"They blamed me before. I blame me. I feel bad. I just...I should talk to them. I should. I need to." Just because he wasn't blamed didn't mean they would be happy with him. Maybe there was no blame but that didn't mean there wouldn't be hard feelings. Mean feelings. Hate.

"I just want...nevermind." It wouldn't be like how it was. That was why he was hiding. He would rather be invisible. This is what he was afraid of.

"I'm scared. I...they're still my friend. You're my friend. And...I just want us to still be friends. That's all I want."
