Me: Did they tell you what happened?
Misty: Hot plate Mr. Noodle disaster.
I huffed out a breath, not even bothering to figure out how that led to that big of a fire.
Me: You staying with your parents?
Misty: Yuppers.
Misty: Are you staying with Lucas? Please tell me you’re staying with Lucas. You should have seen the way he came in to rescue you.
I refused to remember just how safe I felt in Lucas’s arms or the way he’d shown up exactly when I needed him.
Me: Don’t start.
Misty: oh, don’t worry. We’re having this discussion when we get back to the dorm even if I have to pin you down to do it.
Misty: I can’t believe you didn’t tell me.
Might as well rip the Band-Aid off.
Me: I maybe, sorta, kinda know four of the guys.
Misty: Who???
Me: Jax, River, and Alex.
Misty: You’re lucky I like you or I’d never forgive you for holding out on me.
Misty: It was the posters wasn’t it?
Me: they may have had something to do with it.
Misty: Fair.
Misty: See you soon.
Me: Hey.
Misty: Yeah?
Me: thank you for staying with me.
Misty: Girl you scared the shit out of me. Probably lost five years of my life.
Me: Sorry.
Misty: There’s an easy way to make it up to me.
Me: Already got us tickets for the opener.
Misty: I just totally squealed. Stay in touch, k?
Me: Will do. Let me know if you hear anything else.

Five kilometers into my run, sweat dripped down my neck, over my shoulder blades, and into the black fabric of my sports bra. My legs burned, and a sharp pain dug into my lower stomach, but I kept putting one foot in front of the other.
