Fletch clicks away at his keyboard while working on a last minute paper for Econ. I should be doing the same, but I’ve been staring into my phone for twenty minutes, like a moron, at the pictures Grayson sent.

A numbness, a shock and pain with no end and no beginning has taken over my body, and I’m afraid to move, afraid to breathe.

The first one was the kicker, Laken in his arms, her face buried in his neck. Then there’s one of Coop with his finger over her lips—another with the two of them openly holding one another as if the world were about to end, right there in the fucking kitchen. They’re not even hiding it anymore.

Grayson said Kres would gladly comfort me tonight—all I had to do was say the word. An unwanted memory of just how she used to comfort me rolls through my body. I wish Laken wanted me that way. And maybe she does. Coop was the one who went to her, not the other way around. But the way she’s holding him—that look of grief on her face lets me know she’s afraid of what comes next.

A knock erupts at the door and both Fletch and I look up as if it were magically going to answer itself.

In truth, I’m scared to death to see who it is—to find Laken on the other side waiting to tell me she can’t go through with the ceremony because she doesn’t love me and never wants to see my fucking face again.

The door opens, and it’s not Laken, it’s Coop—thankfully alone. I’m not sure how I’d feel if they were tag-teaming me to let me in on their “feelings” for one another.

Fletch looks up from his desk. “What’s up, Coop?”

“Not much.” He steps in, shooting me an apprehensive look. “You mind if I get a minute alone with Wes?”

“Why? You want to dry hump his leg?” Fletcher settles back into his sports article.

“Get out, Fletch,” I bark it out a little harsher than anticipated.

He gets up and tosses a pair of socks at me. “I’ll be back in ten. Try not to let him get you to second base until the next date, sugar lips.” He takes off and entombs the two of us in this tiny room. It feels like a cage—like a prison cell, a death chamber.

I force myself to look at him. He used to be someone I counted as a friend, but now I can’t make it past the fact he’s some guy that Laken has willingly sealed her lips over—that she almost replaced me with because I couldn’t believe a word she said. My gut cinches as he takes a seat across from me because, deep down, I’m afraid Laken has already done just that, replaced me.

“I take it you’re not here to borrow a book,” I say it low and measured, grinding my teeth together to keep from roaring in his face to stay the fuck away from my girlfriend.

“Nope.” He clasps his hands over his knees.
