章 38: Episode 38- The Way Things Are

When I woke up, Emily still wasn't home. I looked around the entire house. "Emily"? No one responded. I went to Catra's house. Sea dog and Bones were still there. "Hey Catra", I greeted her with a hug and smile. "Hi Inko, how have you been"? "Great... kinda". "I hear you have a new best friend now", she frowned. "It's not like that, you guys are both my best friends". "Yeah okay", she rolled her eyes. "By the way, have you seen Emily, she was supposed to be here or at home". "She came by yesterday but left last night". "Oh, do you know why"? "She went to see her boyfriend". "Boyfriend"? My heart sank, I felt like it was being stabbed. I felt a deep ache. "Yeah, Liam... she's back with him". "She's back with Liam... councilman Liam"? "Yeah, sad right. I told you not to trust her". "O-okay", I said, choking back tears. I went back home and started destroying everything.
