Dia: Finn, I’m worried.
The read receipt shows up again.
But I get nothing.
“Screw it,” I mutter under my breath and select his number. I press the Call button, taking the phone to my ear. It rings a few times, but the call goes straight to voicemail.
And it’s not because his phone is on silent. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have rung. I’m willing to bet he sent the call to voicemail manually. He’s choosing to ignore me. My breath catches in my throat when my phone chimes with a message.
From him.
Finn: Please don’t call me.
I type a reply so fast I have to start over my message twice.
Dia: Why not?
To my disbelief, he texts back pronto.
Finn: Because if I hear your voice, I’ll change my mind.
My stomach sinks.
Dia: Change your mind about what?
He leaves me on “Read” once more. A few minutes come and go, and he still hasn’t replied. I text him again. I don’t care if I look desperate.
Dia: Finn???
Five minutes later, he puts me out of my misery.
Or so I thought.
Finn: I dropped your stuff on your front porch.
No.
Hell no.
He can’t be doing this. I’m gripping my phone so tightly I barely feel my knuckles as I message him back.
Dia: Finn, you’re scaring me. What are you doing?
I might’ve had my doubts yesterday, but I didn’t break up with him. I just said I needed time. Not that our entire relationship was good for the trash. He answers me five minutes later.
Finn: What I should’ve done years ago.
“If you’re going to throw up, please do it inside.” A masculine voice startles me. I look up to see Xavier and Aveena staring at me like I just grew nipples on my forehead. Holding my drink in one hand, Aveena drives her elbow into her boyfriend’s stomach to scold him, but he has a point. I feel like shit and probably look it, too.
“You okay, D? You seem kind of pale.” Aveena hands me my drink, and I go over Finn’s last message in my head. He says he’s going to do what he should’ve done years ago.
What the hell does that mean?
“Do you know where Finn is?” I address Xavier directly.
“He left hours ago,” Xavier explains.
“Did he look okay? When he left?”
