Knock..knock..knock...
The knock at the 3RM special room soon pulled Aiden out of his whirlpool of thoughts. Quickly drying his tears, he shoved his phone into his pocket and stood up to open the door.
As the door creaked open, Olive, Mark, and Lara were revealed, prompting a smile to tug at his lips.
"Hey buddy!" Lara greeted with a warm smile.
"You're here already?" Aiden asked, his voice hoarse from the crying he'd just suppressed.
"Yes! Now let's get out of here," Mark replied, his energy a stark contrast to Aiden's exhaustion. He grabbed Aiden by the arm, pulling him into the hallway as the others followed.
