Chapter 175
The Figured it Out
That night, I force myself to slow down, to actually think. Nikki convinced me that it is time to talk to them, and I convince her that I need one more night to process everything.
Tomorrow I will speak to them, open up in ways that I have never opened up before. Ask them questions that will probably make us all question what our future will look like.
I go over every conversation, every moment, trying to make sense of what I feel, of what I
want.
Then, finally, I make a decision. I text our group chat, setting the expectation so we all
know what's needed.
A: Can we all talk after dinner?
J: Sure.
Aiden: Yeah, of course.
Z: Yes.
And just like that, it's set in stone. There's no backing out.
Hours later, we are all sitting in the living room. The guys are sitting beside each other on the couch while I am on a chair I dragged in from the dining table.
I want to face them, look at them all as we speak.
I'm so tense that my stomach knots up. I didn't really eat much of my dinner, nervous about this conversation. My palms are damp, my mouth dry as I lick my lips to try to add
some moisture.
