Chapter seventeen

Madison

There he was, standing in the kitchen, his back up against the counter with one of the most gorgeous girls I’ve ever seen pushed up against him. She’s a little shorter than me, with golden blonde hair, perfectly styled in big bouncy curls down her back. Of course she has perfectly perky, not too big and not too small boobs and teeth so white they must be fake. Her makeup looks professionally done, but I’m sure she’s just one of those girls who magically knows how to apply it all like she’s a pro. Even her outfit is cool; a pair of tight black leather pants with a white corset and sky high heels.

My heart sinks all the way to my stomach. I should have known another girl was the reason he ran out of the library like the place was on fire. He has a girlfriend. I shouldn’t be surprised and I have no claim to Henry. But why is there such a pit in my stomach seeing him so close to another girl? Why am I seething with jealousy right now?

I avert my eyes as quickly as I can manage, fearing he’ll see the hurt in them. These feelings I’m having, they’re not owed any merit. It was just one car ride, a walk through town, an afternoon laying in the grass, and one kiss. Only four tiny interactions–but one earth shattering kiss. In my mind they’re huge though, cavernous and wide, with hidden tunnels full of treasures. To Henry, they’re probably tiny blips. He doesn’t owe me anything, and he’s definitely free to date whoever he wants. Even if it makes me irrationally jealous.

I’m relieved when Taylor takes my hand and leads me outside. She takes us to a table filled with alcohol, mixers and cups. She pours vodka into two cups and tops them off with cranberry and orange juice before handing me one with a sympathetic smile.

“So, that would be Jackie,” Taylor tells me as we find some chairs to sit in by the pool.

“Who?” I ask, staring out at the pool, pretending to be clueless about what she’s talking about.

The pool is huge, with a diving board and a rock waterfall. A built in jacuzzi off to one side where I’m pretty sure people are currently having sex. I divert my attention back to my cup.

“Madison, we’ve been living together for months now. You’re not fooling me. I saw the way your face fell when you saw Henry.”

I sigh and look at her now, and she can definitely see the pain in my eyes. What she doesn’t know is that it’s not just about Henry. I’m still trying to process those texts from my mom.

“Awe Madison. I mean, I know Henry is hot as shit, but you had one interaction with him. What gives?”

“Taylor, I know. Trust me, I know this is crazy. Truly, I don’t know why, but, I–there's just something about him. I can’t explain it.”

I don’t tell Taylor about the times we’ve spent together or how I’ve been thinking about Henry nonstop since I met him.
