I was often told that God loved me. I wanted to believe that
so much.

I'd been lied to by adults so many times in

Sunday night, Gay came into my room. She 18 down and kissed my cheek. "Love you,
sweetie," she said. For the first time ever, I kissed her back. "Love
you too," I said. That word-love-sounded so 19, yet felt so true. I was discovering
that love is what makes a(n) 20.
