Word: lonely

Joshua never understood how one could feel lonely in a room full of people. It was odd. He was there, with all the members. Yet, somehow, he felt alone. And he’d rather feel alone in his room, where it was quiet and he could burrow under his blankets.

Silently, he got up and left. The rest of them were too busy to notice anyhow. By then he’d probably be asleep. Sleep sounded nice.
