Ch. 30 One More Second

Ch. 30 One More Second

A Chapter by theladygraceling

I like being there with him.
He talks while he cleans the counters
and serves other customers
and doesn't get mad when I stay
even after I finish my ice cream.

I'd stay there forever
if I had the option,
but then Will texts me,
reminding me that he's coming over,
and I have to go.

Matt ruins it
just as I'm about to leave.
He calls out,
just one second
before I reach the door.
"How's the arm?"

I almost don't answer
so I can pretend like I didn't hear.
But he gave me free ice cream
and I can't be rude.

He doesn't know.
He's just trying to be nice.

"It hurts,"
I say out loud.
Just like everything else,
I say in my head,
where no one else can hear.
