It seems like it was only just a nightmare. Everyone was acting like nothing happened. Christine never said a word. She must've told my parents, and they probably told May, because I never heard anything from them, either. The band was silent, and even Ari had picked it up. He never made another comment like he did at our date again.

Between Jerah and me... I don't know, honestly. The first thought that comes to mind is 'we went back to how we were before', but what is before? We had known each other for just a few weeks. For a good part of it, I was in love, and before that, I was an asshole to him, and he was cold to me.

I feel bad that I've never had the chance to say goodbye to the children. I got attached to them, really. And it was clear they liked me as well. I feel especially bad because everybody that they love seems to leave them. That's a scar I deepened, instead of erased.
