Part 37
âJosh! Put a trigger in her to go back into trance if I say âSleep, Janet, sleep,â okay?â
âSure, Tiff, will do.â Josh nodded as he watched the mindless Janet in the chair.
âWait! No, Iâm not using that trigger anymore. Not since Dillon hijacked it. Uhh, come up with something, anything! Just make sure it only works for me, okay?â
âNo problem.â Josh shrugged.
âAnd then shut it all down and wake her up,â Tiffany called as she left the room again.
She hurried back to reach the door of Joshâs apartment, and a few moments later, there was a knock on the door.
âTiff! Ohmygod, hi!â Hannah sprang inside and gave Tiffany an enthusiastic hug.
âHey, Hannah,â Tiffany replied, hugging her back. âIâm glad you could make it.â
âOh me too!â Hannah squealed. âHonestly Tiff I thought this day would never come, you know we talk about Josh Bailey all the time in class, the basketball star, the drop dead gorgeous man, and heâs like super smart as well, right? And youâre friends with him and thatâs amazing and itâs great to come here to hang out with you and him, and do you think itâd be okay if I ask for his autograph? For when heâs super famous? Does he have a girlfriend? I mean, I know heâs waaaay out of my league but I was just curious. Youâre not seeing him in secret, are you? I mean, no, thatâs silly, youâre seeing Erin, right? How is she? How are you both? I was wondering ifâ¦â
Tiffany stopped hearing what Hannah was saying, her thoughts now obsessing over Erin. She had tried to tune them out, but that had been a futile idea. Where even was Erin right now? Why wasnât she here? Didnât she want to know what Tiffany had decided to do with everyone? Didnât she care? Why would she put Tiffany into a position of such power and then just fuck off the way she did? Another test, maybe? Or was she truly done with them all? Was she cutting them off preemptively, because she feared thatâs what they would do to her?
âTiff, Iâm so sorry!â Hannah held her hands to her mouth. âI said something wrong I know it. Which part was it? Iâm sorry Iâm such an idiot.â
Tiffany felt confused as her focus returned to Hannah, until she realised that her cheeks were wet with the tears rolling down them. She tried to speak, to tell Hannah it was nothing, but her throat was suddenly too dry for words, and instead she let out an involuntary sob.
Hannah pulled her into her arms, tucking Tiffâs head into her shoulder. âItâs okayâ¦â she soothed. âOh Tiff, Iâm so sorry. Itâs okay⦠Itâs okayâ¦â
For the first time that Tiffany could remember, Hannah stayed mostly silent, holding onto Tiffany and consoling her. It was oddly comforting, and Tiffany wondered how long it would last. As she drew away from the hug, she looked at Hannah, grateful for her support.
âThank you. I really needed that hug,â she admitted.
