I sigh. This whole night has turned into one big mess.
“I know I should butt out. But just like Mads, we’re good at reading people. Call it a twin gift, I don’t fucking know, but Tyler’s good people. I shouldn’t be surprised since he loves you, and you’re awesome.”
My heart throbs at the words-he loves you.What has he told Mason? Are they best friends now or something? It’s not like Tyler to be so open.
I know Mason is easy to talk to, but I don’t know. It’s weird.
Shit, everything is such a mess.
“Thanks, Mase. I appreciate it. Madison and you are good people, too.”
“Damn straight we are.” Mason grins. “Now, let’s get you and the girls home. It’s late enough.”
I snicker.
Madison’s gonna love hearing that.
Sure enough, she’s not ready to go, and she’s not hearing what Mason has to say, either.
I end up catching a ride home with Mason and a few others who jumped in for a ride back to the dorms. It’s as if a dark cloud hangs over my head.
Should I see him before he leaves? Or should I just keep things how they are?
I’m not sure what to do, but what I do know is climbing into bed is the best part of the night. Pulling the covers over my head, I try to get comfortable, but I toss and turn.
And when I close my eyes, all I see is him.
Tyler Reed.
The only boy my stupid heart wants.
ChapterSix
Tyler
I turn back and take one last look at my girl. Her friends surround her, probably asking a million questions.
He’s a jerk. Don’t worry about him. Forget him. You don’t need him.They probably all say.
Look back at me, Goody.
Please.
Just once.
Look back at me.
But she doesn’t.
I ignore my dumb heart screaming at me to go back. It’s stupid and doesn’t know what a fucking mess it’s made of my life.
The hurt rushes through me like a tidal wave of anger.
I had felt better this past month. Hanging with Mason, getting my mind off shit. But seeing her at the party jolted me right back to when I first saw her.
Fuck. All that progress for nothing.
Hell, who am I kidding? What progress? Just because the thoughts hurt less doesn’t mean they weren’t there.
