Chapter Seventeen

* * *

“Fucking crazy-ass females.” Garrett slammed his phone against his thigh.

“What’s wrong?” Jared asked. They were still in the studio, trying to finish up the song they were working on. Everyone else had left for the night. Out of the entire group, he and Jared were the most dedicated and they all knew it.

“Did you catch the end of that?”

“Kind of, I tried to give you your privacy, but I couldn’t help but hear. You did have her on FaceTime.”

“Was I harsh?” he asked, needing to feel justification for his feelings, and if anyone could give it to him straight, it was Jared.

“You’re always harsh when you care. That’s the thing, you have no filter, and sometimes that’s hard for people to take. Especially when people aren’t used to that side of you. Even though she’s your wife, she’s not used to that side of you. With her, you still have to watch yourself.”

There were some things he couldn’t let go, and he knew that about himself. Her seriously questioning whether he missed her or not was one of those things. It wasn’t like they were in a contest over who missed each other the most, but his feelings still mattered. “I’m sick of her acting like I don’t give a shit.”

“Do you wonder if that’s a mechanism? Ever?” Jared asked quietly.

“No, and I really don’t give a fuck. If she can’t figure out that I give a shit after everything we’ve been through, then what am I fighting so hard for?”

“I want you to hear me out.”

Garrett wasn’t sure that he wanted to do that. Jared was the king at making excuses, and Garrett was more than sure he could do it for Hannah too. What he wanted to do more than anything in this moment was to shut down and not give a fuck. It didn’t hurt when he didn’t give a fuck.

“I’m going to take you not saying anything as it being okay for me to speak. As someone who has a lot of the same personality traits as she does, I can tell you that acting like someone doesn’t care is an easy way of making it not hurt so much. If you believe that someone doesn’t care, then it doesn’t mean anything. Remember all those times I told you that I didn’t have your perfect life, so there was no way you’d understand what I was going through? It made it easier to pretend you didn’t understand.”

“But I’m so damn sick of proving I do understand, that I do miss her.”

“And I’m sure she’s sick of hearing you lose your cool. These are two things that the two of you are going to have to work on. You’re newlyweds who got married months after meeting each other. These are personality quirks. Quirks that you will learn to work around. I’m not saying you should be the one to apologize, but I’m saying that the two of you need to come to some sort
