Chapter 23 - Breakdown

Lia takes a seat next to Emery and she can feel her best friend's eyes on her.

And it's one that's caring, one that wants to make sure that her friend is okay so Lia turns to her and passes her a smile. It's not genuine and Emery can see through it but she still appreciates it.

Emery also senses that it's probably the best to not talk about this thing. Not now, not ever unless Lia initiates it. Then Emery will be all years. She'll listen and comfort her if that would be something Lia will look forward to.

Lia just stares at James as he continues to teach even though she can not understand a word because the migraine, it hasn't gone down. If anything, it's only shooting up as ever and Lia wants to cry.

She can't just help but wait until this lecture is done with because there's no way she's going to be attending the upcoming one.
