Chapter THIRTEEN

Consider it forgotten.

As if I could forget.

I slept horribly that night.

Was it cheating if I hadn’t kissed him back?

Was it cheating if I hadn’t kissed him back…but part of me wanted to?

That realization slammed into me like a kick to the gut. I wasn’t supposed to feel that way about Caleb. I tried to tell myself I didn’t feel that way about him. I was angry with Noah but I loved him.

The way I felt about Caleb could be described as complicated at best. I adored him for the time he spent with Tyler. I appreciated him for all of the support he’d given me when it came to my mom. I needed him to feel just a little closer to Evan. Caleb invoked a myriad of emotions within me. All of them positive.

But that didn’t mean that I felt anything romantic toward him. I was just confused.

I spotted my phone on the kitchen counter. A quick glanced showed four missed calls and two voicemails from Noah.

As if my morning hadn’t already gotten off to a bad start, I found a bottle of wine in the recycling bin. It was one that hadn’t been there yesterday. I knew. I watched those things. So much for Caleb’s heart to heart with Mom. I had hoped his words would get through to her. It was obvious that they hadn’t.

The sight of it made me want to cry.

Or trudge back up to my room, pull the blankets over my head, and pretend the rest of the world didn’t exist.

I know she hadn’t meant it as a suggestion, but the thought of skipping Understanding Literature was tempting.

I seriously debated it. In fact, I debated so long that when I finally did try to sneak into Understanding Literature, I was five minutes late. Riley winced as I slid into my seat.
