Chapter 19

Carrie

Listening to some of my patient’s problems throughout the week really helped to put mine into perspective. My boyfriend may have cheated on me, but at least I wasn’t battling an addiction or dealing with an eating disorder. I wasn’t grieving over the loss of a loved one or battling with the scars of a broken childhood. So, all in all, I was lucky. I had a great support system in my family, and deep down inside, I wondered if Brett cheating on me was for the best. I finally found the strength to text him back, asking him to please stop texting and calling me and that I would be in touch if and when I was ever ready to talk to him. I hadn’t talked to Jason since the night at the bar. I hated that I was avoiding him just because I felt that I couldn’t tell him the truth. I had thought about it all week; the look on his face when I told him that he deserved better than Ashley. I was hoping that maybe he would’ve picked up on what I was trying to get through to him, but how could he? He had no clue that Ashley was seeing one of the counselors at my work and even if he did, the last thing he’d expect me to do was to stoop so low and peek into someone’s file. I tried to get it out of my mind, but I felt like I was betraying him with each day that passed and each day that he was still with that cheating bitch.

After a very long week of work, I was thankful that the weekend was here again. I was looking forward to spending my Friday night hanging out with Gia and her new man. I was running around my apartment, trying to find my other earring just as the doorbell rang. I scanned the clock on the microwave as I whizzed by the kitchen to grab the front door. My stomach dropped when I looked through the peephole and saw Jason standing on the other side.

“Hey.” I managed a smile as I flung the door open and let him in.

“Bad time?” he asked as he took a step in.

“Oh, no. I was just headed to the train station. I’m hanging with Gia tonight.”

He nodded and stared down at me. “Can I just talk to you for a sec?”

“Yeah, sure.” I led him over to the couch.

“Carrie, Ashley and I broke up.” He blurted out.

I was hoping that I heard him right because if so, I had just dodged a major bullet. The word that I was trying to get out was ‘sorry’ but I just couldn’t get it to roll off my tongue because I wasn’t sorry. I was happy. Happy that Jason would be spared knowing the truth about what that bitch was doing behind his back and happy that I wouldn’t violate my work ethic to tell him, and most of all happy that he was no longer with her.
