What the hell was happening? Had everyone lost their goddamn minds lately?
“I don’t need any more advice on this. I’m good. I need to go. I’ll come see you this week.”
“I love you,” she said.
“Love you, too.”
“See, was that so difficult to say? Those three little words.” She chuckled, and I shook my head with disbelief.
“Goodbye.” I ended the call and looked down to see the group text I’d been ignoring all day going off, per usual.
I quickly caught up on all the mundane shit we talked about. Kingston and Nash went on and on about the renovation at the Silvertons’ house, and how Walter Silverton answered the door stark naked. That conversation got a bunch of endless memes and emojis. And not in a good way.
Hayes told us about a bullshit call for a fire last night from Suzie Walters who simply wanted someone to come over and change the batteries in her smoke detector.
Kingston said how hot she was and that he’d change her batteries anytime.
Normally, I’d find this shit funny, but I wasn’t in the mood today. But the next one caught my eye.
Nash
Cutler has back-to-school night next week, and he wants everyone there to meet his new teacher. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that Ruby wouldn’t be here next week. Are we going to do a barbecue or something before she leaves so we can all say goodbye? You know how Cutler is. He’s going to lose his shit after she’s gone.
Kingston
I don’t think he’s the only one. Are you still being a stubborn prick, brother?
Romeo
Everyone deals with things differently. Let him work through it.
Hayes
This is going to shock the shit out of all of you… but I’m with King on this one. Stop being a dumbass and tell the girl how you feel before she leaves.
Kingston
Well, looky here. Even a blind squirrel finds his nuts every once in a while. Apparently, today is my day. Even Hayes is on my side. Come on, Golden Boy and Nash. Jump on the King train.
Romeo
You are one crazy fucker. I’m fairly certain you ruined that saying. The blind squirrel finds a NUT, not HIS NUTS. And I’m on your side, too. I want him to tell her how he feels, but I think he should do it in his own way. His own time.
Nash
Fuck. I don’t know who I’m siding with on this one. You’re all making good points.
That’s because they’re saying the same fucking thing. I get it. You want me to tell her how I feel. Do we not remember the fucking sticky note? Wasn’t that Kingston’s goddamn idea?
Hayes
I never got on board with professing your love on a sticky note.
Nash
The problem with writing it in a note, and one that is unusually small, is that you don’t know if she got it. And it’s not like you have the neatest handwriting.
