Chapter 26
I did not tell my mom about my fight with Max. When Clara was packing up to go to him I told her that he was a bit busy and wondered if she was okay with just hanging with me for a while.

I felt a soft breeze on my face, accompanied by a rattling sound every few seconds. Soft snores were coming from right beside me, accompanied by the occasional incoherent talking noises.

It felt like I hadn’t left my apartment in years. Things had been bearable before when I could just watch Netflix or read a book in utter silence, but now that my mom and I were fighting and the whole world was trying to contact me, hiding away became impossible.I promised Kiara that I would explain things to her the next time we meet up, so that would at least give me some time to think things through.
