I'm So Sorry

"Joy's been here for five years and for Derek it's been four," Noelle confided quietly. "We've seen people come and go but things have been relatively stable since Mateo got here aside from who used to have your bed. She moved in with her boyfriend." 

No wonder these guys all seemed so comfortable with each other. They had been together for a long time. 

Gwen was the outsider but she was determined to find a way to become part of the group. She wanted real relationships with people. Not the superficial ones she had left behind. 

These guys were a little weird but they seemed nice enough. And who knew? Maybe they would actually like her for who she was aside from her identity as a supermodel. She was a misfit now too. In that way, she fit right in here. 

"How long do you think you'll be with us, Gwen?" Becca asked curiously. 

"Not a clue. Probably a good while though."
