Kennedy

“Are you going to be okay?”

If being numb and in shock and feeling the worst amount of pain in my entire life pulsing through my veins, deadening my heart with every breath I take is okay…then…yeah.

I’ll be okay.

I turn my head and look at Sarah. She’s been incredible the past two days since we got home. She packed both our suitcases while I cried, curled into a ball on my bed in our hotel room. She got us to the airport, paid whatever exorbitant fee necessary in order to change our flights so we could leave immediately.

For the last twenty-four hours, she’s sat with me in my apartment as I bawled my eyes out and survived on a combination of double-chocolate-chunk ice cream and wine.

“I’ll be fine,” I tell her from the same spot on the couch I’ve sat in since we walked in the door. I’ve changed clothes, but only once and only because Sarah brought them to me after forcing me to take a shower.

Her lips twitch like she wants to speak, but I turn back to the television—an infomercial about a vacuum that’s apparently the most amazing thing at sucking up pet hair. I should buy it. I’ll need this thing once I have ten cats. It’s even pink, so...score.

“You can go, Sarah,” I say when she doesn’t speak.

I have to work tomorrow and she needs to get back to Chicago. I somehow have to figure out how to get to my bed, get some sleep, and then get up and shower, put on a smile, and go to my job at Pascal’s Interior Design.

Just thinking about doing all of that makes me feel exhausted. I don’t want to move at all. For like, ever.

“Kennedy?”

She walks toward me until she’s standing in front of me. I try to peek around her legs to see the vacuum commercial, but she doesn’t let me avoid her. Sitting down on the coffee table in front of me, she places her hands on my knees.

“You’ll get through this, sweetie.”

I nod, committing the phone number for the super deluxe animal vac to memory. “I know.”

“Hey.” She snaps her fingers and I drag my eyes to hers. “You knew he’d be mad, but I think you were really brave telling him.”

“Not like I had a choice.” Not with that photo. I hate Charles Legend. He’s never done a damn thing for Grayson in his life, ever. He’s only brought Grayson pain and anguish. I still can’t believe my secret was outed by his drunken dad.

Shaking my head, I bite down on my tongue to stop the constant deluge of tears from falling. I’ve cried enough to make my own swimming pool. My eyes are so dried out they burn when I blink. I don’t even want to know what I look like.

“I know.” Her voice is always so soft, so understanding. I almost want to slap her, but I love her too much. “But I know you’ll get through this, too. And when he calls you, let him have his anger.
