Summary
Her mom opens the car door and she wakes up all the way, very suddenly. They’re not at her childhood home: they’re in a parking lot somewhere downtown. “Looks like you broke parole,” says her mom, and Murphy looks up. This isn’t. She didn’t — she couldn’t — She could. She did. She gets out of the car. She feels numb, all the way through. Get over yourself, Murphy. She can feel tears pricking at the edges of her vision. Her mom gets back in the car. Her mom still has the window rolled down.“You killed your father,” she says. She rolls the window back up: “See you around, Janey.”Her fingers burn. Her mouth is a bruise. “Fuck you,” she screams, except maybe she whispers it, and her face is warm and she’s running: shoes/pavement/cars. --or: jane murphy joins bella blake's underground gang after she gets out of juvie--This is Extremely Abandoned, 'run this town' contains most of its plot now
