The drive to my house feels like an eternity. I turn on the radio and listen to whatever is playing. I obviously had chosen this station for their heavy emphasis on love songs. I listen with a heavy heart as songs like “Bound to You” by Christina Aguilera and “Somewhere Only We Know” by Lily Allen play. I completely lost my shit as I pull my car up to the curb in front of my house just as John Mayer’s “Dreaming With A Broken Heart” begins to play.

I sit in the car as the words of the song crush my heart and strip my soul. How could I have been so wrong? How does a man hold back your hair while you puke your insides out, and then call you a whore less than eight hours later?

I slip slowly from my car, and walk up the cement walkway. I’m going to have to remember that the one person I can always count on is me. I put my key in the lock and open the door. The house smells musty from being closed up for so long. There must be fifty pieces of mail on the floor. I was supposed to do a change of address, but I never got around it. In the end, it’s a good thing that I didn’t find the time.

I shut the door behind me, and walk over to the couch and collapse. I allow myself fifteen minutes to wallow in my own sorrows. Once I finish, I pull my phone out of my pocket.

There are over twenty missed calls from Anthony. I press delete without listening to any of them. There are many texts, but I don’t have the energy to read them. There is nothing that he can say at this point. The last call on my phone is Kat. I go to the kitchen to get a diet coke from the refrigerator, and back to crumple myself into a ball on the couch.

I look at my phone for a minute. Avoiding the compulsion to read Anthony’s messages, I begin to type a short text to Kat.

Me: Hey Kat, it’s Emma.

Kat: Oh, sweetie, are you okay? Where are you?

Me: I’m home. My home. Please don’t tell Anthony.

Kat: He knows, honey. He called us, and asked us to check on you. He said you wouldn’t answer your phone or answer his texts. He guessed that you went to your house. What happened?

Me: I don’t really want to talk about it. Can we talk tomorrow? I just want to go to sleep.

Kat: I’m on my way. Hang in there. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.

Me: Please don’t come, I’m really going straight to bed. Let’s meet at Java Joes for breakfast at around ten o’clock tomorrow morning.

Kat: All right, but I’m worried about you.

Me: I’m okay; I’ll see you tomorrow. Love you!

Kat: You’re full of shit, Emma, but I’ll respect your decision. I’ll meet you at Joe’s. Love you!

Me: Night

I end my text and turn off my phone.
