Chapter 15

Savannah

I lay on my bed and stared at the white ceiling above me. I wanted to cry, but I knew if I gave in to my tears, I was never going to be able to make them stop.

I replayed the night in my head over and over, and each time, my heart broke a little bit more.

Seth left the bar with Callie. As much as I wanted it not to bother me, it did. The truth was I was completely heartbroken that he had.

I knew I had no right to be upset. Seth was a free agent. He and I could never work, so why shouldn’t he want to move on. I just didn’t know why things had to be so complicated.

Jared! I thought to myself miserably as I remembered the conversation that I had with him the night before. God my life is a complete mess.

The whole night had been a disaster if I was honest.

When I walked into the bar and saw Seth standing there, staring straight at me, I knew that the night was going to be so much harder than I thought it was, which was why I’d called in sick the week before. If I was honest, I had considered calling in sick again last night too, but I knew I would have to face Seth sooner rather than later.

The minute I stepped through the door, my eyes met his, and I knew he had been waiting for me. I hesitated briefly, knowing that me being there was probably a bad idea. But there was nothing I could do about it now. So, I smiled as I made my way up to the bar, trying to act as normal as I possibly could.

“Hey,” I said trying to sound natural, but failing miserably. “You’re working tonight.”

“Yep,” he replied with a casual tone, but I could tell he was as nervous as me. “Can I get you something to drink?”

Before I could reply, Meggie returned to the bar, giving me a dirty look, before she turned her attention back to Seth.

I didn’t know why I disliked this girl so much, or why she disliked me, but right at that moment, she was the last thing I needed.

The second she started flirting with Seth, I just wanted to slap her. But I didn’t. Instead, I made my excuses and headed to backstage to the rest of the band.

“Hey, Sav,” Andy said, the moment he saw me walking through the door. “We missed you last week.”

“I’m sorry I let you guys down.” I replied, feeling shitty for letting down my real friends because my life was such a train wreck.

“Hey,” Andy said, his smile fading a little, when he saw the look in my eyes. “Are you okay, Sav? What’s happened?”

“Nothing that matters” I replied, shaking my head quickly, refusing to give into the tears that were now burning my eyes.

“Has something happened?” Andy pushed in a quiet voice so the rest of the band couldn’t hear him. “Is this about Jared?”

“Jared and I broke up,” I replied, wishing he would just let it go.
