One Month Later

I hated the summer heat, but I was getting used to it. It was only a week into July, but it was ten times hotter than June had been. I barely noticed it anymore. While I worked outside, I always zoned in on what I was doing and shoved away everything else, including the heat. My grandfather would watch me closely when I worked around him, but I never gave him a reason to yell at me again.

I hadn’t turned on my phone in over a month. I’d felt like I was missing a part of my body by not having it on or with me, but I’d dealt with it. Turning it on would only lead to more tears, and I’d cried enough. It was time to move on and get my life back on track.

When I’d first come here, I had dreaded the summer. Now that I wasn’t with Joel, I was dreading the day when I would have to return home. I still had a month and a half before I would have to go back for school, and I was savoring every day. I didn’t want to go back. I was afraid that I would run into Joel or someone would start shit with me at school. Now that I wasn’t under Joel’s protection, I was sure that I would be targeted a lot more by the girls at my school.

I’d spent the last month learning how to forget about Joel. It still hurt to think about him, but I was slowly healing and moving on. The longer I spent without him, the more I realized just how much he’d changed me. No, he hadn’t been the one who changed me. That was on me. I’d become a different person because I thought that was who I was supposed to be to make him happy, but no more. I decided to accept myself for who I was and let the anger go. It was almost as hard as not thinking about Joel, but I was doing it. Maybe by the time I made it home, I would be healed.

“Let’s do something fun tonight,” Landon said as he closed the barn door. Then, he started walking to the house with me.

Over the past month, I’d started to open up to him more. He never mentioned our kiss or the day after, but I knew when he was thinking about it. I would catch him staring at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention, and he was always careful not to touch me any more than he had to. I had put him in the friend zone, and I was trying my hardest to keep him there.

Since we were both ignoring our attraction for each other and focusing on being friends, we’d become even closer. Landon was my best friend now, not that I’d had one before. I would tell him everything that bothered me. I’d talked about Joel and the things I’d done for him.
