Chapter Fourteen

“Still not feeling well, huh?”

I’m in bed with the blankets pulled up to my chin when my mom steps into the room. She walks over to the side of my bed, looking down at me with a sympathetic expression on her face.

“Not really,” I lie.

She purses her lips. “Well, if you wake up tomorrow still feeling this way, I’m going to have to take you to the doctor,” she warns. “You’ll need a note to get back into school, you know.”

I get the feeling she knows I’m not really sick and am simply dodging a bad situation I don’t want to deal with. But she seems willing to let me work this out on my own and deal with it in my own way, in my own time. And I appreciate her indulgence, more than she even knows.

It’s been a couple of days since the debacle out at Blackjacks and I haven’t been to school since. I can’t face Owen or Olivia just yet. And I especially can’t face Asher. I still can’t believe I fucked him. Even if it was only out of spite.

“Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow,” I tell her.

“I hope so, too.”

She leans down and kisses me on the forehead, then offers me a small smile. I reach out and take her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

“Okay, kiddo, I’m off to work,” she announces. “I’ll pick something up for dinner on the way home. Just give me a call if you want something special.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

She leaves my room and a couple of minutes later, the front door closes as she heads out for the day. I groan as I pull the covers over my head, shutting the world out, and go back to sleep for a while. I’m hoping all the great philosophers are wrong and you actually can ignore all of your problems and have them just go away.

The obnoxiously repeated ringing of the doorbell pulls me out of sleep, and I sit up blearily. I rub my eyes and grab my phone and groan to myself as soon I look at the screen. I’ve been asleep for half the day. Ignoring all of the missed calls and text messages like I have for the last couple of days, I stand up as the doorbell rings again and is followed by somebody pounding on it. Thinking that maybe my mom accidentally locked herself out, I pull myself together, bound down the stairs, and open the door.

“It’s about time.” Olivia beams at me from my front porch. “Do you know how long I’ve been out here?”

“Couldn’t tell you.”

She purses her lips and pushes her way past me, walking into the house. I close the door behind her with a sigh.

“Sure, come on in,” I mutter.

“Well, since you weren’t returning my calls or texts, I had to take drastic action,” she explains. “This whole icky thing happening between us just cannot stand any longer. I’ve decided.”

“Oh, you have, huh?”

She nods and walks away from me. “Indeed, I have.
