“Hello?” I answer the phone as I see Chelle’s name spread across my screen.

“Hey.”

“Why are you whispering?” I laugh as I begin unpacking.

“I don’t know,” her voice returns to her normal volume. “Are you back?”

“Yeah. I got in about an hour ago.” And since I walked into my apartment, I paced aimlessly, taking in the feeling this place fills me with.

“Oh, good. Listen, I gotta tell you something but it’s not easy.” My stomach drops. The last time someone used similar words, it was the doctor confirming I had lost the baby.

“Okay…” I drag out.

“I went out during spring break with a few friends. I saw Justin at a bar,” she pauses.

“And?”

“He was with someone.”

“Okay? We’re not together. Probably best that he was with someone else, so he stops bothering me.” I sit on the bed, wondering why Chelle is so worried about telling me this.

“A friend of mine recognized the woman he was with, a model or something, and said that was her boyfriend. Apparently, they’ve been together for a few months.”

My eyebrows furrow.

“Sorry. I thought you’d want to know. Maybe it was a stupid idea. I looked up the model’s Instagram and my friend was right. She has pictures of her and Justin sprinkled throughout.”

“That son of a bitch,” I breathe out. “And he was telling me to move in with him? Fucker,” I groan.

“I know. I never did like him, but this is low. You broke up with him at the best time.”

“Yeah.” I nod although she can’t see me.

“What’s the model’s name?” I ask. I need to see for myself. I may not be in love with Justin, or even in like anymore, but that kind of betrayal hurts.

“Catia Palmer.”

“Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me? He represents her.”

“Well, looks like their relationship is more than business.”

“Thanks for letting me know, Chelle. He contacted me once while I was away, and I ignored it. Next time I’m answerin’ and givin’ him a piece of my mind.”

Chelle giggles in my ear and I look at the screen as if it would show me what is so funny. “What are you laughin’ at?”

“Girl, you’re accent gets super thick when you’re pissed. It’s so cute. You gotta get angrier more often and call me so I can hear your southern drawl.”

I smile. “You’re a loser. Seriously, thanks for telling me.”

“Anytime. How was Alabama? Did you see your real lover boy?” I roll my eyes, but the image of my lover boy is prevalent in my mind.

“Yeah.”

“What? I was just kidding! I thought he lived in Nashville.” Her voice raises a few beats.

“He does but was in town helping his dad on the ranch.”

“Coincidence? I think not. Tell me everything.” The excitement in her voice makes me giggle.

“Nothing to tell.”

“Liar. I hear it in your voice. Something happened,” she accuses.

“In my voice?”

“Uh-huh… you sound happier.”

I lean back against my headboard. I feel happier. “I think I want to move back once this year is up. I won’t have Teach with Heart holding me here anymore, and I miss home.
