I roll back over and face the wall. I don’t want to get back up, I don’t want to do anything but lie here and try to think of all the red flags I must have missed or ignored. Sure, he’s an asshole, but he’s always been sweet to me, we were doing so good. Or so I thought.

There’s a soft knock at my door. I want to tell whoever it is to go away, but I have no energy.

My door cracks open. “Hey.” It’s India again. “Are you hungry?”

This is her third time checking on me since she got home this morning. She heard, everyone knows what happened, and I feel so stupid. India offered to kick his ass, but I just shook my head no. I just wanted to forget him, forget us, but my mind had other plans. It played our memories together all morning long, pulling tears along with them.

I love him so much it hurts. So much my heart is in tattered pieces that I don’t know how to put back together.

“Bliss?” she says my name. “You have to eat, babe.”

I shake my head and snuggle deeper into my covers. I can’t eat, not like this, when my stomach is twisting and pulling in different directions.

“I’m going to fucking kill him.” I hear her mumble under her breath.

I want to tell her he’s not worth it, but I blink heavily and close my eyes. I don’t want to think, talk, or eat. I just want to curl into a cocoon and never come out. Realistically, life will keep going, I’ll have to keep going, but this weekend my world stopped, and I’m not ready to restart it just yet.

Hot tears roll down my face. He was never supposed to make me cry.
