《Flipped》3.11
We watched them work for a little while, the chain saws gunning at full throttle, smoking as they chewed through wood, The tree looked lopsided and naked, and after a few minutes I had to get out of there. It was like watching someone dismember a body, and for the first time in ages, I felt like crying. Crying. Over a stupid tree that I hated.
I went home and tried to shake it off, but I kept wondering, Should I have gone up the tree with her? Would it have done any good?
I thought about calling Juli to tell her I was sorry they'd cut it down, but I didn't. It would've been too, I don't know, weird.
She didn't show at the bus stop the next morning and didn't ride the bus home that afternoon, either.
Then that night, right before dinner, my grandfather summoned me into the front room.
