Dealt With

{ Rio }

All through school a lot of kids wanted to be our friends and although we were always friendly with everyone, we never formed real friendships with anyone because it was always just the three of us and that's the way we liked it. Alex, Laurie and I, that was all we needed.

The others were just people we would sometimes go out to dinner with or who would invite us to their parties, but we never formed meaningful connections with anyone.

I'm regretting that now.

Because both Alex and Laurie are now dead to me, of course, but also because it means that when I get to Fallonmore I have no one to call. I have no one to turn to, no one who's not part of my family.

I mean, I could call some old friends to go for a drink or hang out, but to ask them for a place to stay? I don't think so. Fortunately, I have money and that's all I need to go lock myself in the hotel of Fallonmore.

That's where I stay, marinating in self-pity and deep hatred for my old friends. Including Lunanci now.
