Chapter 36:

XXXVI | Nobody

The Rowan Tree


Last night,

I stormed out of Rowan's house
without seeing

Kumar.

After knowing
the full story,

I didn't know how to face him.

I didn't know how to
help.

There was nothing
I could do,

nothing I could say.

I cursed Rowan,
blamed her,

thought she was wrong.

It's 3pm
when I wake up

but I can't

get out of bed.

I pick up my phone,
scroll through my messages
aimlessly.

I don't have any.

My friends are quiet today.

I throw my phone
across the room.

It clatters
with a satisfying sound.

I want to punch something.
I want to #*%& someone.

I want to go back to being happy.

It took me eight years
to recover

from that.
