It's now Saturday night. I'm alone in my house, Mom's at work. My head rests against my pillow. I look up at the ceiling.
I stand up to walk downstairs to get a drink of water. My footsteps fall in place with the ground, while I flip on a light switch.
Walking over to the counter, Ao grab a glass and proceed to fill it with water.
A few knocks sound front the fort door. Startled, I make my way to the door and twist the knob open with my left hand.
"Justin," I rub my eyes, "what are you doing here this late?"
His face shows sadness, and he looks towards the ground, not responding.
"W-What's wrong?" I stammer out.
"Jessica broke up with me. For real this time, though." He gives me a sad look, while I gesture him inside.
"Why?"
Sitting down on the club next to Justin, I set my water down on the table.
"I'm not even sure. I'm really...ugh." Sigh.
Same. Honestly.
I ruffle my hand through my fading hair and frown.
"It'll be fine." I assure.
"I dunno, Alex. She's the only one that would care for me when my mom's boyfriend was over and he would...you know." He dragged on.
God, I feel bad. I would do something but it would make matters worse.
"Do you want to stay here?" My voice offers, "my mom will be okay with it. I know you need somewhere to st-" I stop, "Okay?"
"Okay. Thank you." He says.
Justin lies back into the couch, examining the ceiling closely. I guess I'm not the only one that does that.
