#Chapter 89: Zombies Exist Too

Celeste I had lost my freedom completely. I had lost Matt completely. I had lost all of my chances to be happy. It felt like my life was over and maybe it was. Jack didn't let me leave the house without an escort. He had spies all over the campus. I couldn't deviate from my normal schedule, even if it was just for a bathroom break, without getting an irate call asking me what I was doing. But that wasn't the worst consequence of being outed as Rose. I hadn't seen Matt since the ball and he was ignoring all of my calls and texts. It was like I had ceased to exist to him. And I supposed I deserved it. I had been lying to him. Not only through messages,but to his face. I had wanted to break things off with him at the ball, which would have resulted in losing him as Rose, but I would have still had him as Celeste, even if it was just as friends. I hadn't realized exactly how much Matt meant to me until he wasn't in my life anymore, period.
