Chapter 9:

Prom is tonight. I texted Ty three times after the track meet yesterday with no replies. I roll over and check my phone again. Nothing. I don’t know what to do. While half the girls in town are getting manicures and pedicures or getting fancy updos or blowouts, I don’t even know if it’s worth it to get in the shower. He’s not coming. I know it. Why should he? Any guy that lied to me like I lied to him wouldn’t get a callback, either.

I decide to text Mom.

“Hi.”

“Hello, Macy. How are you?” she asks. She always answers right away. I imagine she has her phone turned up at all times waiting to hear from me. Though my leaving was done with the best intentions, my life here in Woodson, no, the people here have made me reconsider my decisions like I never have before.

“I’m sorry.”

“Me, too.”

“For what?”

“For making you feel like you had to leave.”

“Mom! You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Miss u.”

“Miss u 2 Mom. Bye for now.”

“Bye, honey.” I click off my phone. I really screwed up. I turn on my laptop to research therapists in the area. I don’t know the first thing about counseling. Do you call the first one on some master list for the county? Maybe there are online reviews. I am reading the reviews for the “C” names when I hear the doorbell. Nobody visits me here. I peek out the blinds. No one is there. Instead, I find a paper bag from Infusco. I look inside. It’s a cinnamon sugar donut with a note.

Everybody’s got secrets. Pick you up at 8:00. Be here.

Ty
