It didn’t hurt this bad with David, and I was surprised at how easy I got over him. I feel like this time will be so much worse, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get over Chase.
If I let myself fall for him, I’m setting myself up for some serious heartbreak, and I have a feeling this time my heart will be obliterated. I need to stop getting caught up in these stupid feelings of love. Love? Shit! Am I? Who am I kidding? I’ve already fallen. Hard. I barely know him. How can I be in love with him?
I settle under the cool, crisp sheets, thinking about the ways he made me smile. How he made me feel beautiful and wanted, keeping me safe and protected.
I can’t go down this road again.
I need to cut the head off the snake before it strikes.
I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight, because I know what I have to do. I need to go back home and get my life in order. I need to lay into my boss and get my job back and put Chase in my rearview mirror. Being here with him and out of harm’s way, I feel safeguarded. But as I cry myself to sleep, letting the exhaustion pull me under.
I know what I need to do.
