(Consider this more of a bonus half-chapter)
    I finally snapped at Arin today, after he had given me so much. He tried to get me to go to a doctor, which I did. Insomnia. The word hurt. Dan has insomnia, the doctor had told Arin. Not me. Then, he tried to get medication for me. I wish it worked, and that that could be the very end of it.
    He tried everything for me, pushing me into everything. Nothing ever worked. How had Arin kept his spirits up? I finally snapped, though, one day.
    "It's not worth it anymore, Arin!" I shouted, "Nothing ever works! ... You know this," this was the harshest tone I ever used with him.
    "I-" Arin wasn't mad, not even remotely. He was just defeated, "I'll leave you alone for a while."
    He left me alone, and I cried to myself. I'm sorry I yelled.
