CHAPTER 21

MIA

When the elevator doors had closed last night, I’d felt nothing but pain and regret. I’d wanted to run down the stairs, meet him on the ground floor, tell him that I didn’t mean any of it, that I was just hurting really badly … but I couldn’t get myself to move from my spot.

I glanced into the hospital bathroom mirror, promised myself that I wouldn’t cry again, and applied some mascara. The light in this room wasn’t the best for putting on makeup, but I didn’t have a way to get home to get ready there.

The bathroom door opened, and I listened to someone sigh.

“Mia, are you seriously getting ready in the damn hospital?” Serena asked. She walked over to me and grabbed the mascara, tilted my head toward her, and started applying it for me. “Let me help.”

After taking a deep breath, I let myself relax. At least I hadn’t pushed Serena or Melissa away yet. They were the only people who could support me through this now.

“So,” she said, smiling, “how are you and Michael?”

I frowned, tears welling up in my eyes. Don’t cry, Mia. You’re the one who pushed him away. “I’d rather not talk about him,” I said.

She furrowed her brows. “But you were—”

“What’s taking you girls so long?” Melissa asked, popping her head into the bathroom. “The guys are waiting for us at the party already. It started ten minutes ago.” She walked into the bathroom, saw Serena doing my makeup, and pulled a stick of red lipstick out of her purse. “Here, try this.” She grabbed my chin and applied a coat on my lips. “Perfect!”

I snuck Serena a glance, wanting to continue the conversation with someone because it was driving me insane. I wanted her to tell me that I had made the right choice, that telling Michael all I wanted from him was sex was what I was supposed to do, because I couldn’t tell Melissa. I couldn’t mention it to her. I couldn’t even tell her that I was seeing someone on the side.

She’d pry.

She’d ask everyone who it was.

She’d find out that it was her own father.

During the whole drive to the party, I sat in the backseat with my knees bouncing wildly. I shouldn’t have left Mom. I should’ve stayed at the hospital, had a lonely night to myself, and thought about how I ruined every single relationship I ever had. How I was a fucking monster who couldn’t stop hurting people or hurting myself.

When we pulled up to the biggest party of the summer, I sighed quietly through my nose. I’d only stay for a couple hours, and then I’d have Melissa bring me to see Mom. And if Melissa was too preoccupied with Victor, then I’d ask Mason.

There were over twenty cars parked on the street, and people were walking toward the house in droves. Lights were flashing from inside, a heap of smoke was drifting out from the front door, and music was blaring through the damn windows.
