miller is your best friend. you also have a crush on him. it's november and seasonal depression is hitting you harder than it feels like it ever has. so, you sneak out of the house. is it safe? absolutely not, no. and in even worse judgement, you walk.

after mindlessly walking for about an hour, crying. you slump down on a bench and pull your phone out of your pocket. you see it's 2am.

i click on miller's contact, ready to call him. this is stupid. why am i doing this? he's probably asleep. but my thumb hits the call button anyway. i hang up quickly, not intending to do that. i hope he doesn't know and he's still peacefully asleep.

but my phone rings. his name is displayed on the screen.
