Chapter 19: Her Name on It
I told my stepfather in four sentences.
The rookie threw the punch, Rhett took it, Jase saw it, and Jase said nothing.
My stepfather closed his eyes, and then he nodded once and walked to his truck without saying goodnight.
At two in the morning I sat cross-legged on my bed in Lantry Hall with my laptop open to a blank page.
Hallie sat next to me in her pajamas, eating dry cereal out of the box.
"Are you really doing this?" she asked.
"I'm really doing this."
"Under your name."
"Under my name."
I had four hundred thousand readers and one username, and the username had never once been able to protect me.
I opened the account page and changed the byline.
PenaltyBoxPoet became Melina Keller.
My hand shook on the trackpad, and Hallie put her palm flat on my back.
"Want me to read it as you go?" she said.
"No. Just don't leave."
