"Do you ever wish something would just happen?" She asked.

Her question caught me off guard. "What do you mean?" We were laying on the grass behind the library, stargazing. Violet had her long black hair pulled out behind her, trailing it across the grass. It was just like her to break the silence with a weird question.

She rolled onto her side to look at me. "Like anything. A meteor comes crashing into your neighbor's house, you find a hundred bucks on the ground, you meet a new friend." She made a sweeping gesture in the air. "Anything."

"Oh, uh, I guess." I stared up at the sky, trying not to picture flaming rocks falling towards us. "Is that what you want?"

"Yeah. I'd take bad stuff right now over nothing." She pulled at the grass beside her.

"What bad stuff?" 

"I dunno, like tripping down the stairs. Anything would be better than this."

"It could be worse, Violet. You could be dead." 

Her voice was quiet as she flipped onto her back. "Yeah, well at least that would be a change."

~~~

I cried as thought back to that summer. Staring up at the sky, the stars starting to come out, it was impossible not to think of her. "That's not the change I wanted." I said aloud. "I never wanted to lose you." But I was far too late to change her mind.
