When You're Gone
Chapter 2: Here I Am

We continued to look into Deepground the next day. I put my head on the table. I was so tired.

"Where were you last night?" Shelke asked.

I looked at her. Part of me wanted to hate her. She took Vincent away from me. I blinked and said, "Out."

"Where?"

"I was...with someone. On a date," I lied.

"Who?" Vincent asked from behind me.

"I don't see how it matters," I said dangerously, "I can date whoever the hell I want."

"You date?" Shelke asked.

"Yes," I growled. They didn't have to know that last night I just didn't want to be around them...

I walked away and continued working.


Sorry it was short, but whatever.

'Here I Am' is a song by Marion Raven.
