The drive home from the city was pretty quiet other than Indi and I. I caught her up on what happened with Panda and she looked like she was going to cry on my behalf. The guys though… to say that my guys were pissed at me is an understatement. In fact, I’ve barely heard from them since we got back Friday afternoon.
A day and a half of almost radio silence since then. It sucks, but I get it. I’ve been pissy enough with them about secrets, and I wouldn’t tell them Alex’s secret. It isn’t something that will help them, and the threat of it was enough to get Indi home. And as I reminded them, it’s not like they tell me everything either.
We dropped her off with Ryker, under the promise that I got to see her today. I want to talk to her about what happened while she was gone, but also, I miss my bestie. I feel like we’ve both been wrapped up in our own chaos lately, that we haven’t hung out properly in too long.
At least I got to spend the day with East yesterday, even if the others were MIA. Watching movies in bed with him was awesome, plus I got to make sure he was actually okay. He seemed a little distracted, but other than that, I think he’s actually doing okay, all things considered.

Me:
Going for a run. Obviously the stalker thing is mostly over, so you don’t have to come. Just telling you so no one freaks out at me later.
My phone buzzes almost instantly.
Lincoln:
You don’t run alone. Not until we know who Evan was working with. Give me twenty, and I’ll come with you.
I smile down at my phone. I guess the silent treatment is over.
Yay me.
Me:
Okay, I’ll meet you at the gates in twenty.
Maverick:
You guys are insane. Go the fuck back to sleep.
East:
What he said.
Finley:
Enjoy your run. Crazies. Meet you after for breakfast?
Me:
Sounds good. East, can you come over, or are you still on bed rest?
East:
Pretty sure I can manage it across the yard to yours.
Mav:
I’ll be there.
Me:
