Nadine drove aimlessly, not really sure where she was going or what she was going to do. She wanted to go and throw herself in Gabe’s arms but after his lukewarm reception this morning, it was probably better that she didn’t. He would more than likely take Jace’s side and she just couldn’t deal with that right now. Was it too much to ask to have someone stick up for her once in a while?

Her phone chirped on the seat beside her and she looked at it to see a text from Mandy. Mandy had been the only one to take her side. Right now she wanted someone she could vent to who wouldn’t try to make her think things through logically. She wanted someone who was willing to just listen and maybe agree with her. Nadine knew it was a bit of a cop-out. With all the psychology sessions she had sat through in the last six months, she knew that her need to ignore the true issues in play here was her fight or flight response kicking in. The mature thing would be to go to Gabe and have him mediate a discussion between her and Jace. But she was sick and tired of being the one who had to be on her best behavior all the time. Yes, she had made some stupid mistakes, but she wasn’t the only one. Why was it she had to be the one to carry all the blame? Nadine just needed a moment to regroup. She needed someone to stroke her ego and she wasn’t too ashamed to admit it.

Nadine hit the handsfree button and called Mandy.

“Hey,” she said when Mandy answered. “I need a distraction. What are you doing now?”

“Nothing,” Mandy replied, “Why don’t you come here and we can hang. I have popcorn and Netflix.”

“Great. I’ll be there soon.”

Nadine pointed the car in the direction of Mandy’s apartment. It was in a rougher side of town, but Nadine was in the mood for a fight so she wasn’t worried. Even the fight with Jace hadn’t been satisfying. It was different now - their fights. Once upon a time she knew she could say anything to him and he would never shut her out. Now she had to be careful of every little thing that came out of her mouth in case he thought she was losing the plot again. He didn’t trust her and in return she no longer trusted him. His unconditional love had always been her safety net. Now it felt there no longer was a safety net and she was flying blind.

“Not going to think about it,” she told herself as she pulled up outside the rundown building that housed Mandy’s apartment. She gathered her things, locked her door and headed inside. There was no lock on the door and no need to buzz up to Mandy’s apartment. She took the stairs at a slow jog and then knocked on Mandy’s door.

The door flew open and Mandy stood there with a smile on her face.
