CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

THE PRESENT

Today was my longest shift. Or maybe it just feels like the longest shift in history because it is the very next day, the very next day after I wrapped my best friend’s raw blood-covered feet. But I carry on and complete my duties. I take care of my animals, scrubbing their cages, feeding them on schedule and training them. Today, I teach the chimps how to express their feeling by signing. Everything is going accordingly. Expect Bobby keeps giving me the finger. I love Bobby, the youngest chimp. And I try not to laugh each time he does it, but I fail. I burst out laughing each and every time. I think that’s why he keeps doing it. I can’t help it. You haven’t lived until a chimp flips you off.

At the end of the day I’m bone tired and irritable. Half of my annoyance is from Josh ignoring my calls and messages. Josh ignores me when he thinks that I want to distance myself from him. The other half is from the horrible sense of me losing at this great thing called life. My life seems to have gone to shit lately. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore, not that I had much clarity in the beginning.

Piper calls me but I miss it because my phone is set on silent. I listen to her voice message. She wants to have coffee with me as soon as possible. Piper says she needs to talk to me about a few things. That’s important. I grimace at my phone. It’s not that I have anything against Piper. She has done nothing to me. Piper’s been kind and respectful towards me. She’s always been nice. I just…okay maybe I lied. Maybe I do have something against Piper. She’s Danny’s fucking ex-wife. I don’t want to have coffee with her. I don’t want to be around her unless I have to, unless it’s necessary.

That may be a young and childish way to act, but I don’t care. My attitude towards both Danny and Piper needs improvement. I have so much resentment inside of me because of Piper and Danny. He’s secretive when it comes to her and the way he protects her gets under my skin. I honestly can’t tolerate it. If Danny would be open about her, then that would be a completely different story. I don’t think I would have much of a problem if he was open about their relationship. But since he’s not, I don’t want to have much to do with either of them. It kills me because I love Danny like I’ve loved no other.

Speaking of Danny, he sends me a quick text.
