The next week he told all his pals and before I knew it word was all over school. I was ashamed and humiliated. I beat the shit out of him for doing w...at he did. And then I started taking out my anger at boys on all boys. That's a big part of why I was mean to you for so long." Why didn't you want to tell me you'd had sex before?" I asked."Fear." She sighed miserably. "Afraid that you'd think less of me, that you wouldn't love me anymore. That's why I never told Mom about it. I was afraid that. That song is so perfect for us.
