Nope.
Why would he do that?
When I finally have it powered down, I slide it into my bag and eat my pancakes. They don’t taste the same as I hoped they would. I think because now I’m not so excited about everything. Kyler has a habit of spoiling my mood and even though I didn’t pick the phone up, I still feel like whatever he was going to say has soured my state of mind. I’m disappointed that my day has been ruined. Goddamn him.
I eat half the pancakes, drink my coffee, and then decide to leave. No point sitting here dwelling. Why can’t he leave me alone? I know I have to get on with my life, and I am trying so hard to do that. One unanswered phone call from Kyler, and I am back at square one.
Turning my phone back on as I walk out the door of the café, multiple messages come through one after the other. All from Kyler.
Kyler: Call me.
Kyler: Now.
Kyler: Oriana, this isn’t a joke.
Kyler: Call me.
Kyler: This is urgent.
I debate not calling him back. He does not deserve to talk to me, but if it’s urgent, how can I not? It would be irresponsible, right?
So pressing call, he answers on the first ring.
“You need to come home. Now.”
“I’m almost home,” I answer.
“You are?” I look up at Harvey’s house and smile.
“Yep.”
I hear rustling before he says, “I’m standing out front. Where are you coming from?”
My feet freeze as I look at Harvey’s place, but I don’t see anyone there.
“You’re here?”
“What?” he asks. “Are you at home or not?”
“Which home?” I ask, confused. “I only have one home, it’s with Harvey.”
“No, Oriana, it’s with me. And the home we created together.”
“You are mistaken. Now, what do you want?”
“Harvey hasn’t moved?” I hear the sound of a car door slamming.
“No, why?” My feet are frozen in place as I stare at the front door of Harvey’s home.
“I’m on my way.” Then he hangs up.
I could go elsewhere. Hide from him. But why should I be the one doing that? Kyler is the one who fucked me over. He is the one who stopped loving me. Granted, it takes two, but there is always one who checks out first.
And it was him.
Definitely him.
I persevered for so long, put up with so much, only to find he never cared about me.
