Kara: don’t be an ass. Sign the papers

A choked laugh rumbled in my chest, and filled the empty room as I read Kara’s message over for the fifth time. Wow, she really had some balls. How did I not see how big of a bitch she was over the years? I was really wondering if she had a heart. If she did it was probably black, just like everything else about her.

I knew laughing wasn’t really appropriate for the whole situation, but I had no fucking clue what I was doing here. Why did I agree to meet her again? No, if I had put it off any longer, who knows what the hell she would have done? She probably would’ve just given up, and moved on.

And then, Ally had been at the one restaurant I never expected them to be at. I figured she would’ve taken her friends to Clammy’s since it was our usual hangout. My friends were there with her, too, so I’m sure I looked like a complete ass showing up with my ex. I couldn’t even look at Ally, my stomach hurt so badly with the guilt of how things appeared.

Kara was in rare form as well, so when I saw Ally weaving towards our table, I cringed, not wanting her to have to deal with Kara. Ally was too good of a person to deal with that shit. I could tell she was drunk just by glancing at her, and she was looking sexy as hell in a tiny black dress that flared at her hips and barely covered that ass of hers.

I wanted to do very bad things to her. Or just get the hell out of there and go somewhere quiet, just as long as I with her, but Kara stunned me into silence and we had to finish what we started. There was no way in hell I was leaving there without getting the full story from her.

I knew Ally’s friends and her brother probably thought I was a jackass for not coming back over with her, but I couldn’t risk Kara taking off on me, or getting pissed that I left her too long. Her mood swings were at an all-time high that night.

Things with Ally and I were a little awkward the next day, to say the least. I invited her over to my place for dinner, and she agreed right away. I was honestly a little worried that she would never talk to me again after the way I treated her. I had been a complete asshole.

I remember every word of the conversation we had when she first showed up. “So, are you and...Kara getting back together?” She swallowed thickly, trying to avoid my eyes, but I could see hers were filled with unshed tears. I would be beating myself up forever about putting those tears in her eyes. I didn’t want to ever see her like that again.

I’m sure she was probably thinking the worst. I
