Too Late for Sorry — Episode 9

Turned off my phone. Watched from a distance as Shane stormed back to his group. He grabbed Chloe's arm without a second thought and marched left toward his gate. I sighed and turned right toward mine. The whole time abroad, I put on a happy face for my family. But Maddie and other friends kept sending me updates on him. Shane was in Aspen with his

crew for days. For some reason, he was posting every single day, which was weird because he'd go months without posting. Coach had a whole speech about social media distracting from game. In every group photo, he and Chloe were basically fused at the hip. That spot next to him for years that was mine but every time i remembered what he'd said i'd mentally slap

mia don't be pathetic that's how you make people lose respect i got up at six every morning to run with my cousin miles along the scene then more miles until my legs shook my aunt was a chef she threw out every snack in her pantry and taught me how to actually cook lean protein vegetables portions that made sense i signed up for boxing classes three times a week then

Weeks turned into a month. My jeans got loose, then loose enough to fall off. My aunt took me shopping in the Marais, bought me clothes that actually fit the new me.

Learned how to do my makeup from my cousin, who worked at a beauty counter.
