"No, seriously." Cale was angry now. "What's the problem? Are you jealous or something? I liked you, you know. But you thought I was just some asshole."

"Whoa," Amy shouted, turning to face him. She knew better than to get riled up with the accusation, but it had made her hot. She seethed at the man who had been her friend. "I asked you back off. You even said you were out of line, don't try to turn this around on me. I haven't done anything to you, once. You're the genius who picked some drunken mess."

"No, I picked you-"

"And I told you no. So you should've backed off, but you shouldn't have jumped into the arms of some slob."

"She's not a slob, she works-"

"I don't care where she works." She steamrolled over everything Cale tried to throw at her. She didn't care that he couldn't get a word in, because he didn't deserve to get a word in. She was pissed, and this felt good. "I don't give a shit about her."

"Well, that's fine." Cale stopped following her. "Because the truth is, Amy, that I don't give a shit about you." He spun on his heels and marched away, leaving Amy in the hall.

"Fine," she shouted at his back, but the words felt hollow. Oh, they had the same push she had been using, but they felt flat to her ears. She wanted to tell him to come back, that she was sorry, but she wasn't. It wasn't fair to her to pretend that she was okay with what had just happened. "This is the way it is," she said to no one. She stood alone in the hall for a time, before she returned to the meeting room for her next task.

Things were not going well for Amy. Or rather, they were, but she found she couldn’t enjoy them. She had gotten promoted to full-time at work, and made more money. Her friends from Carrie Cares invited her out pretty frequently, and she enjoyed her time with them. She enjoyed her work at the organization, and at the coffee shop as well. Still, she felt guilty.

Not about Cale, which is what she expected the initial feelings of guilt were about. No, she had realized after some deep introspection, that she felt guilty about still being at Carrie Cares. She knew she helped people, but if she was being honest with herself, she thought she had gotten what she needed from the place. She had originally joined Carrie Cares to give herself a sense of worth. It had worked, to a degree. She was more confident in herself, had more truer friends, and a wealth of experiences.

Nevertheless, despite all the good she did, she felt she had hit a plateau. Another benefit or canned food drive wouldn't help her improve herself. That's what she wanted, to improve.

That's what she had wanted all along.

She still attended the Carrie Cares meetings, and though she threw herself into it, she knew in her heart she was elsewhere.
