HOLLY

”Andrea…” I didn’t know who the bitch was, but her name already made me angry. “Who’s Andrea?”

“Our fourth roommate,” Sayid offered. “And…” His eyes shifted expectantly to Brody.

“And my ex-girlfriend,” Brody admitted.

I watched as he walked the tiny bedroom, picking up pieces of things and dropping them again. She’d broken furniture, punched holes in walls. Shattered anything that could be shattered. In a way, I almost admired her commitment.

“You still live with your ex girlfriend?” I asked.

Brody nodded. My heart sank.

“When exactly did you break up?”

I wasn’t sure I wanted the answer to that question. It had happened before; guys picking me up during the tail end of a bad relationship. Even dating me while they were still technically dating their “ex” girlfriends, which was a lie of course, because they still hadn’t let go of—

“Nine months ago,” Brody answered solidly. “Sometime before the summer.”

Whew.

“And she’s still this angry?” I asked incredulously. My eyes narrowed. “Were you still, umm…”

Brody turned over his pillow bitterly. It was slashed too. “Was I still what?”

“Hooking up with her?”

The words left my mouth reluctantly. As painful as it was, I had to know.

“Shit no,” Brody spat.

“Because maybe, you know, if you were leading her on…” I continued. “Gave her reason to think you two might get back together…”

It was another thing guys did: see you after the breakup. Sleep with you after the breakup, when you were lonely and vulnerable and looking for any reason to get your foot back in the door of your past relationship.

“Not even a little bit,” Brody said.

“He’s telling the truth,” Sayid offered, coming to his roommate’s defense. “Brody’s been avoiding her like the plague. We’ve all been, really, but he’ll basically leave the apartment whenever she comes home.”

The look of pure disgust on Brody’s face told me it was the truth. I began helping him pick up his room.

“Ask Darren if you need to,” Sayid added. “He’ll vouch.”

We grabbed the garbage, and the three of us went about righting whatever we could. Sayid explained how he and their third roommate had come home earlier to find Andrea going berserk, breaking his room apart. It took the two of them to drag her out, but by then the damage had mostly been done.

“She saw the… photo,” Sayid said meekly. “And she went nuts.”

I followed his gaze, to where a dozen pieces of a photograph lay shredded next to a broken glass frame. Even torn to shreds I recognized it: the photo of Brody and I together, on our first date.

“You put up that picture of us?” I asked, my heart melting a little. “And this is what happened?”

Brody nodded.

“Then call the police,” I said, suddenly more pissed than ever. “Get her arrested, or at least thrown out of here.”

“No,” he shook his head glumly. “No, I’m not calling the police.”

“This is bullshit, Brody,” I told him. “An ex-girlfriend from nine months ago? You don’t need to stand for this.”

“How did she get in here?” Brody asked his roommate. “What made her break into my bedroom, anyway?”

“I don’t know man, she’s psycho.
