Chapter 3 ☾ Distraction

Opal POV

When I get to the front door of Rain's house, I can already feel my blood pressure rising despite the frigid temperatures biting at my fingertips. I want to hang out with my friend, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Is it worth the pain of being here? Is it too late to bail?

Rain throws the door open. I didn't knock but 3 seconds ago. The 16 year old girl's nostrils flare, she grips the door with one hand and the other hand is planted firmly on her hip.

Yeah, it's definitely too late to bail.

"It's about damn time! I am so tired of this place. I am suffocating." She complains, and I almost laugh. She dodges one of her little siblings as they run by like a blur. Rain giving a shriek as a little tyke latches onto her leg with a death grip. I hold back a laugh, not wanting to piss her off further.
