We drop Ethan off home and break the news to Charlotte, she didn't take it well; who would. Alex gets dropped off outside the Black Lantern and I go to get out as my apartment is a two minute walk away but Ryan insisted on dropping me off right outside. "What's wrong with your hand?" I hear from beside me. "Oh, just some rope burn, it's no big deal. I get it all the time when hiking." Is my simple reply not talking my eyes off the road. I can feel him looking at me every couple of seconds but I pay no notice "You hike?" The tone told me he was shocked by the information. "Yep, since I was fourteen. I use it as an escape, at the start is was from my family then it changed to an escape from my emotions and just about anyone else's bullshit."

The rest of the drive is silent even when we reach my apartment. I just get out of the car with a quiet "thanks" then I ascend the stairs to my box covered home.

My first day here and I help save a life and then see someone lose theirs.
