Chapter 44

• Regret, annoyance, and disappointment curse through me, all rolled into one stupid lead ball that sits in the base of my stomach.
• Part of me wants to go home right now. My night is ruined, all because of one snide comment from Alex, even though I know he was only trying to be a good friend and look out for me.
