The Stars Will Shine
“I ignore both Trevyn’s and Amber’s texts. I don’t even read any of them because I don’t want to feel the guilt that’ll come from knowing the words I’m ignoring. Instead, I hole up in my room under the covers of my bed for entire days, illegally streaming television shows on my laptop. I don’t go down for dinners—still haven’t yet this summer—but I go down around one o’clock in the mornings, long after everyone has retired to their rooms for the night, and eat cold leftovers. There’s always left...overs, always a meal carefully stored away in a plastic container ready for me to heat up, and I hate that Aunt Miranda does it for me, that she does me any favors at all.
My dad calls me one evening. I see his face and number light up the screen of my smartphone, and I just stare at it like I’ve done every time he has called this summer, until it finally stops ringing. When the screen goes black, my eyelids fall shut. I keep them that way for a long time, breathing in slowly through my nose.MoreLess
