When I wake up the next morning, I reach my arm across my bed for Hayden, but I’m alone.

Sitting up, I look around my room for him.

“Hayden?” I call out, hoping he’s just run off to the bathroom and I didn’t dream the whole night. When he doesn’t answer me, I throw my blankets off and step out of bed to search for him.

I push into the bathroom, even though the room is dark, and to no surprise, it’s empty. Making my way out through the living room, I find that the clothes he shed in there are gone, and my head starts to spin.

He isn’t here – that’s obvious. Was he ever? Did I imagine the entire thing? Or did he just run off so he didn’t have to stay true to all the sweet words he whispered to me in the dark last night?

I scoff out loud, then walk to the kitchen.

Of course he ran off. He stayed true to the person I knew he was when we first met – a fuckboy. Why would I have been convinced any different, when the first time I met him, he was hooking up with someone in the back room of Amethyst?

My gut doesn’t lie, and my gut said he was trouble.

I’m an idiot for thinking any differently.

I throw the kitchen cabinet open, grabbing the jar of coffee grounds and slamming it down on the counter. I go through the steps of making coffee in the same aggressive way, slamming everything around and making a mess. When the machine is dripping into the coffee pot, I storm back to the bathroom and take a shower.

Under the burning spray of water, I wash my body in a fit of rage. I’m so angry with myself that it feels as if I blink and I’m done, my hair shampooed and conditioned, my body scrubbed and my face clean. I stand under the hot spray for a minute, letting the water rush over me to see if it will calm me at all.

It doesn’t, so by the time I’m stepping out onto the bathmat, I’m still annoyed as a motherfucker.

The sun is rising outside my window when I get back into my bedroom. I grab my phone to check how much time I have until I need to be at work.

It’s already 6, so I ignore the few notifications I have and toss my phone back to the table. After I get dressed quickly, I run to the kitchen to make my coffee, and then head to the bathroom to get ready.

By 6:30, my hair and makeup are done, and I’m pouring my third cup of coffee into a travel mug and grabbing my purse to leave.

It isn’t until I’m at the first intersection with a red light that I check my phone again.

There’s a text message from Hayden, so I hit that notification first.
