Chapter 14

Fourteen Months Ago

Garrick sat in his room, sincerely trying not to overthink his relationship. He and Hayden had been together for seven months to the day. That was supposed to mean something, but to her, it didn’t seem important. Instead of spending the day with him, she chose to go on a camping trip with her friends on which he was very intentionally excluded.

He wasn’t sure what to make of it, but it didn’t sit well with him. They’d been in a tough place for a while, but in his mind it was the perfect day to reconcile. With Brooke’s nudge, he had finally built up the resolve to give her a chance to explain. He had told her that he wanted to talk before the camping trip, and tried to explain the problem with her choosing camping over him, but it only led to a bigger fight. He hated the thought, but he couldn’t move on from the idea that there was something going on between Hayden and Cailean. Garrick would have to be blind to miss every sign pointing toward it. Cailean was always hovering around her, and he saw her texting him constantly.

With everything that was going on, he would have thought she’d show up. He hadn’t officially broken up with her, and that would be a great time for her to come in with some romantic gesture. He truly hoped that the whole camping trip was a ruse, and that she was planning something big. He knew she wasn’t, though. She had someone else. He’d always known she was out of his league, but he couldn’t say it didn’t hurt more that it was Cailean who stole her from him.

He heard a knock on his door and his heart leapt. Maybe she really did have some semblance of a romantic side, and she was showing up and surprising him. He opened the door and beamed.

At Tyler.

“Hello, Garrick Elliott,” Tyler greeted.

“I was not expecting you to show up,” Garrick muttered, trying not to sound too disappointed. He invited Tyler in, and the two of them sat on the couch. Since Kayla had broken up with Tyler, he and Garrick had hung out practically every day. Tyler knew it would be a particularly difficult day for Garrick, but he also knew Garrick well enough to know the best thing for him was probably to be left alone. Nonetheless, Garrick couldn’t hold it against his friend – he was just trying to do his best.

Garrick was constantly trying to convince Tyler to stop being friends with Kayla. She was already talking about some cute boy in her class, and Tyler was the friend she talked to about it. Tyler claimed he was just glad to have her in his life. Garrick wondered if he could ever feel that way about Hayden. Could he listen to her talk about Cailean after he confronted her? He didn’t think he had that capacity in him. It was almost admirable to see the loyalty in his friend, but it was mostly just painful.
