Chapter Nineteen-Sophie
Just in his nature? Thatâs such bullshit. I wasnât about to argue with Cole. Heâs still fragile, as far as Iâm concerned. But his nature is a weak excuse guys use to feel better about their friends being assholes.
Cole hadnât told me anything I didnât already know, but the way he said it bugs me. It bugs me so much that I canât sleep much during the day, and that was difficult enough already. I didnât need challenges. So, I text Beckett, hoping we can talk about things to put my mind at ease.
Itâs weird that he doesnât text me back.
When I go into work that night, itâs the last of my rotation, which should make me happy. Only, it doesnât. Things feel odd. Itâs been hours. Beckett should have texted me back by now. I figured he got busyâwe all get busy. But itâs after ten at night and nothing.
Janet comes to me with that look, and I know she wants something. Normally, Iâd find any excuse to dodge her. Hell, Iâve changed bedpans to avoid that woman. But tonight, Iâm distracted. She puts on a fake smile. It must be something big. Crap. âSo, itâs your last night on this shift.â
âYep.â
âGarcia is looking for someone to cover his shifts for the next five nights. Any chance that could be you? He covered two of your days when Cole was first injured. Might be nice if you would pay him back.â
My first thought is of Beckett. That I want to be available when heâs got time off of work. He was rightâbeing so busy at the start of things isnât good for a new relationship. Thatâs probably why Iâm being so weird about him not texting me back.
But then I realize he hasnât texted me back. Screw that guy.
âYeah, Iâll take it.â
âI can put you down for two to make it even?â
Might regret this, but right now, I do not care. âAll five.â
Sheâs quirks a look at me. âAre you looking to come onto nights?â
âNo. But I want to help. And I appreciate what he did for me.â
âOkay. Iâll put you down for all five.â She walks away.
No need to tell her Iâm avoiding dealing with something else. I donât like it when coworkers get into my business. If this even is businessâ¦
I text him again. âEverything okay?â
When I havenât gotten a text back by the time my shift is over, Iâm glad I took Garciaâs shifts. Let Beckett miss me. He doesnât deserve my attention after not responding. Let him come to me.
But after two whole days and nights of not hearing anything from him, Iâm pissed. And Hope notices it at our midnight meal. âWhat did that lettuce ever do to you?â
âThinking me and Beckett was just a fluke or something.â
She frowns. âHow come?â
âHe hasnât called. Or texted. Or sent a carrier pigeon. No smoke signals, either.â
âThat seems especially odd.â
âWhat makes you say so?â
She shrugs. âHeâs your brotherâs best friend.â
âSo?â
âSo, Iâd think it would be super weird for him to ghost on his BFFâs sister.
