Ending the feud

Angelica

It wasn’t enough that I had lost my mind. Now I was losing my memory too! How could I forget when today was?

As soon as I dumped my suitcase in my room, organization be damned, I grabbed my phone and made a beeline for the door. I met Curtis just as he exited the elevator.

“I’m going to the hospital.” I explained before he could ask. I didn’t know if he even wanted to know. Whatever.

He frowned, running his eyes over me. “Are you feeling unwell?”

Since when did he care if I was unwell? “I’m going to see Nana.” I pushed past him, declining his offer to drive me. This was my last chance.

Spider was right where I thought he would be, by Nana’s bedside reading her a book. Seeing her listening so silently, one would think she understood what Spider was reading to her. I knew she wasn’t understanding any single word of it.

Spider was the first to see me. He acted like I didn’t exist, reading on and flipping onto the next page.

Okay. Maybe it wasn’t going to be easy to end
