Dan POV
I've been helping Will decorating Kyle's home as well as I could (wheelchairs are awful, seriously) and now everything is finished. Guests are gradually walking in, and I'm slowly hiding myself more and more in the background. I haven't seen these people for months, I can't become attached to them again. However I'm still at this party it's to dangerous for me to live with them again. The room becomes fuller and fuller and eventually the room is crowded with people. Everybody is chatting and stuff, but we still hear it. Kyle's key being stuck into the door. Suddenly everyone is quiet, no sound to be heard. It reminds me of those first lonely days in the bush, I might go back to that style of living soon. Nerves are filling my body and I'm sneaking more and more to the background. I'll see Kyle today, that's sure. What I'm afraid of is his reaction. He must be mad at me, ferocious. I need to deal with it; it's my own fault, but I'm just nervous and want to escape from this situation as long as possible. Slowly the door opens. Woody is raising his hand. Three fingers. No, Kyle. Please go away. Two fingers. Why did I think this was a good idea? Nobody wants me here. One finger. How can I escape? "SURPRISE!" Too late. Kyle walks in, and I can't get myself to walk away from him again. He looks so broken, so sad. And it's all my fault.

Midnight writing. It's probably awful because I'm tired and my mind thinks in Dutch and not in English, but I need to get somewhere with this story😏😏😏😏😏
