“Jude, you okay?”
Celeste’s knock startles me. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I call back, locking my phone and reaching for my housecoat.
“I thought you said you were going to shower,” she questions, voice muffled against the door.
“Yep, sorry, I got distracted.” I swing open my bedroom door to find Celeste waiting. She’s about six inches taller than I am, so when we’re standing, I always have to look up at her.
“Look, I’m sorry,” Celeste says. “Sometimes my outrage towards your parents and society as a whole comes out as anger towards you, and that’s not fair.”
“I know, Cel,” I say. “It’s okay.”
“It’s not. You need support right now, not more negativity.”
I offer her a smile. “It’s okay, really.”
