RYDER

Fuck, I have no idea how much time has passed. How long have I been in the shithole, hoping and praying for something to happen?

At times, I have the feeling that it hasn't been all that long. Other times, I wake up from a short, uncomfortable nap and convince myself that it's been weeks since I last saw the sun. And Aria.

I only hope that she's somehow figured out that I'm not going to show up and got out of there. Maybe Coach went to fetch her and they're hiding right now. All I can ...
