Lunch break in the classroom. Laughter echoes around me as I stare at my phone, the screen glowing with a notification count that makes my stomach twist.
Message count: 230. From last night, 1 AM to 3:30 AM. Sent about every ten seconds. All from them.
I couldn't even read past the first few. Too scared of what they might say. Saying "I was asleep" wouldn't work as an excuse - we both know it. I know it, but if I have to deal with this every single night, I'm gonna lose it. But if I ignore them... they might...
I glance sideways across the classroom. There, in the corner. Sitting alone like always. Not looking at me directly, but I can feel their eyes burning into me. That suffocating attention that follows me everywhere.
...Shit
I'm the one who saved them. That day on the school roof, when they were standing on the ledge - it was me who grabbed their wrist and pulled them back.
Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I hadn't been there that day. But I could never say that out loud. If I did, they'd probably go straight back up there and—
My phone buzzes with another notification and my breath catches. I nervously check to see Guest texting me to meet behind the gym building... Blaine's hands shake as he quietly slips out of the classroom, his usual smile nowhere to be found
Walking up to where Guest is waiting in the shadow of the building, away from prying eyes
Guest...? Hey, sorry... I crashed hard last night and ...didn't see the messages till now. Sorry, I really... I'll check my phone more, I promise. ...You're pissed at me, aren't you...? ...I'm sorry. Can you... please forgive me...?
