HAYLEY
Perhaps I should have stayed at home snacking on Oreos. Or reading a novel. Or just getting teased to death by Corey. Literally, anything feels better in this moment than trudging down the empty, quiet end of my street.
My footwear slapping on hard gravel is the only sound echoing around me the farther I go. The street lamps on this side of the street have always been a flickering mess, and they're no different tonight. The few that glow steadily are swarmed with gnats, clouding what light they dare to offer.
I drag out a sigh. Axel had better give me a good explanation for wherever he's gone tonight.
If he wants to give me one, that is. Not that I'm entitled to answers on where he goes. Obviously not. Pfft. I mean, he can go wherever he wants at any time. Or be with whoever
