“I should just stay here. It sure would make my life easier if I did.”
I feel her hand on my arm, so I look in her direction.
“But I know that’s not what you want.”
I shake my head and stare back up at the ceiling.
I feel the bed dip as she climbs off the opposite side and starts to gather her things. “I’m going to get going. My parents still think I’m at grad night and are expecting it to be over by now.” She stops and faces me. “I think some alone time to think will be good for you anyway.”
I let out a deep sigh and sit up so I’m cross-legged on my bed. “You’re probably right.”
She walks over to give me a hug. “Love you.”
“Love you too.”
She waves as she walks out the door. Before she closes it, I see Aaron’s door is closed as well.
I didn’t hear him come home last night, but I know his door was open before we went to bed so he must have at some point.
Closing my eyes, I fall back against the bed with a sigh.
How does a girl make up her mind when one of the guys she’s maybe in love with lives across the hall?
I hear a slight knock on the door and jump, terrified to say anything in case it’s Aaron.
I’m not ready to see him.
“Sadie, sweetheart, it’s Debbie. Can I come in?”
Letting out a sigh of relief, I respond, “Yeah, come on in.”
She opens the door with the most motherly expression covering her face, filled with compassion, love, and most importantly, understanding.
She doesn’t say a word as she sits on the bed and places her hand on my leg, giving me a few moments to gather myself.
“I hear you had an interesting night,” she finally says.
My eyes meet hers, and she gives me a slight grin.
“When he got home, Aaron told me what happened.”
My head spins instantly. “He did?”
Was he truthful?
She lets out a breath. “Yep, he told me everything. How he wants to get back together with you. How he wants you to go to Texas with him. How he kissed you and Beau found out …”
I sit up, more ready to have this conversation since she pretty much knows what’s going on. “He told you all of that?”
She nods. “That he did. I take it, Beau wasn’t too happy about his actions.”
A sharp laugh escapes my lips.
“Well, what about you?” She reaches out and touches her hand to my cheek. “I can tell you’ve been crying. How did you feel about Aaron’s confession?”
I bite my inner lip and shrug. “Confused, I guess.”
“Confused about what?”
