We walked the rest of the way in silence. I took a deep breath as we arrived back at the room. I wished that he would talk more about my dad and I wished that I had the courage to ask him more.
But, I didn't and a part of me hated myself for it.
I'd spent enough time with Teresa that I wished that some of her braveness or even Ava's aggressiveness would rub off on me, but neither of them was present as we were climbed up the stairs and made it to my room.
As we got to the door he asked, "So, do you want to stay or leave?"
I nearly asked him, Leave to go where? If he knew about my situation, which I knew he did, he knew that I had nowhere to go officially and that this was my new home. Whether I liked it or not.
I shook my head.
"Please speak when spoken to."
"Stay."
I hated me
