EMREE

Because I was falling in love with you, and the thought of leaving you made it hard for me to breathe.

Two days ago, I asked Conrad to leave my apartment at two in the morning after his answer to my question. Without another word, he nodded and walked out the door. The moment I heard the click, my defensive walls broke. I cried like I never cried before while standing in my kitchen in the middle of the night.

The next morning, I woke up to a steaming cup of coffee beside me, the smell wafting into my senses and Blaire’s smiling face looking down on me. Even though I was exhausted from the emotional night and getting to sleep late, I knew I would never get rid of her without going into detail about what happened with Conrad. After an emotional morning, where Blaire, the sweetest person I have ever met, threatened Conrad with bodily harm if he tried to come near me again, we decided to order a large breakfast to be delivered and spent the morning in our pajamas watching reruns of Gossip Girl.

While the threat was delivered via text in our “friends” group chat, which I left the day after he dumped me, her message was met with approval from Camden and Maddox. Conrad did not reply, but she knew he had heard her loud and clear.

After a TV marathon, Blaire and I decided to pamper ourselves with mani-pedis, and I can’t help but admire my new pale-pink nails with tiny daisies on the ring fingers. Nothing helps to get over a broken heart like treating yourself to luxuries.

The sun is beating down on my skin, and I soak in the vitamin D and sip on my green juice while reviewing the notes I took during my last class. While my head has been spacy the last couple of days, I did not want what was going on with my personal life to affect my schoolwork. Having a partial scholarship means I must maintain a certain grade point average.

“Well, well, well. Hello, gorgeous,” a deep voice breaks my concentration. Gazing up, Ian comes into view. His face bright with the glow from the midday sunlight and his shining smile on full display.

While I hadn’t talked to Ian since Friday night when he dropped me off at my apartment, he did text me Sunday afternoon to make sure we were still on for a second date. Guilt fills me, remembering that I haven’t replied to his question. That is one of my biggest pet peeves, and I don’t want him to think I am ignoring him.

“Hey, how are you?” I ask him, matching his smile with my own. Gesturing with my hands, I invite him to sit across from me. He drops his backpack and lowers himself into the seat.

Resting his elbows on the table, Ian leans forward. “Not so good, if we’re being honest. Kind of digging this girl I met a few days ago, and it seems she may not be feeling the same way about me.
