Sense of Security

SARAH

When I returned to Joy's apartment, she led me to the guest's room with half-sleepy eyes and quickly returned to bed. I knew she had to go to work early, so our conversation about Alex and everything that had happened in Phuket had to yet again wait.

Thankfully, she had only a few things in our apartment, and for some reason, those who had so violently invaded our privacy spared her favorite Death Note sweatshirt and Tokyo Ghoul trench coat. That made me feel a little bit less guilty for occupying her apartment.

By the time the sound of the obnoxious alarm in my phone spread across the room, Joy was already gone. I wished she didn't have to leave for work so early. I could really use a friend at that moment…

I drew a deep breath and painted a bright smile. I did it for Liam. I didn't want him to see me anxious or sad. Of course, he was aware of what had happened at our apartment, but I didn't let him see what those bastards did. I told myself that I was going to clean this mess
