NOW – PENELOPE

He’s not home.

I know that is none of my concern. I know it is absolutely none of my business. But when I woke up this morning and his room was untouched, my mind went a million places, and I instantly felt shame. Shame because it isn’t my business to know where he’s going, or what he’s doing. It has absolutely nothing to do with me, at all.

He’s made it clear that we can only be friends, because of his feelings for both Chantelle and me.

So my obsessing over the fact that he isn’t here makes me feel pathetic. The ache in my heart makes me feel pathetic. The very thought that he could be with another woman makes me feel jealous and, therefore, pathetic.

How did I let myself get into this mess?

I pull out my phone and glance down to see a message from him, and my stupid heart flutters to life. It was sent last night, it must have been after I went to sleep. I click into it quickly, and read it.

Boston – I won’t be home tonight. Hope everything is okay. If you need anything, anything at all. Call me.

I exhale. If he was with another woman, he wouldn’t ask me to call him, right?

Right?

Why is this making me feel so...insecure?

I decide to call him, because I’m not a teenaged girl anymore and I need to start acting less like one. We’re friends. I’m Cassie’s carer. That’s it. I can’t let all these emotions cloud my thoughts, it’s not helping. Not Boston. Not me. Not anyone.

Boston answers on the fourth ring, and his voice is groggy. I know I’ve just woken him up, which makes me feel even worse.

“Hey,” he murmurs, and his voice sends shivers up my spine.

That’s the voice you want to wake up to for the rest of your life. That voice is heavenly.

“Morning,” I say softly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d still be asleep.”

“All good. Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything is okay here. I just got your message and was checking in. I didn’t see it last night.”

“Yeah,” he murmurs, and I can hear the sounds of him shuffling about. “Just wanted you to know I wouldn’t be home so you didn’t worry. Had to stay at Chantelle’s for the night.”

Those words hit me like a blow to the chest. Harder than I expected. I knew I cared, but in this moment, I realize that I’m also incredibly jealous, and I hate that. What I hate more, is that I can’t stop my thoughts from going wild. From going to him and Chantelle making love while I’m here looking like an idiot.

And then, stupid me, stupid idiot me, lets my mouth go before my brain kicks in and I process the onslaught of emotions I’m feeling right now. If I stopped, took a deep breath, and calmed myself down, it wouldn’t happen.

But I don’t do that.

Like the idiot I am.

“Right,” I whisper. “So I’m not allowed to do anything with you, but you stay at her house.
