(Malory)
Olivia and I hop into a taxi and head off to Ron’s house. She’s got directions to the house from him, and she’s pulled out the gift to show me.
I love the red bow against the gold paper.
A depressing thought hits me.
It’s Ron’s birthday.
Kyle will be there.
Ever since the… incident… I’ve been distancing myself, thinking about what I should do.
Why am I holding back?
I should have already told someone.
Every time I sit to think about it, I feel like I’m about to have a panic attack so I stop and do something else.
What would it cost Kyle if he told me everything? I would know more than I already know –and what I already know is more than enough to make a person go insane.
Olivia is ranting about something –but I can’t focus. I can’t focus on what she’s saying. I’m dreading seeing Kyle at Ron’s house –I’m dreading seeing Kyle at all.
