The next morning, I have the worst headache that I’ve ever had, and my body feels like I was hit by a huge truck.

Thankfully, Justin came to get us once Aaron left, but it was so early in the night that Heather opted to go hang out with him, and they dropped me off at home, alone.

Just when I think that I can’t feel any worse, Aaron knocks on my window. I open my blinds to see him standing there with a stern expression.

“We need to talk.”

I nod and motion to the front door, where I open it and walk out to see him sitting on our porch stairs.

I join him and instantly start talking. “I’m sorry for last night. I had way too much to drink.”

He stares out at the street. “Do you like him?”

“No,” I state with no question.

“That’s not what it seemed like last night.” He looks my way.

I place my hand on his shoulder. “I told you, I was drunk.”

“Yeah, but drunk words are spoken truths.” He glances back out at the street. “At least, that’s what my mom always said about my dad before he took off.”

I rub my lips together. “I promise that’s not the case.”

He drops his head as he shakes it side to side, letting out a breath. “I didn’t like what I saw or what I heard. You obviously have something you need to work out because that was most definitely someone who has feelings for someone else. The worst part though …” He looks back to me. “I honestly don’t think you’d have the same reaction if you caught me with someone else.”

With that bomb he just dropped, he stands up and walks straight to his car that’s parked in his driveway and speeds away.

I hate everything about what just happened, but the thing I hate the most is … he’s right.
