Re: The Hallway.
There was something in there that he said that had caught her attention. He said he needed her there. She couldn't possibly figure out why. "What would you need me for? You've got so much now." It was true. There were girls and guys at that table. He had a new 'dad', a swanky apartment, lots of cash.
And what did he mean like he always screwed things up? She was the one who screwed up here, not him. Sort of. She didn't know. She was confused and if she wasn't so worried about her appearance, she would have probably messed up her hair in frustration just thinking about it.
