#Chapter311

A new beginning

I sat in my room, staring out of the window. It was summer, and I spent most of it in my bedroom. After Daniel’s funeral, I couldn’t force myself to leave. Talking to Michael helped, but it wasn’t enough. I felt so lost.

Tonight Lex planned to surprise Piper with a promise ring. The occasion should have been joyous, but it wasn’t. I didn’t want to leave, let alone celebrate. Uncle Noah and Dad couldn’t persuade me to go. I wanted to stay at home.

/"Leave me alone, Dad! I’m not going!/" I said, but the knocking continued. Finally, I answered my door. /"Michael?/"

/"I heard someone wanted to be a hermit./" He leaned against my door frame. I looked at him. He entered my room. /"It’s a pleasant room for a girl’s room./"

/"What are you doing here?/" I furrowed my eyebrows.

/"I could ask you the same thing./"
