Twenty-Three.

"Kim, would you stop taking pictures of yourself? Your sister is going to jail."

"What the actual fućk is this?"

Reluctantly taking my eyes off the screen, I look up and see Louis and Niall giving me looks of disapproval.

"Er, the Kardashians?" I sheepishly answer, awaiting their judgment.

"Seriously?" Niall complains, "After all the great shows and movies we've suggested you to, this is what ya watch?"

Since I'm technically here on vacation, I have nothing to do. Everyone has recommended a few TV shows to help me kill time in the green room while they work. I saw Keeping Up with the Kardashians on Hulu, and couldn't help but to select it. The family is just so fascinating.

Louis points at the TV, "This is so outdated! This was ten years ago! All those girls have purchased new faces since then for fuck's sake! You can barely recognize them here."

I wave him off, "Well, give me a few days. I'll get caught up."

"Your brain is going to turn to mush if ya watch that for much longer," Niall warns. "Have you checked out Dr. Who?"

"Not yet," I take a bit of my Twizzler while tuning out their nagging.

Niall's phone starts blaring, and he excuses himself.

Louis and I give each other a look. It's Zoey. Niall's 'not girlfriend.' I would know, considering that I have sent her flowers on his behalf before... and a few other things.

"Tomorrow night is movie night," Louis declares as he sits next to me on the couch. "You are going to see something with actual quality, and substance."

"This may have no substance, but it's still quality entertainment."

"Whatever. Hey, have you and Niall had a proper talk about whether or not you're coming back for good?"

Nice subject change.

"Er, no. He and I are meeting with Max in the morning."

"Oh, Max? That's good. Hopefully, this can get resolved."

"I've heard it all, Louis. I know what happened, and I know the reasoning behind it. I've forgiven everyone. We're all cool now. There is honestly nothing much left to say after that," I ball up my fists, "Still, I just think back to that day, and I get pissed off all over again."

"Pissed off? Wren, our precious angelic Wren is pissed off? Didn't think you were capable." Louis cackles.

"Stop," I warn. "But yes, I kind of am."

"So tell him that. You have the right to be a total bítch to him if you want. He deserves it, you know."

"He knows how I feel."

"What about our dear friend Harold?"

"What about him?"

He's made himself scarce the past couple of days, only appearing when needed and immediately leaving afterward.

"Yeah, bad question. I forgot that he's been a hermit since his princess left. Anne will kick his ass into gear, though."

"I'm assuming this isn't his normal behavior?"

"No. The damn man has lost his mind."

Not wanting to press any further, I hum in response. We sit in silence and watch more Kardashian drama unfold.
