❝All the glamour and the trauma
and the fucking melodrama❞
❦
When I step into my room, making sure I lock the door, I remember that I told Harper I'm going out for a cigarette and then I never came back.
"Shoot," I mutter to myself, taking my phone out of my pocket and see I already have five missed calls from her and dozens of texts. I immediately call her back.
"Kadie! Where are you?" she asks hurriedly, picking up on the second ring.
"I'm at home. Sorry I disappeared on you, I didn't want to make you worried, but I'm all good."
"You make me want to kill you sometimes, I swear. How did you get home? Did you walk? In the dark?" She never lets me walk around alone in the dark. I mean, she has a point, but I have a knife and good self-defence skills so I'm not that worried for myself.
"No, Harp. Don't worry, I'm fine. Heading to bed now," I lie.
"It's a little early for you," she comments.
"I know. I'm tired," I say. And that's not a lie.
"Okay, I won't keep you up, then. Goodnight," she wishes me.
"Goodnight," I tell her, feeling bad for lying to her. But it's for a good cause, I tell myself. If she knew where I was going, she'd be more worried and she shouldn't be. The less she knows, the better.
