Chapter 19

I was determined not to think.

Yes, I put a total embargo on all brain activity because to think was to come to some realisations and to come to those realisations was something that I knew I did not want to do. By the end of a long Thursday night spent tossing and turning I was wishing that I didn't have a brain at all…or at least a conscience within it.

Still, when my brain caught me weakening my resolve not to think (meaning just as I was about to drift off to sleep) it would send one short, urgent message: Haley knows!

I was so unbelievably screwed and I couldn't for the life of me figure a way out of the mess I was in. What with whatever it was that was going on with Simone, Micky and Sam it felt as if all control of the situation had completely left my hands. And so I baulked at taking any drastic action and determined to wait until I could talk the Haley situation out with Jack. Maybe he could talk to her…or maybe he knew a good hit man.

I didn't even have time for a shower so I just pulled on dry clothes, gave my hair a quick blow dry and ran for the bus which, of course, pulled away from the stop as soon as I approached it. So then I had to wait for the second bus and was, in fact, late. After being told off by my boss I set to work piling books which, by the time the end of my shift rolled around, had my arms aching.

As I stepped outside I found that the lashing rain and whipping wind had increased rather than decreased in ferocity and I was drenched through in about two seconds. Naturally I had to wait over half an hour for the bus home, still getting soaked by the rain as the bus shelter could do little against horizontal droplets.
