Azalea I woke to someone poking me and the sounds of chatter. "Are you okay?" "What are you doing up here?" "You never came to the room last night or answered your damn phone." I opened my eyes and could see the girls around me, looking down with worried faces. I sat up slowly, my body hurting and even so my heart. "Oh my god what happened to you?" Cassie asked, squating down to look closer at my busted cheek crusted over with dried blood and my puffy eyes, one of which felt swollen. "I'm fine. It looks worse than it is," I replied, rolling my neck to release some tension. "I just needed some space yesterday." "You know you can talk to us right?" Celia asked gently, handing me a juice for which I was very thankful for. I downed the drink fast and nodded. "I know I just .... can't yet. I will soon though I promise," I replied. Cassie handed me a note and said, "This was slipped under the door for you this morning." "Ugh," I grunted, lightly slapping my forehead.
