Chapter 18

I spent the next day with my two best friends. It was a welcomed distraction from thinking about Loyal or the mess that I had waiting whenever I decided to actually talk to him. As the day went on I found it hard to hide my feelings. I thought not talking to him would be the worst, but knowing that my phone hadn’t rung all day was even worse. Not only did he hurt me but he hadn’t tried to call or text me to give me a reason as to why he did.

The whipped cream in my coffee had completely melted into my cup. I watched as the remaining white color created its own art against the light brown coffee. I smiled. I loved finding art in the simple things of life.

“I was offered Australia.”

Kevin’s voice brought me out of my trance. He walked back to the table putting his phone down before sitting down.

“That’s great, Kev.” I smiled. I noticed he wasn’t smiling back. “What’s wrong?”

“I think I might need to stay around a little longer.” Kevin stared at his phone screen.

I looked at Kevin and Bianca. Their serious faces let me know exactly why he was considering staying. I realized the whole day had gone by and Bianca hadn’t mentioned her upcoming wedding at all. My friends were in protective mode.

“Take the job, Kevin. I will be just fine.” I put my hand on top of his hand.

“I could really use the break.”

“No, Kevin, you have wanted Australia for as long as I can remember and a little drama isn’t going to keep you away from bringing me back a shot glass, boomerang, and koala bear. I will be fine, guys. In fact”—I stood up and motioned for the waitress to bring the check—“I am feeling really good about everything. So I fell for the wrong person, it happens. If anything, I know how to fall and get back up. And I have a hefty little check coming my way that means I can get back up in style.”

The impossible happened: I actually convinced my two overprotective friends that I was okay. But in truth I wasn’t okay. I was hurting more than any breakup I’d had before. I felt like I had lost one of my closest friends. There was a constant debate going on in my head. As much as I wanted to hear from him, a big piece of me didn’t.
