It might have taken us seventeen years to get to this point, but we had a lifetime ahead of us to make up for it.

EPILOGUE

Jesse

Four years later

My phone buzzedon the bed next to me, snapping me out of the daze I’d fallen into.

I scooped it up and checked my notifications. Isaac was in the group chat.

Isaac: hypothetically speaking, if two people are in the same place when something bad happens, are they both equally responsible?

Asa: depends on if they were both involved in the incident that caused the bad thing

Zander: what did you and Jamie do this time?

Isaac: we were scrimmaging and broke the window in our living room

Jesse: scrimmaging like playing hockey inside?

Isaac: ball hockey!

Luka: balls are just as hard as pucks

Isaac: balls are hard *snicker*

Asa: who hit the ball into the window?

Isaac: Jamie hit it, but I deflected it

Asa: then it’s your fault

Isaac: what??? I’m calling fake news

Zander: I’m with Asa. You were the last one to touch it, so it’s your fault

Isaac: but it was a deflect!

Jesse: still on you dude

Isaac: fine

Isaac: but I’m telling Jamie it was his fault because I don’t accept this verdict

Isaac: yo Jess

Jesse: what?

Isaac: why are you texting with us and not getting dicked down rn?

Jesse: how do you know I’m not?

Isaac: wait

Isaac: are you????

Jesse: you’ll never know
