Melodies
Chapter 14: Kell
Courtney dropped me off at home, being kind enough to not ask why I started crying when I got in the passenger seat. Once inside the house, I set my bag and my case under the kitchen counter, and I just went upstairs to my room.
I laid down on my bed, burying my face into my pillow. I couldn't handle the day I'd had. Jamie purged, I messed up my paper in English, I failed a Geography quiz, and then Juice broke. And I made an ass out of myself in front of Sydney when it broke.
I shut my eyes as tightly as I could, trying to stop thinking about it. Juice, the most reliable and comfortable instrument I'd ever used, had broken. It was so unexpected. The bridge snaps off maybe twice a year, but the support's never done anything until today.
My phone rang in my pocket. I took it out and turned it off, just needing a break from the outside world. I didn't want to talk to anyone and I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to sleep, and stay asleep until Jamie was fully recovered, Juice was magically fixed, and Sydney was inexplicably in love with me.
So, I never wanted to wake up.
