“Truth or Truth Mir?” I look up at the sound of my preferred name. I roll my eyes, “do we seriously have to play this game?!” Gabe rolls he’s eyes at me “It’s tradition! Tilly, Wylie back me up here” Tilly sighs “it is what we do on the first day of summer since we were 5” Wylie nods “can’t break the tradition now” I grin despite myself “fine you probably won’t believe this, but I pick truth” Gabe rubs his hands together smirking. “I truth you to tell us what you did at Christmas and why it was so terrible the moms had you not speak to us for 3 months” Wylie glares at him “come on dude we agree to not talk about that”

I kneed my hands against the soft green pillow next to me. “ it’s okay I’ll tell _you” _

It was late when it happened

About 2:00 in the morning

The moms were drunk

Chatting away

You guys were asleep

I was angry

I was angry that the whole world

So I did something unforgivable

I burn that your guys house to the ground

I walk to snowy path to the place where you lived

I struck the matches

Smoke fill my nose and I ran

I’m so so sorry

They were hugging me all of them. I sat in there warm embrace.

“It’s okay” they said “it’s _okay_”
