"I'm sorry"
Taylor's words shock you and Ashlyn as you pull out from your hug.
You both turn your attention to you're sweet friend. She's looking down and playing with her fingers as she talks.
"I.. I didn't realise you were taking on so much pressure on your own. And you're right.. I don't want to be here or the rest of my life. The phantoms are just a fact of this place.. no matter how many different plans we come up with, how long we put it off, or how many monsters there are, we'll still have to deal with them and get our hands dirty if we want out. The sooner we face and accept that, the faster we'll get our normal lives back."
A smile grows on you face. Taylor always had a way with words, a quality you wish you had yourself.
"So forget what I said earlier," she laughs, scratching the back of her head, "I got a little overwhelmed for a moment"
"I still think there's too many out there." Tyler interrupts and your smile drops. Taylor starts to sweat a little, as she looks at her brother begging him to not say something stupid.
He doesn't.
"But.. I suppose you aren't entirely wrong that right now could be our best chance. I'm sure those things will just keep growing in number rather than thin down anyway."
He looks at you but you look away.
"Right?? And Ben and Aiden don't seem opposed to the plan either!" Taylor smiles.
