I inch closer to Willow. “Let me get this straight. He would have rather gone out to a party and get shitfaced rather than take his girlfriend to a movie she wanted to see?”
“That’s her issue with him. Not for you to get involved. He’s really pissed off about the whole thing.”
“He’s pissed off? And what is he doing about it? Blabbing to his sister? Did he tell you to talk to me?”
“No. He didn’t say a word. I just know this entire thing is weird now.”
“No reason for it to be weird, Willow. If your brother has something to say to me then he needs to come find me and talk to me. And if you really must know, I didn’t sit next to Mila right away. Some other guy did. Some guy started harassing her. So I threatened his life, then sat next to her.”
“That’s true?”
“Yup. And then it was dark out. I walked her back to her dorm. Just to be safe. Call me whatever you want, but imagine if she walked back to her dorm by herself and something happened to her. Then what? So tell me again, Willow, what the hell did I do wrong?”
My voice deepens. I’m almost bellowing at poor Willow.
Her eyes open wider.
My deep voice bothers her.
“Sorry,” I say. “I’m just…”
“Okay,” she says. “I was just bringing it up to kind of joke around. Sorry if I hit a nerve.”
“I’ve been cornered by everyone lately over this. As though some torrid affair is happening. I’m over it. And you know what? Mila and I…? We’re adults. We can figure out whatever we want when we want it.”
“Right,” Willow says.
I’m grateful when I hear her phone start to ring.
She looks at the screen and gasps.
“That’s Dr. Averson,” she says.
“Ut-oh, results from your pregnancy test are in?”
Willow gives me the nastiest look ever. “First of all, you have to have sex to get pregnant… second of all, Dr. Averson is calling to check up on me from when I was sick…”
She grabs her phone and runs off.
Was that sex comment a shot at me? Because I didn’t fuck her the night she was sick?
I let it slide.
Now I’m thinking about Ward.
That pussy.
What’s he going to do…? Run to his sister and whine like a baby? What does he want? Willow to talk me off the ledge and stay away from Mila?
Fuck that.
Fuck Ward.
Now I’m irritated as hell. I want to find Ward myself and beat the hell out of him.
Yeah, you know what? Fine. Fuck it. I purposely bought that movie ticket because I wanted to be near Mila. I wanted to sit next to her. I wanted to see her eat popcorn. I wanted to know what kind of soda she likes. I wanted to see her jump and get scared at a scary movie. And you know what? I knew for a fucking fact that Ward wouldn’t be there. Because he’s a loser. That’s why.
I stand up.
