“I did that for Journey, not for you.”
“Oh, come on, Jackson. Even you don’t believe that. Why can’t you just admit you like me? That maybe we could be friends, especially now that I liv—” She stopped herself.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t give me that shit. What were you about to say?”
“Well…what had happened was… last night, I umm… drank a little too much… and uh… didn’t make wise choices,” she stumbled over her words, one right after the other.
What the hell was going on?
“What does that have to do with what you were about to say?”
I was over the games. I had enough of that with Harley.
“Speak, woman!”
She shrugged. “I kind of live here now.”
What the fuck?
“Not forever! It’s not like that. Just until I can figure it all out. Honestly, everything just kind of happened really fast and your dad is—”
“An asshole.”
“I was going to say protective and stubborn.” She nodded. “But your adjective works too.”
“My dad moved you in?”
“No.”
“No?”
“Maybe. You’re confusing me with your trickery, like your dad did this morning.”
“This morning? He spent the night with you?”
“What? No!”
“No?”
“Well, kind of, but not like that. You’re twisting it again.”
“I’m not twisting shit. I’m going off of what you’re saying.”
Between yesterday and today, I swear I was already losing my mind. She went on about what happened, and I tried to pay attention as best I could. Though she was just as confusing as Harley was.
“So, what you’re saying is you got shitfaced, hooked up—”
She interrupted me, going on and on about one thing or another. Until I finally questioned, “Are you okay?”
She was surprised I followed it up with that, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t as well.
“Yeah, for the most part. I didn’t want any of this to come about, and I feel horrible because it did. Your dad thinks I’m in danger if I stay in my apartment, and he might be right. At this point, I honestly don’t know.”
“So ‘Don’t Answer’ is that bad?”
