“I’ve got to go. I’ll come over to your place later tonight and we can talk about it, okay?”
“Fine,” I said, still furious.
I walked home annoyed with this sudden change in events.. With each step, I wondered if I was heading in the right direction with my life. Did I really want to get into sports medicine and be around asshole jocks the rest of my years on the planet?
My dream of becoming a Nurse Practitioner had started when I first found out about it during a Career Day at school. Some other boy’s mother worked as one. I had listened intently to every word she said then went home to learn more online.
Only two years down the path and I wanted to give up? Did I have what it took to make it all the way? Doubts swirled around me as I took the long way home for my safety. What were my other options? Find a rich guy to marry. That so wasn’t me.
By the time I reached the apartment, I was not in the mood for Jocelyn and crap. She started in on me as soon as I made it through the door.
“Brooke, everything okay? You look upset. Let me guess, Austin problems?” She said it so innocently, that I immediately figured out where Austin had gotten his information.
“Why would you tell him I slept with Trey?”
“Who? What?”
“Don’t play dumb,” I said.
“I thought you liked Trey,” she said. “You kept talking about him getting a boner.”
“You’re so immature, I mentioned it once, because I thought it was funny. But now I know, it wasn’t,” I said. “He’s coming over. You better tell him the truth.”
How had we been so close at one point? We had nothing in common anymore. I was growing up and we were growing apart, and she couldn’t handle it. Her issues with Austin had nothing to do with him, it all had to do with her.
“Fuck him and you,” she said. “I’m leaving.”
“Go ahead,” I said. “See if I care.”
“You’re such a spoiled bitch.”
“And you’re fucking crazy.”
I twirled my finger next to my head.
“At l
east I’m honest about who I am.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“You know,” she said.
I shook my head, having no idea.
“Are you leaving or not? It’ll be nice to not have you around.”
“I’m leaving now.”
She spun around and went to the door, opening it.
“Oh,” she said. “It’s you. Great.”
“Who is it?” I asked, hoping Austin had come over after all.
“Your asshole boyfriend,” she said then stormed out.
A nervous frown fell over my face as he walked in.
