In My Head?
I don’t know how long I’ve been here.
It’s dark. That’s all I can say about it.
No windows. No light. No sound.
The room is damp. Always is.
I don’t know how long I’ve been in here.
My mind swirls and flares.
The wet smell holds my nose.

I don’t know how long I’ve been in here.

Sam
His shadow loomed over the window. My heart hammered as I got closer. "Hi, Veronica. It’s me, Sam. Are we still going on our date?"

Jealous❗️ [PRT. 2]❗️
It’s Wednesday, and I stand infront of my house, along with many others, watching the parade go by. Trumpets sound and drums beat. As expected, Xander is nowhere in sight. I had hopes maybe he would show up at the last second, that maybe he would feel guilty for ditching me. I was wrong.
