Love and the Sea and Everything in Between

chapter twenty-six

Everything is different.

The days are darker, even though it's nearly Spring. Maybe it's just me.

I don't feel anything anymore.

The pain has turned to numbness. The hurt has become scars on my chest and arms.

I barely leave my dorm room anymore. And when I do, I wear a hoodie with my hood up over my face.

I never see Liz anymore. I gave up texting her a long time ago. I grew tired of reading her last text over and over, every day.

I just need some time, Adam. Please. Just give me some time.

I guess a-month-and-a-half isn't time enough.

Time is a cruel joke.
