SCENE VIII

THE CAB ride home from Rager was a blur. It seemed like the time between stepping out of Rager and walking through the door of Aunt Georgina’s apartment was mere moments. I didn’t even know what time it was when I walked through the door. It couldn’t be too terribly late, though, because Aunt Georgina was still up, this time watching old Friends reruns on cable.

“You’re home early,” she said in surprise as I walked through the door.

I could see a glint of worry in her eyes as she said this. I needed to get away from her quickly, before she really picked up that something was bothering me.

“I have plans with Wes and the others tomorrow morning,” I explained, hurrying into the bathroom, pretending like I really needed to pee to escape her questing gaze.

I splashed water on my face and flushed the toilet for extra measure, even though I didn’t use it, and slipped from the bathroom and into my bedroom. Well, Lucy’s bedroom. I collapsed onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling, a heavy feeling growing in my chest.

Was I being an idiot for listening to Donnie, for letting his words get under my skin? He hated me, that much was evident, and would have liked nothing more than to send me into this sort of spiral.

But just because the words came from a disgusting, vile source didn’t mean there wasn’t a hint of truth in them, argued another part of my brain. Could I completely discount Donnie’s words just because they came from him?

My mind continued to war back and forth like this for I don’t know how long, chasing away any chance at sleep. Anytime I tried to slow the thoughts down or divert them they just came back stronger than ever.

Tate O’Connor, I thought morosely, overthinker extraordinaire.
