Today, I’m making him drive me back to my house so I can get some things, but it’s really so I can get my mobility back. The truth is that Alex is coming over to my house tonight. I’m not sure why I said yes when he called and asked to come over, but I did.

But Alex coming over isn’t exactly the reason I want to go back home either. Wyatt and I haven’t had a day apart since we met, and I need to get my bearings back.

My life seems to have changed drastically overnight, and I feel as if I need to get back to some normalcy. I’ve been so lost in Wyatt the past week, I almost forgot who I am. I need to sort out all the heightened emotions that are swirling around in my head.

I’ve been eating my weight in whatever I can find in Wyatt’s fridge, hoping it will quell my anxiety and feelings of uncertainty. His cooler is filled with meats: steak tips just waiting to be marinated, burger patties, and golden chicken breasts.

When I arrive home, my own fridge is entirely empty. Even though Alex is coming by later, I don’t see any reason to fill it. If we’re hungry, we can always go out or order a pizza.

“I’ll see you tonight?” Wyatt asks, looking longingly at me.

“Yes,” I say. “But try not to wait up—I’ll be back later.”

I can tell he’s trying to figure out what I’m doing, but he doesn’t ask. The best part about Wyatt is his aversion to prying. It doesn’t make me feel completely smothered by him, and like I want to run away from him entirely.

“Alright,” he finally says, kissing me softly. “But I’m going to stop by Jessica’s later, just to have a drink and talk about some things.”

“Well, good luck with that,” I hear myself saying.

I don’t know why I hate Jessica as much as I do. Maybe it’s because I haven’t gotten a chance to know her yet.

“I promise if you hang out with her, you’ll learn to love her,” Wyatt says, cupping my face in his hands. I feel the flames of passion broiling in my chest. Is it possible to be in love with two people at the same time?

Wait… am I still in love with Alex? Oh, fuck, I’m confused.

“Okay,” I say. “I’ll try.”

My phone buzzes in my pocket; I glance at it briefly and see that it’s Alex, telling me something came up, and he can’t hang out after all. With that, I switch gears completely, now saying, “Why don’t I come with you?”

“I thought you wanted to hang out at your place?” Wyatt asks.

“I just wanted to pick up a few things,” I say. In that moment, I tell myself it’s what I wanted to do all along, but am I fooling myself?

Wyatt smiles, not even the slightest hint of skepticism present on his face. “Alright,” he says. “I’ll text you when I’m ready to go over there, and you can meet me.
