JACOB DIDN'T CALL. The first time I called, Billy answered and told me that Jacob was still in bed. I got nosy, checking to make sure that Billy had taken him to a doctor. Billy said he had, but, for some reason I couldn't nail down, I didn't really believe him. I called again, several times a day, for the next two days, but no one was ever there.
Time began to trip along much more quickly than before. School, work, and Jacob—though not necessarily in that order—created a neat and effortless pattern to follow. And Charlie got his wish: I wasn't miserable anymore. Of course, I couldn't fool myself completely. When I stopped to take stock of my life, which I tried not to do too often, I couldn't ignore the implications of my behavior.

I squeezed tighter. "Good. Do you think you can kick-start it?" "If I move my foot, I will fall over,”I told him through gritted teeth, my fingers tight around my live grenade. "Okay, I'll do it.

I started to fall sideways, but Jake caught the bike before it knocked me to the ground. "Steady there,”he encouraged. "Do you still have the clutch?" "Yes,”I gasped. "Plant your feet—I'm going to try again.”But he put his hand on the back of the seat, too, just to be safe.
