“Can you come over so we can talk?” I ask Sander over the phone.

“Yeah baby, I’ve been wanting to see you for a few days now,” his deep voice says.

Oh so we are going to pretend everything is just peachy, that he hasn’t talked to me and it’s now Wednesday? “Alright well I’ll be here this evening after classes; around 5:00?”

“Sure. I’ll see you then. You mad baby?” Is he really asking me this? Does he not remember nearly a week ago when his fingers were wrapped around my neck? Probably not.

“Sander just come over and we’ll talk then, okay?”

He lets out a breath. “Fine but it’s not a big deal; it was just some pot.”

I nearly growl, “Again, I’ll talk to you at five.”

Classes dragged today. Lauren has been distant since Sunday at the bar. I didn’t really want to talk to her either. I hadn’t heard a word from Colton or Clarissa. I missed their text messages. Colton was on my mind constantly, his words echoing in my mind over and over again like a song on repeat, naïve. Was I being naïve? Just because Steph hadn’t been a good friend to Colton’s mom didn’t mean Lauren wouldn’t be a good friend to me. That didn’t seem like a fair judgment to make. That would be like me telling Colton he was just like his father. I assume he wouldn’t like that, but now that I really sit and think about, he kind of is like his father. If what Clarissa said is true, then Colton doesn’t want a relationship. He wants to sleep with women. It’s easy and less messy. Isn’t that what his dad did? Or does? He just sleeps with a woman and then moves on to the next one?

Why is everyone pointing their fingers at everyone else except at themselves? I should have known Clarissa would tell Colton about Lauren running off and disbelieving what I told her about Sander. For some reason I still feel betrayed. I had spoken to her in confidence. I just needed to vent to her without worrying about someone judging me or judging Lauren; instead it blew up in my face.

And Colton… I was really starting to think this friendship could work—that we could be best friends like Clarissa said. Yet he so easily throws me aside because he doesn’t like that I’m friends with someone from his past? Am I supposed to choose between him and Lauren? I don’t want to be forced into doing that, but both seem to think I can’t be a friend with the other. Being friends with both would be tough to do because Lauren won’t be able to stop talking bad about Colton, and Colton would probably do the same about Lauren.

Then, my mind wanders to Sander and how to deal with him tonight. How do I find the right words to describe the hurt he caused me that horrible night, the words to get through to my Sander? How do
