1/9

Craig wishes we’d spent more time together at Taryn’s party. He texted, I barely saw you last night. Can I come over? Wanna go for a ride?

I do. I can’t.

1/15

I’ve officially lost my senses, thank God. Without any sense whatsoever, it’s easy to get through the days now, which is odd because I’m bumping into walls, unaware of my surroundings. Blind to the obvious bumps in the road. Craig to Mike. Mike to Craig. I’m a ping pong ball that loves both players.

I’m happy in this volley until I remember my past life. Taryn? What’s going on with her? Did I see Harlow crying in the car earlier? I could’ve sworn I’d witnessed the unthinkable too. Morgan in the middle of Taryn’s living room with an open palm of pills. I blinked and they were gone. Could I have imagined it?

At night, I close my eyes to sleep. I dream of Mike until the sun shines through my window, forcing me out of bed. I smile at the thought of him. Mike is irresistible, more tempting than anything I’ve ever known. But then, I remember that the world doesn’t consist of only the two of us and I think, shit.

No one’s getting better.

I promised Harley I’d be there for her, but I’m not. The “disease” is running rampant and I’m not strong enough to fight it. To fight us. We’re the disease. Mom says I’m in a fog. Taryn and Morgan roll their eyes and excuse my behavior, by saying I’m on Planet Eleanor. I’m thankful for their excuses.

The constant war on Devin McCabe is a grueling one. Taryn’s jaw is locked in place, unrelenting and unwilling to release him until he’s dead. But, what is the prize this time? I don’t see it. If it were about Blake, the boy she claimed, I’d understand more. I keep telling myself that if I knew what Taryn and Morgan were up to for sure, I could stop it. But, the truth is, Taryn’s spiky and mean. She bristles when approached and my instincts tell me it’d be easier to subtract myself. Fade into a different life. One that makes me happy.

If I do that, none of this can be my fault.
