Chapter 44:

XLIV | Human

The Rowan Tree


[Special Rowan Chapter]

Kumar's gone back home,
Aspen's at camp until tomorrow.

I'm alone in the room
tonight.

Head under the pillow,
I let myself smile.

There's a restless
scratching

in my heart.

I'm fine.

I feel more alive now
than these past few days

when I only cried.

I know what Nya-Nya will say
about Clyde,

so i'm glad
she's not back yet.

Why is she taking so long,
though?

I need to think
of how to explain it to her.

But what can I say
except

the truth?

The only rule
I'm willing to break

is the one that doesn't allow me
to have a future with Clyde.

Why him?

There are so many
better guys out there.

I can already hear Nya-Nya nagging at me.

But I'm giving up on Clyde.

Not when
he's finally looking at me.

Just for a while.

Just let me have him,
for a while.

God put Clyde
in my life,
so I have to be a good witness,

right?
