Edward’s response comes in the form of a video message. Crystal set it up on the television on the wall, while Miles and I huddle closer to the screen. Miles holds tightly onto my hand. “Whatever happens. Whatever he says. We will stand against him and we will win,” he says. I believe him. Last

To distract myself from my terrible home situation, I continue to throw myself entirely into my work. I push myself to the limits, even eating at my desk to work through my lunch. I don’t take any breaks during the day, except the occasional five minutes to run to the bathroom.Eventually, my work s
He hangs up before I can reply. He always seems to have to get the last word in.For me, he said. Like I wouldn’t be careful for myself.Although, as much as I hate to admit it, that does seem to motivate me a little more to be careful. Maybe I will buy a mini-fridge for my room, to keep Garnar or T
It takes several long moments for me to recover enough to actually understand fully what Thea is saying.
