On another day, she told me about the Wounded Knee Massacre. „Pay attention, Skylar,” she said sternly. „A Plains boy knows his history.” And then she told me something horrible, how more than a century ago, hundreds and hundreds of Plains People were massacred by the whites for doing nothing more than dancing.
„We never forget,” Granny said. „Never forget your past.”

I looked at the cover of Rafael's book, tilting my head to read the title. To Kill a Mockingbird, it said. I grinned with recognition. My lit teacher had made us read it at the start of sophomore year.

Stop, I thought piteously, helplessly. Because there was a word for boys who liked to touch other boys. I'd heard Dad sling it about as though it were a curse word, mostly out of context, like when a team he hated was winning at baseball. I didn't want to be one of those boys. I didn't want to be the ugly word my dad tossed around like something evil, something foul. Stop, I told myself.

I was shaking when our lips parted and he leaned his forehead against mine, his fingers carding through my hair, my hands on his face.
„I won't let them,” Rafael said. „I won't let anyone take you away. I won't let anyone hurt you. I'll protect you. I'll always protect you. I don't care how. I just will.”

He always knew what I would have liked to say, and with startling and increasing accuracy as we spent more time together. One time, for example, I was wondering exactly how he had lost that tooth at the back of his mouth when he saw my eyes on his waning grin and replied, „Ran into a fence when I was twelve.” And then I wondered how the heck he could have missed the giant fence standing right in front of him and he said, „Shut up.”

He broke away from my mouth and trailed his lips down the front of my throat. I felt his lips close around my scars. He kissed away their ugliness. His lips parted in tingling butterfly kisses that drained the strength from my knees. I realized he was mouthing words against my skin.
Not words. Just one word.
Mine.

Nor had I realized until that moment how much of a group project it was to grow up. Each of us is just an imprint of the many people who have crossed paths with us over the years, some more times than others. Most of us never think to say thank you. I know I never had.

Death wasn't a waste of life. My mom was gone. I'd never have the chance to know her. But it was through her absence, aching and acute, that I had come to know Rafael instead.

How beautiful he looked. Unsullied by the world’s darker secrets; privy to its innocent ones. I could almost believe he was inhuman and had never known anything beyond the profound simplicity of nature, tameless and wild, and the animal hearts that beat within each and every one of us.

I felt his heartbeat, jumping and hard, underneath my hand, my fingers splayed against his chest. He felt so alive. I felt so alive. He entwined our fingers and held my hand hard enough to hurt; but it was a wonderful pain, a soothing pain, the kind of pain that reminds you how human you are, how desperately your heart wants, how good it feels to finally have.
