1 Week Later…
21 missed calls… 87 text messages… 15 voice mails….
My phone rang once again and I threw it onto my bed ready to add another missed call to my ever-growing list.
After Derrick left I couldn’t think, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I had scenarios playing over and over again of Derek getting shot or blown to pieces or coming home missing a limb. I’ve felt like a ghost of myself for the past week, just an empty shell walking around and performing the necessary duties but without any life or emotions.
I started to call in sick at work because I couldn’t face Spencer. What would I tell him? Oh, hey there Spencer. So, I made out with this guy I’ve known since we were kids. Yea, I wanted to sleep with him but don’t worry I sent him home before it went to far. Oh and did I mention that I used to be in love with him? Yea, that would totally work, especially if “used to” might not even work anymore. Telling Spencer what happened would send my butt packing to live back in single town, population me.
I went in on Monday feeling as if I would be able to keep up my little charade, but one look in his eyes and I felt like I was going to spill everything that had happened. When he saw me his face actually lit up, he came towards me and embraced me so tightly that all the air left my lungs. When he pulled back he looked into my eyes and his expression changed, he was searching for something. Maybe joy, but that was the last thing that he found.
I stared back into his ever-changing eyes and felt nothing but pain, not because of him of course but because I felt so conflicted that I felt as though I was being pulled in two.
I’m just grateful that I didn’t see his face when I pulled away and rushed out the door. Blake’s cocky smirk didn’t even bother me as I hurriedly pushed out of the building, tears spilling over my cheeks.
Since then I’ve been completely recluse. Spencer, Aria, and Derrick have been trying to get ahold of me none stop but I just can’t seem to answer their calls. One by one they’ve appeared at my door, yelling for me to answer and assaulting my doorbell but I just sat on the couch waiting for them to leave.
I know it’s childish of me but I just can’t face anyone and their questions when I have no idea how to answer them.
My questions were endless: Why did I kiss Derrick? How far were we going to go? Do I still love him? Did his news make me act the way I did? What about Spencer? The list goes on and on.
I need to figure out what to do before I talk to anyone, but I’m out of time.
Tonight is Derrick’s last night here.
Tears brimmed my eyes as the day became more real, as the thought of me losing him became more real.
I let out a defeated breath as I reached for my phone to check my texts:
Derrick: Hey, can we talk?
Spencer: Hey babe, are you okay? What happened today?
Derrick: Kady please talk to me.
Derrick: Kady?
Aria: Hey bítch! Call me back I’m missing some Kadence time!
Aria: Heeellllooooo!
Aria: Oh hell no! You can’t ignore me like that!
The messages went on like that for a while; Derrick kept trying to get me to see him, Spencer tried to see if I was all right, and Aria was sending me death threats. But, there was one message that peaked my interest:
Aria: Okay listen; I don’t know what’s going on because you’re not talking to me for some reason. But this Friday night is Derrick’s last night and I know how much you mean to him. You should come. We’re all going to The Opera to get drunk and make the last mistakes we can before Derrick leaves. I hope you make it; we’ll be there at 10.
I sent a text back to Aria telling her I was sorry and that I will definitely be there tonight
An idea rolled around in my head for a few moments before a mischievous grin found it’s way on my face. I quickly searched through my texts until I found Spencer, I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.
“Hey, Spencer, what’re you doing tonight?”
