But Julia doesn’t know that. None of them can know that;
none of them can know we were dating.
“Corinne, are you okay?” Julia asks, but I can barely hear
her because all I can think is Maggie, my Maggie, is dead, and
none of these girls will ever know what she meant to me.
I should be hiding how I’m feeling but I can’t, so I push
through Julia and Haley and I fight my way out of the locker
room and I do what I always do—
I run.
