The rays of dawn creep though his window as I climb out of bed. I look over at Morgan, snoring loud enough to block out the sounds of the TV. The news is on and in the lower left hand corner—Crap! When I called to say goodnight to Ben, I told Tryst I’d pick him up by eight.

Morgan’s exhausted. It would be a shame to wake him, but I don’t want to skip out like I did before. He might think I regret everything we did.

Maybe leave a note?

After I dress, I search the top of the dresser for a pen and something to write on. Nothing’s up there besides his Xbox and TV. Hum... Nightstand. There has to be something in the top drawer. After all, he was writing late at night at the cabin, so maybe he does the same here. I open the drawer to have a look and my heart drops.

A bag of pot is lying on top of loose cigars.

Morgan’s a pothead? How in the hell did I miss that?

No.

NO.

NO!

This can’t be happening. I can’t be with another druggie. I swipe the bag. He fucking lied to me.

I slam the drawer so loud Morgan shoots up in bed. His eyes snap open and confusion crosses his face. He must see the anger I’m throwing off because he looks a little scared. I whip the bag at his face. I hope he chokes on it.

"You’re a fucking druggie. And you fucking lied to me!"

He scrambles to his feet. The sheet tangles itself around his legs and he starts to go down, but catches himself. "Shay, I can explain."

Yeah, I bet he can. Gary had tons of explanations for his drug use. And I’m sick of hearing them. "Don’t ever call me again." I storm out of his room.

Rage boils up from old wounds that are cracked open. My body is shaking with fury as I collect my coat. I can hear him stumbling around upstairs. As I get to his front door, his footsteps come pounding down the stairs. "Shay, please, wait!"

Fuck that. I’m gone.
