Chapter Ten
Mia
When I wake up, I want to start crying all over again. I cried myself to sleep last night. Jake slept downstairs, as he has done every night this week, while I sleep on my own in this room. He’s respected my wish for him to leave me alone. But it’s almost worse this way, when I know he’s in the same house, but I can’t touch him, because I told him to stay away from me. We’ve almost turned into housemates instead of whatever we were last weekend.
And it doesn’t get much better with the other guys, they all feel so far away, even when I can talk to them. Tom and Elly have been having dinner here every evening, but Dylan and Mal have stayed away. They’ve replied to messages, but just to answer questions, not to chat or just being social. I hate this distance between us.
