It is nearing seven when I reach what is suppose to be Henry’s house. I check the address again to make sure I have it right. This couldn’t be the house. The house in front of me could easily fit into the category of a small mansion. I hesitated before shutting off my rental car. The mechanic told me that my old car had a cracked engine and was now nothing more than a huge paperweight. I crane my neck to look over the place. What kind of money did a person have to make to live in a place like this?

The morning was nice so I decided to go sit on the stone picnic benches in the University courtyard. I am about halfway through a chapter of my psych class when a shadow falls over the book. I look up, surprised to see Fletcher. “I heard you wanted to talk to me,” he says with a tone that suggests he is bored.

I was so angry at Fletcher that I cleaned my whole apartment until it sparkled, except for the carpet. The stain remained but it wasn’t all that noticeable after a whole hour of scrubbing.

Zeke and I sit at a small table in a busy Italian restaurant, waiting on our orders. Hopefully, the food was better than the movie we had just seen. There was an hour and a half of my life that I would never get back.“So what did you think of the movie?” Zeke asks.

It takes me a while to get up from where I sat by the door. I can’t believe Kirk did this to me. Was he always this much of a jerk or was it something new? Finally, the tears stop and I get up from the floor. I feel exhausted and my head hurts. I dry my face as I walk to the bath to take a shower. I’m hoping the hot water will help ease my headache. I had cried and felt sorry for myself, but I am done with that. I am not a damsel in distress.

“Have you tried talking to him?” I ask Betha after she mentions her problems with Matt.“He’s a guy Olivia. Anytime I try to talk about anything emotional or involving feelings he practically gets hives.”

My stomach is a bundle of nerves and guilt as we arrive at Henry’s house. Somehow agreeing to let Beth stay with me meant that Margo was going to move in as well. We pulled up into the driveway.“I’m going to start packing,” Margo says excitedly as she gets out of the car and race
