I stand in the middle of my apartment, feelings too much of a riot to process. I just quit my job. I just quit the one “relationship” I had. Because he didn’t want me anymore. The pain is real, and vivid, and it pierces my heart in a way I hadn’t imagined .

So much for all my lofty plans. My aspirations to save money and go back to school. I have enough to pay the next month or two of rent, at best. And now I have to find another shitty job to fill my time, and school has retreated yet further from view .

And that doesn’t even touch the hurt I’m feeling over Bentley’s sudden 180 .

This blow was too much to deal with. I’ve never felt more alone than I do right now. I sit on the edge of my small twin-size bed and ponder my options in an effort to get my mind off the deep, deep sadness I feel from Bentley’s rejection .

One, I can stay. Take on another bartending/waitress job…if I can even get one .

Two, I can return home and face my parents .

God, I don’t want to. I can already imagine what they’re going to say. The sharp disappointment they’ll express at me once again blundering away an important moment in my life. I could try to lie and pretend something else happened that drove me away. But I’m a terrible liar, and they’ll drag it out of me eventually .

Maybe I’m wrong, though. Maybe if I show up and they see how hurt and struggling I am, they’ll take pity on me and help me figure out what to do. How to get over Bentley. How to find direction again. Maybe I’m not giving them enough credit. After all, I know they care about me. They want the best for me .

When my roommate gets back that evening from work, I decide to tell her the news—that I’m moving back home to live with my parents again, at least for the foreseeable future. I’m nervous that she’ll be angry at me leaving her with no notice. And I can’t blame her. But surely she’d want someone who can carry her end of the bargain .

I can’t expect her to float me until I find a job that will pay my way. It isn’t fair .

Callie is surprisingly kind. Perhaps because she sees my mascara-stained cheeks. I don’t go into details about what specifically happened. Just that I got tangled up with my boss and it ended badly .

“It happens,” she says as she draws me into a hug. I feel bad for not thinking better of her .

“I’ll find a way to keep paying my rent until you can replace me,” I tell her as I pull away .

She grins. “No worries. My girlfriend wants to move in, anyway. We’ve been talking about it for a few weeks now, but I was waiting for the right time to see what you thought. She can help me until we can fill your spot .
