It is just the three of us in the living room now. My eyes drift over to Finn and Owen. Even though my friend is only a few feet away from me, it feels more like miles.
I stay quiet and keep my mouth shut as Finn’s warm laughter fills the room.
Every fiber of my body wants to run over and sit beside him while I tell him about everything that happened today.
How I almost had an impenetrable wall of people around me all day long which gave me some peace, but not like what Finn provides to me. Or how Dee chased off some idiot who thought I looked like an easy target to pick on in the cafeteria.
The corners of my mouth curl upwards as the scene replays in my head.
