Alicia opened her mouth to respond before snapping it close. I'm fine. Fine. Hadn't that been what she told everyone? It could be worse, right? She wasn't in prison. She wasn't a slave. She had friends being tortured every day, who was she to complain? Alicia couldn't say it though, not when she was in front of a friend. Wasn't that why she was mad at Katie, for lying?
"I'm shit. I'm absolute shit." Saying it out loud didn't make her feel any better but it didn't hurt either.
