I found out the truth. I finally found out, and now that I did, I haven't got a clue what to do with it. I spent all night thinking about everything I learnt yesterday. Lesson one: my mother is a liar. Lesson two: Will doesn't trust me. Lesson three: his father is dead.

"Another one?"

I lift my sight from above the empty beer bottle stood in front of me. "Sure." I smile sincerely.

Mason walks away towards the bar.

Regardless of what happened last evening, I decided to go out like I had planned. I decided not to bail because A) I didn't want to be asked any questions about why I didn't go, B) I needed to forget everything, like, literally everything, starting from Nathan, the last reason for my outgoing being Will, and C) I've wasted enough time during the school year, trapped on my own in the dorm, trying to better myself by shauning the world.

No more isolating.

No more dragging me down.

No more pausing my life just so someone else's can carry on playing. It's not my fault the record is broken, so why should I be the one to fix it?

"Got you something different this time. Figured you'd like to shake things up a little bit." A glass of Martini appears before me. Mason takes a seat across. A velvet, deep-buttoned, yellow booth seating composes really nicely with his white T-shirt as he leans his back against it.
