“Hey, Jenn.” I couldn’t bring myself to repeat the five minutes of hope I’d given the girl earlier this afternoon.

“I take it you didn’t sleep well when you got home?”

“Not at all. I kind of got into it with my mom when I got there.”

“I see.” Her voice was strained, and she looked tired. “Was it about her?”

I looked at Jenn then, because I was nothing if not honest with people. “It was, but not in the way you may be thinking.”

“Well, in what way then?” Yeah, she was pissed and getting snippy with me. I couldn’t blame her. Hell, I was tired of myself running hot and cold all the time too. I couldn’t imagine putting up with me if I didn’t have to.

Her blue eyes were somewhat shiny, and I hoped she didn’t cry on me. “She is trying to convince me that I’ll be able to let go easier if I track Sasha down and get some closure about her moving on. Mom thinks it’s the unfinished stuff and the unknown that won’t let me close that door.” I scrubbed my hands down the sides of my face before shifting my attention back to Jenn. She was silently contemplating my words. “I’m thinking maybe she’s got a point.”

For a split second, Jenn looked panicked. Not that I blamed her for the worry that I might actually end up back with Sasha though. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she told me.

“Do you want to elaborate on that?” For some reason it ticked me off that this girl, who obviously wanted more from me, wouldn’t want me to have the closure I need with my ex-girlfriend.

“Well, you were already starting to move forward. You said yourself people have told you she’s with someone else now. Why would you do that to either of you? She must be happy, even if you’re not.” Jenn glanced down at the fingers she was twisting up in her lap. “I just think if I were her, it would cause undue strain to have my ex show up. Especially if it was an ex-boyfriend who just ran off without any explanation, leaving me high and dry, or whatever it was you did that forced her to move on.”

“I told you, my roommate delivered a message about what was going down.”

“Yeah, well, if he actually did that, she still chose to move on without you while you were going through that. And if he didn’t deliver that message, she moved on thinking the worst of you. So, one way disturbs her peaceful existence and the other one just adds more pain to the situation. I think, for the both of you, you need to just let her go.”

I sighed audibly knowing she was making a whole lot of sense. Jason wasn’t the only one who told me she moved on. Hell, even Andy had mentioned that she had been torn up over me, but that she was always with someone new now. If I showed up in her life at this point, it would honestly be for purely selfish reasons.
