“Well, then let’s turn around,” said Hutch.

Turn around and do what? Keep on running? Keep on hiding?

Hutch avoids me. He avoids looking at me. And I keep pushing the wrong buttons hoping he wouldn’t change his path. The day was already going up in flames. I couldn’t let our world get caught in that fire; I couldn’t let us fall apart.

It hurts! It hurts because John Blaine hid the truth from me. It hurts more because Hutch wears his heart right on his sleeve. I hurt damn much much more because I ain’t ready for his truth.
