Chapter 30 Nothing Changed

• Beau finds me quickly after my scuffle with Laura. He claps me on the back and tells me good job for fucking her up. Mia squeals in response. I laugh as I tell Beau to stop swearing around Mia but accept the compliment all the same. He asks if I want to dance and I consider for a second before declining. The fight took a lot out of me.
• I find a table and sit Mia down before sitting down myself. I give her one of the snacks that I packed for her as I rest my head in my palm and scope out the room. It’s nice getting away from all the bullshit of the evening.
• My hand still stings slightly but not enough that I feel like doing anything about it. Truthfully, my feet sting more and my shoulder’s aching a bit from where Laura tossed me on my back. Mia quietly eats her Teddy Bears as I watch the people in the auditorium.
