Did
Fergussen
give
you
green
pills
?
Extra
ones
?
”
Jolene
looked
at
her
hard
.
Then
her
face
softened
.
“
No
,
honey
.
I
wish
he
would
.
But
they
got
the
whole
state
after
’
em
for
what
they
been
doing
with
those
pills
.
”
“
They
’
re
still
there
.
In
the
big
jar
.
”
“
That
a
fact
?
”
Jolene
said
.
“
I
ain
’
t
noticed
.
”
She
kept
looking
at
Beth
.
“
I
noticed
you
been
edgy
lately
.
You
having
withdraw
symptoms
?
”
Beth
had
used
her
last
pill
the
night
before
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
,
”
she
said
.
“
You
look
around
,
”
Jolene
said
.
“
They
’
ll
be
some
nervous
orphans
around
here
the
next
few
days
.
”
She
finished
drying
her
hair
and
stretched
.
With
the
light
coming
from
behind
her
and
with
her
frizzy
hair
and
her
big
,
wide
eyes
,
Jolene
was
beautiful
.
Beth
felt
ugly
,
sitting
there
on
the
bench
beside
her
.
Pale
and
little
and
ugly
.
And
she
was
scared
to
go
to
bed
tonight
without
pills
.
She
had
been
sleeping
only
two
or
three
hours
a
night
for
the
past
two
nights
.
Her
eyes
felt
gritty
and
the
back
of
her
neck
,
even
right
after
showering
,
was
sweaty
.
She
kept
thinking
about
that
big
glass
jar
behind
Fergussen
,
filled
with
green
pills
a
third
of
the
way
up
—
enough
to
fill
her
toothbrush
holder
a
hundred
times
.

Going
to
the
high
school
was
her
first
ride
in
a
car
since
she
came
to
Methuen
.
That
was
fourteen
months
ago
.
Nearly
fifteen
.
Mother
had
died
in
a
car
,
a
black
one
like
this
,
with
a
sharp
piece
of
the
steering
wheel
in
her
eye
.
The
woman
with
the
clipboard
had
told
her
,
while
Beth
stared
at
the
mole
on
the
woman
’
s
cheek
and
said
nothing
.
Had
felt
nothing
,
either
.
Mother
had
passed
on
,
the
woman
said
.
The
funeral
would
be
in
three
days
.
The
coffin
would
be
closed
.
Beth
knew
what
a
coffin
was
;
Dracula
slept
in
one
.
Daddy
had
passed
on
the
year
before
,
because
of
a
“
carefree
life
,
”
as
Mother
put
it
.
Beth
sat
in
the
back
of
the
car
with
a
big
,
embarrassed
girl
named
Shirley
.
Shirley
was
in
the
chess
club
.
Mr
.
Ganz
drove
.
There
was
a
knot
as
tight
as
wire
in
Beth
’
s
stomach
.
She
kept
her
knees
pressed
together
and
looked
straight
ahead
at
the
back
of
Mr
.
Ganz
’
s
neck
in
its
striped
collar
and
at
the
cars
and
buses
ahead
of
their
car
,
moving
back
and
forth
outside
the
windshield
.
