Chapter 13

I ended up moving in with Wes’s sister that day. She claimed to need help paying the rent anyway since her last roommate left her in the lurch. When I asked why she didn’t ask Wes for help, she asked me why I didn’t ask my husband to let me stay with him. Point taken.

It had been a little over a week since the last time Tucker and I had spoken. I knew, from the ridiculous amount of press he had received since coming back from Finland, that he had stayed out of the limelight. The woman who took footage of me throwing his phone and apologizing to it, posted her video and it went viral quickly. While I was angry that she’d done it, at least she redeemed herself somewhat with the caption she used. “Men – listen up, because too many of you need to hear this. Saying ‘I’m sorry’ doesn’t fix what you broke! It just makes you feel better about that awful thing you did. The woman (or man) who took whatever abuse you lobbed at them (actual abuse, infidelity, or whatever) still has to deal with the fallout and the pain.”

At least she had gotten the point of my little demonstration. Someone had tagged all of Tucker’s social media accounts in the comments, but I couldn’t be sure if he actually saw it. Honestly, I didn’t much care anymore. Any possibilities that our marriage might have led to, were all wiped away with his actions. I no longer wanted to be a part of the fake relationship we were supposed to have. He obviously felt the same way since he hadn’t bothered to contact me at all.

I was two weeks away from the end of my college career, thirty thousand words – give or take – away from finishing my very first manuscript, and finally settled into the apartment I was now sharing with Luna, my new best friend. Well, my only friend still, other than my sister, but semantics didn’t matter in that regard.

Luna worked two jobs. In the mornings, she worked a four-hour shift at the coffee house beneath our apartment. It was a cute, cozy space and I enjoyed going there to soak up the atmosphere, when I had time. Her evening job was as a bartender at a club in the heart of Atlanta. I hated the commute she had to make, but as she said, she refused to live in the city, but loved the money she could make there. So, as long as she was cool with it, who was I to point out that there were probably better options? She only worked the night shifts in Atlanta on the weekends, and truth be told, she made enough from three nights a week there to pay all her bills, so I kind of didn’t blame her.

Tonight, she had been called in to the nightclub she worked for because they were short-staffed and had some big event going on.
