《Flipped》3.10
But all of a sudden my stomach completely bailed on me. Juli loved that tree, Stupid as it was, she loved that tree, and cutting it down would be like cutting out her heart.
Everyone tried to talk her down. Even me. But she said she wasn't coming down, not ever, and then she tried to talk us up. " Bryce, please! Come up here with me, They won't cut it down if we're all up here!"
For a second I considered it. But then the bus arrived and I talked myself out of it, It wasn't my tree, and even though she acted like it was, it wasn't Juli's, either.
We boarded the bus and left her behind, but school was pretty much a waste. I couldn't seem to stop thinking about Juli. Was she still up in the tree? Were they going to arrest her?
When the bus dropped us off that afternoon, Juli was gone and so was half the tree, The top branches, the place my kite had been stuck, her favorite perch—they were all gone.
