CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Harper

I move through life, barely conscious, wishing something would jolt me out of this new, ugly mood.

Even as I yell at myself that I’m being melodramatic, I can’t break it.

It’s not as though Bryson and I had anything real to begin with, not as though we shared more than some kisses and steamy moments.

He told me about his past, and that meant something.

Then I made a jerk out of myself on the phone, coming so close to revealing my crush as if it would make a difference. It’s been a week since that phone call.

I go to the restaurant and imagine I’m somebody else as I wait tables, forcing myself to smile and be as approachable as possible. At home, I try my hardest to work on the podcast, but it’s difficult to summon the enthusiasm.

Tonight, I’m sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through Netflix on the TV, struggling to find something to watch, something to distract me from the endless whirling thoughts of Bryson.

I dissect every moment we shared, from his hand on my leg to our first kiss in Adam’s kitchen to Bryson guiding us through the night like the world was ours and ours alone.

When Tiffany returns from work, she takes one look at me and throws her hands up.

“What?” I ask.

“I’m taking you out.”

“Out where?”

“There’s this club I know. They’ll let us in.”

I sit up, already shaking my head. Tiffany’s been going to clubs since she was seventeen, using her prom-queen-like beauty and guile to fool the doormen into letting her in.

I’ve never been the clubbing type and never understood the appeal.

“What are you going to do, hmm?” Tiffany drops down on the couch next to me. “Sit here on the couch scrolling Netflix for hours without picking something like the last few nights?”

“I’ve done all my work. If I want to waste my time, then that’s my business.”

“You’re my best friend. So it’s my business too.”

“I don’t know… you know I don’t drink.”

“You don’t have to have a good time.” She smiles, fiddling with her ponytail. “I won’t force you. I think it would do you some good to get out of the house. I was going to meet with Liam, anyway. It’ll be fun.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind me tagging along?”

“Not even a little bit.”

I sit up, knowing I have to do everything possible to pull myself out of this funk. If I don’t, I’ll just sink deeper and deeper until it swallows me whole.

“Okay, let’s do it.”
