FORTY-FIVE
Rory
I feel like I have no right being hurt. Mascen and I made no promises to each other. We weren’t a couple, not even really friends. It’s dumb to feel like I’m owed something, a resolution of sorts, and yet I do.
My anger at him grows day by day, ready to explode and boil over. I know Kenna and Li can see it, probably worried when I do reach that point I’ll take it out on them, but they have nothing to worry about. There’s only one person I plan on unleashing this upon and it’s the man who deserves it.
All my life I’ve been treated like an object. A plaything. Something to pass around. Even as a small child, before things got really bad, our parents would dress Hazel and me up like little dolls to show off.
But I’m a person and I deserve more than that.
Knocking on Kenna’s door she calls out for me to come in. “Hey,” I greet, crossing my arms over my chest. “I have a favor to ask you and Li.”
Li perks up from the couch. “I’m listening.”
“The baseball team has an away game this weekend. I need to be there.”
Kenna cocks her head to the side. “Are you confronting Mascen or…?” She trails off to let me fill in the blanks.
“Honestly, I have no idea, but I just need to do something. Going to his game seems like a good place to start.”
“Well, I’m always in for a good old-fashioned road trip. Li?” She leans off her bed to peer around me to the other girl in the living area.
“Absolutely.”
