"What did you want to talk about?" I ask, pouring me another cup of milk as Dylan sat at the counter.

She watches me the whole time before looking away. "Why you skipped the rest of school?"

Oh.

My heart may have restarted itself, thankfully.

I thought she was wanting to talk about something else that I wouldn't talk about, so I would have to ask her to leave which I didn't want to do.

"I didn't feel good."

"You didn't feel good? Addison, you left after you ran out of the bathroom. You didn't go to the nurse, you ran right out into the parking lot and left."

Setting the milk back into the fridge, I look at her then grabbed my cup and sat at the counter with her. I placed the cup down then sighed as I rubbed my forehead. "Am I in trouble?"

She slightly laughs. "You can't just leave school." She looks at me for a moment. "But I didn't do anything about it. I didn't call your mom or anything."

Slightly smiling, I look down at my cup. "Thanks."

"Did you leave cause I accidentally touched your shoulder?" I look up to see her watching me. "I completely forgot, Addison. I'm sorry."

"It's ok." I shrug. "I just panic when someone touches me."

I watch as she nods then looks down at the counter, then she looks over her shoulder at the clock on the wall. "Well, if you want.. I can come back in an hour to check up on you."

Watching her, I really didn't want her to leave but I had a part of me telling me to make her leave. It was constant war behind my mind and heart, telling me this and that.

"You can stay."

She smiled then nodded as she looked away. I saw her take out her phone then look at me real quick. "Let me call Colton and tell him."

I nod as I she got up and left the kitchen. Leaning back on the stool, I sighed then took another sip of my milk before looking over at the bag of medicine.

Usually when I don't take my meds, I feel weird and uneasy. But I feel fine right now. I slept for three hours when I left from school, so that calmed me down a little.

Dylan walked back in then smiled at me. "Ok, so what do you want to do?"

"Eat." I chuckle.

She nods as I got up and went into the fridge to find some leftover wings and fries from last night. I grabbed the container then placed it in the microwave to heat up.

Grabbing the ranch from the cabinet, I placed it on the counter then caught Dylan watching me the whole time.

I turned back around as soon as the microwave went off then grabbed the container and placed it on the counter as well.

Sitting down, I opened the container before pouring ranch on the side then feeling my stomach growl. I dipped a wing in the ranch then popped it in my mouth before looking up at Dylan and catching her eyes.

"Did you eat lunch?"

I grabbed a napkin then nodded. "Yeah," I covered my mouth then swallowed. "but I threw the salad.. away and didn't really eat a lot."

She looks over at the bag of medicines then back at me. "Aren't you supposed to take something when you eat?"

"After."

She nods then looks down at her phone, messing with it as I was eating. I caught her looking up at me every once in a while before looking back down at her phone.
