Jessie: You're on my mind. I miss you. You okay?

Me: Just got my heart broken, but other than that...I'm good.

Jessie: By Seth?

Me: No, a guy out here who's my dream guy.

The phone rang, which scared the hell out of me. I answered it and sat back, knowing Jessie would want details.

"What the hell? I told you that you were going to meet him. I'm psychic. I knew it!" Her voice was full of excitement, which was a little odd after my confession.

"Yeah, you're right. He's out here, and he's a total ass."

"Well, that part’s not good. I thought maybe it was Seth."

"No. We broke up when I left. Besides, I think he's already moved on. He's not texting at all anymore, which is good. He can be someone else's problem."

"So, about that..." Jessie stopped, and realization rolled over me.

She was Seth's someone. That's why she kept asking about him and nudging me toward finding someone else.

Right. When it rains it pours.

I hung up without another word and turned my phone on silent. Surely, my dad had a liquor cabinet. If not, I could call a cab and head back down to the club. The cute bartender would serve me beer and peanuts all night, no doubt.

Numbness settled over the center of me, and I walked into the house and slammed the door behind me.

"Chloe?" My father's voice scared me, and I jumped.

"Dad?" I pulled myself together and walked into the kitchen to find him standing over a bottle of rum.

"Yeah. I canceled the trip. Sorry if you'd planned for a wild party. Consider it ruined." He gave me a smile.

I sat down at the bar across from him and nodded at the bottle. "Got an extra glass?"

"You've been crying...why?" He got out the glass and sat it in front of me.

"Where do I start?" I sniffled and wiped my nose with the back of my hand.

"From the beginning?" He poured me a drink and filled his back up. "Tell me all about it."

"Let's see...my best friend back at home is dating my ex-boyfriend. Mind you, we just broke up the day I came here. I assume they were sleeping together before now. Things happened too fast for something to not have been up." I took a drink as my father nodded.

"Yes. I've had that done to me, and I've done it to a few friends. People are dicks. It's a common trait among most of us." He took a drink, too.

"Right. I'm scared shitless that after all the time and energy that I've put into my degree that I'll end up with nothing, being nothing." I took another drink. "I don't want to let you down, but I don't want to let me down, either."

"I don't see that future at all for you, but I understand your fears. I've had them for my own life."

"When you were a kid?"

"No. When your mother died. I wasn't sure where to go from there, but I figured it out. You will, too." He reached over and touched my cheek.
