[ She nods, keeping her eyes shut, gripping Jeff's hand like a lifeline. She can still feel them around her, like a shadow on a sunny day. ]
Yeah, fucking run away. Nicky comes close enough to whisper in her ear. That's what you did to Robbie. It's what you did to us. It's what you always do. How long until you do it to him too?
Michael doesn't bother to be quiet. Your aunt, all the rest of them, they won't always be good enough for you, huh?
You don't know shit about Robbie. [ Athena shivers, trying to focus on that. Nicky didn't know anything about Robbie. Neither did Michael. Just Bev and Taylor and they would never say anything, would they? ]
Of course I'd spill, Bev says. After you dumped me, why wouldn't I?
She cups her hands around her mouth and fake-whispers at Jeff: She's a little whore, use them and leave them. She never told you that I found her again after her aunt bailed her out. She never said--
Fucking shut up! Shut up! [ Athena pulls away from Jeff and tries to deck the apparition, which of course does diddly squat. ]
