The ringing of the rusty triangle stirred me from my dreams of Delilah. I hadn’t dreamt of her in a long time. She was the one person I tried to block out of my life after that day. I let her down and broke her heart. I was a coward, and I spent the next part of my life running from that decision. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and stared into the harsh light in my room. It wasn’t morning anymore. The clock read 1:00 P.M. I groaned and shifted in the bed, pain radiated out from my ribs and leg as my head pounded to a beat of its own. I reached for the nightstand only to knock the open pill bottle to the floor. The pills skittered to all corners of the room with a clatter. Zip jumped up and tried to get them.

“Zip, no!” I lurched forward to grab his color before he left the bed. Pain shot up my side and darkened the edges of my vision. I wrapped my fingers into his collar and held on. My teeth clenched. I tried to stay conscious through the next wave of pain.
