Flynn didn’t call me for the next two days. I didn’t call him.

I was hurt by everything he said to me. The fact he didn’t want to move in with me anymore really stung. It was a really big step for me, and I thought about it for a long time before I agreed. And now he didn’t want me.

Were we even together anymore? I wasn’t sure. Maybe that’s what he meant when he told me not to move in. I’d been dumped before, and that seemed like a break up to me. Couples fight, but they don’t kick you out of their apartment.

I already put in my lease break notice and there was nothing I could do about it. They already rented out the apartment. Now I had nowhere to go. If Flynn screwed me over like that, then we must be over. And that knowledge made me sob over and over.

When I finally controlled my body so I wouldn’t cry for five minutes, I tried to figure out what to do. I needed to find a place to stay. I already sold my big furniture online because I assumed I wouldn’t need it anymore. I made a hasty decision and committed myself to Flynn, and as a result, I lost everything. I didn’t even have a dresser. My apartment was just a room full of clothes, shoes, and garbage.

I put off my arrangements long enough. I needed to find a place to stay, and there was only one person I could turn to. I called him.

“Hey,” Cortland said. “Lunch?”

I tried not to cry, not to lean on him. “Can I stay with you for a while?” The tears fell down my face but they didn’t escape in my voice.

“What? Why?”

“I don’t have anywhere to live…”

His voice changed, becoming serious. ”What happened?”

“Flynn and I broke up. I already put in my notice to leave the apartment, and now I have nowhere to go.”

“He fucked you over like that?” he asked incredulously. “That doesn’t sound like him.”

“Well, he did. So…can I stay with you?” If he said no I was homeless.

“Of course you can,” he said immediately. “But what happened?”

“It’s a long story…”

“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

“Aren’t you at work?”

He hung up.

I put my phone on the ground and leaned against the wall, my knees to my chest. I didn’t even have a couch to sit on. My head fell back against the wall and more tears fell. I was scared to get hurt by Flynn and that’s exactly what happened.

I knew I shouldn’t have had Kyle at my apartment, and I completely understood why Flynn was upset, but I thought breaking up with me was harsh. I didn’t cheat on him. I never would. All Kyle and I did was talk. And when he asked me to be with him again, I told him Flynn was a million times better. I wish I recorded the conversation.

Cortland opened the door then spotted me on the ground, tears stained on my face.
