I scratch my head. "Yeah... I can see why..." Wow... Sage dead? Why her out of all of them? Why not Jean or Helix? Or maybe now's my chance to make amends.
I clear my throat and say bluntly, "Helix, I'm sorry, dude, for all those times I attacked her."
I open the door, not even asking if I can come in and jump on top of the covers, trying to hug him through the sheets. "No you're not!" I say, face still hurting.
"Well, sorry, why the **** would I do that? But seriously dude, how do you think I handled it when Holly died? Well, before I found out she was alive again but that's besides the point. I lost myself. I drank. I got in fights. I was stupid. Just don't be like me."
