Chapter 25: Flames

ye
but we don't have to talk about it

Well
Physically
Sometimes the side of my chest where the lung got punctured aches
And my legs are sometimes sore after running the mile in P.E.
But other than that I made an amazing recovery
Even the doctor said  B-)

ooo spicy 🤭
look at u being healthy

Mhm :D

and
the other stuff?

Well
I got knocked out almost right away by the airbag
But I do remember the car skidding towards us
And my mom trying to control our car
I remember the taste of my blood in my mouth
And sometimes I have nightmares

oh
wow

But it's okay
I go to a therapist now
Dr. Owens
He's chill

OMG

Bye!

Mike angrily threw his phone onto the carpeted floor. He grabbed a pillow and shoved it over his face, then screamed with rage. But underneath that rage there was hurt. There was vulnerability. 

But most of all, there was love for the amazing, beautiful girl he'd only met because of his own mistakes. The best mistake. His yell of outrage was laced with love.

Love that felt like fire.

Flames. 

Mike was burning alive in them.

But it didn't hurt.
