Chapter 136 Penny Is Weird

• Alex POV:::
• We don't say anything on our way back. And I am thankful for the silence. For her companionship and her friendship. Maggie occasionally makes funny side comments as we walk past certain landmarks on our route to the residential halls, but for the most parts, she remains quiet. She doesn't ask me about my meeting with Zane. She doesn't inquire why I came back red eyed and so obviously wrecked. She gives me the space and silence I need to clear my head. It doesn't work.
• When we reach the hall, I found that my heart still felt heavy. My mouth still dry. My head still hurting. I found that I could still feel the intense hurt from my most recent heartbreak again. I can't believe I went and subjected myself to that. After the first one almost killed me, I should have known better.
