    Summary

    If you asked her what she was doing outside at 3 a.m., she wouldn’t have an answer.

    Not a real one, anyway.

    She’s walking down an empty sidewalk with smeared makeup on her face, tear tracks drying on her cheeks. Her knees are scraped raw, her elbow isn’t much better, and the skateboard she’s dragging behind her is snapped clean in half. Her throat burns from screaming earlier, and her phone buzzes weakly in her pocket.

    Forty-six missed calls.

    All from her best friend.

    She barely notices them anymore.

    She’s technically walking home, but she’s taking the long way, so long she’s not even sure this street is one she knows. Maybe she’s lost. Maybe she isn’t. At the moment, she doesn’t really care.

    If you asked her what happened tonight, why she looks like she crawled out of a fight with the world and lost, she’d probably just shrug.

    She’d tell you she has no clue.

    But that wouldn’t exactly be the truth.
