By Wednesday, my life is unraveling at all four corners. Sunday’s family dinner at Henry’s turned out to be a huge shouting match. Okay, they shouted with their mouths, and I shouted with my eyes. Nobody wanted to listen about Brooks, but mostly because I defended my ex-boss—a man who was caught bare-handed, cupping my bare boob at a charity function, only adding to the list of atrocities he’s committed, including making fun of my clothes, my mother, and making me cry in the bathroom.

Don’t get me wrong. If one of my sisters told me her boss had said and done those things, I can’t claim I’d be sympathetic. Regardless, I hadn’t been trying to defend him because I am beyond heartbroken to find out he has a secret family. Why the hell wouldn’t he just say the truth? However, my only intent Sunday had been to explain to my family that the fundraiser was a big misunderstanding. The real reason to hate the guy is far bigger, but no one would let me get a word in, and then I just got upset, so I left.

Monday, work was a cluster because everyone was talking about Brooks being fired and boobgate with some mystery girl, who most assumed was me. Abi could do nothing to get me out of the bathroom, but I couldn’t care less about that or Brooks being fired now. I was wrapped up in the image of him holding that sweet little girl and his wife—girlfriend—whatever. My anger, hurt, and disappointment came from one thing and one thing only: I believed in him, even if for a brief moment. But I should have believed him, not in him, because he warned me about the type of man he is. He just didn’t give the details.

Tuesday was worse than Monday in that my anger turned into a mental rehash of every tiny detail since I met the man, including that kiss. Now I can’t get the feel of Brooks off my lips. Their softness, their warmth, the lust penetrating my skin. How could he kiss me like that if he’s in love with someone else? Then the university called and said my approval had come through. I could finally take my tests and put this whole chapter behind me. The only downside is that I have to come today and test for all five classes. Ten hours straight, starting at seven a.m. My counselor told me to contest the short notice, but I’m ready to move the fuck on with all of it. The kidnapping, the legal battle, my internship, and Brooks.

Which leaves me here on a Wednesday evening, sitting in an empty classroom, rereading the biggest piece of crap ever written about revolutionaries in Latin America for my world history class: In conclusion, they fought. They fought hard. They wanted equality. They also wanted the power for themselves. They wanted to be the masters of their universe, and what the hell am I writing?

Ugh! I start erasing and write down some PC crap about man’s inherent right to freedom.
