JUDE
I did something wrong, but I don't know what I did.
I should, though, because then I will be able to fix it. My hands are trembling, and that ache at the back of my throat makes it hard to swallow.
I can't cry, no.
Crying makes one appear like they are victimizing themselves. I am not; that is not how Rin sees me, and that's not how I want the others to see me. Sighing with a shaky breath, my back presses on the wall behind me, briefly closing my eyes.
I messed up.
"There you are."
Andre walks up to me with a small smile, and I see Rex and Zein behind him, all coming towards me. I clear my throat and try smiling, but it only comes out as a grimace.
"Why are you hiding out here?" Rex asks as he sits on the floor, his pillow cradled on his torso.
"I am not hiding." I hide my hands in the long sleeves of my hoodie. "Why are you here?"
