I missed Grodge deeply. Phoebe could see it. Phoebe missed her too. So did Leo.

I needed her like oxygen because now I felt like I was suffocating.

I blamed the universe or fate or whatever more than I blamed her or myself. I didn’t understand why she wanted to stay at the villain facility. I just didn’t understand. Sometimes, cursing out the universe seemed like the only thing you could do to release the pent-up anger and hurt. I felt so mentally exhausted from being so angry and upset that I felt physically nauseous. I laid in my room in my bed to relax. I sighed deeply as I stared at the bed above me. I prayed Grodge would just show up here. I didn’t know if she’d ever be able to find me at the hero facility. It had been months.
