Chapter 5

Ivy

“No way, Jenny. I’m not going on a double date with you and Cooper. Forget it,” I yell at her. I was up all night crying. My eyes are almost swollen shut at this point. This is what heartache feels like. I literally feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.

“Ivy, I’ve already told him that you would. It’s fine. Get your teacher friend from school to go with you. He’s been asking you out forever.”

I drop my head down into my hands. None of this has worked out the way I thought it would. I thought for sure that I would have spent the whole night in Cooper’s arms. But it didn’t work out that way. I’m a fool. I really am. It kills me, but I have to see him again. Even if it’s only one more night, I can’t imagine never seeing him again.

Finally, I give in. “Okay, I’ll go. But Jenny, we need to have a talk. I want you to move out. I, well, you know how much I like him. The fact that you did this, are doing this, well, it makes me realize exactly how much I mean to you. I’m going to give you a week and then you need to find somewhere else to live,” I tell her frankly.

She looks at me and I can see the wicked look in her eyes. Why have I never noticed this before? She finally nods her head. “Fine, Ivy. I’m sure that I won’t have any problem finding a place to stay now,” she confesses before walking out the door.

Instantly, I imagine her and Cooper living together and I jump up from the couch and run to the trash can. Suddenly, I feel very sick.

Once I feel a little better, I call my friend Matt. He has asked me out a few times, but now we are just friends. He knows how I feel about Cooper. I have to explain to him about how he has to call me Jenny tonight and when I explain why, he calls Jenny and Cooper a few choice words.

After getting him calmed down, I go lie down on my bed. I’m so thankful that it is Christmas break from school. I couldn’t imagine going to work after all this.

Cooper

When I arrive at Ivy’s house, I’m surprised that ‘Jenny’ isn’t there.

‘Ivy’ already has her jacket on and is dressed in another provocative outfit. When I ask where her roommate is, she tells me, “Her and Matt are meeting us at the club.”

My fists clench at my side. Already, my night is not working out like I had hoped.

I usher her out the door and when she gets into the car, I ask her, “What kind of perfume is that?”

“Oh, it’s called Crimson. I’ve wore it forever. Do you like it?” she gushes at me.

I try to keep my face emotionless when I shrug and pull out of the driveway. She doesn’t even notice. She starts talking about her day and I don’t have to say anything the whole way to the club.
