John B's house is different in every way from my house on The Cut. This house actually feels lived in, like a family has come together here either in the past or present. My house reminds me of a display home, something decorated for show only.
But, it gets boring here when we're not running around looking for clues. John B and Kiara went to surf but I declined their invitation, not wanting to be a a third wheel to my brother. So, out of boredom, I pull my phone out of my pocket and turn it on, using the little battery I have left.
The first thing I notice is a text from my Mum, the sight making my heart swell just from three simple words.
Please. come home.
I can't tell if she's inviting me in secret or if she talked to Linus and convinced him. Either way, I'm more than happy to be in the same house with her again. I feel wrong being in this house and not being able to know how my Mum's doing with that monster in the home with her. I always feel like her protector
Just as I ready myself to reply, a text from Rafe appears as a notification at the top of my screen.
I did it because of you. Those pogues have it coming
