O W E N

She doesn't talk anymore. Not to me, not to anyone else.

It has been days since I snapped at her and everyday I regret it.

I wasn't in my right mind. My sister almost died and my parents still didn't show up.

When I arrive to class, I see her sitting in the usual seat. I take mine next to her but she doesn't pay attention.

She doesn't talk as usual.

It's when I'm focusing on the words on the board that I hear taps.

Her hand tapping the side of the table.

But what breaks me is that they're not six anymore.

They're four.

She's tapping my number.

I fucked up and left her and now she's tapping my number.

When class gets over, I follow her to her locker.

"May," I speak out as she turns to meet my eyes. Her own light up a bit but she doesn't say anything.

"I didn't mean to say that to you that day.." I say and she just nods her head, smiling.

"Talk to me?" I ask, frowning and her eyes widen slightly before she shakes her head in no.

She leaves before I can do anything else and I realize.

She's doing it on purpose.

But for how long?
