Thankfully she didn’t fuss too much. Lord knows my nerves couldn’t have handled that—not another breakdown like the one she had a few days ago when Adam came and went too quickly for her to grasp. Having him back and then not having him was more than she could handle. More than I could handle. It was that sort of back and forth that I didn’t want. The instability wasn’t fair to Rissa and I wouldn’t have that, which was why Gabby’s interference upset me so badly. Still, though, I shouldn’t have blown up on her like that. If I’d seen her lately I would’ve apologized… but I hadn’t.Usually, she was here for breakfast, then came back to check in after school before doing the same with her mother, and then she was back again for dinner. Three whole days had passed since the incident and she was like a ghost. Even going to her apartment had turned up nothing. She was avoiding me like the plague and I couldn’t blame her. We needed to make things right. Worrying about her had my stomach in knots, as if I needed more things to worry about.
