Going back to the entryway, I tossed my keys on the half-moon table and hung up my jacket. I stared at my jacket pocket, at my phone resting inside it. Maybe I should call someone. Evan? He was too far away to help me. Jenny? She was too close to Kiera—I’d just end up yelling at her, and she didn’t deserve that. Denny? Denny I wouldn’t mind yelling at. Why the fuck didn’t he just tell me? Why the fuck didn’t he ever mention he was back? I really thought… I know I screwed him over, and he had every right to treat me like shit, but I really thought he was a better person than this. I thought he was better than me. Guess not.

Twisting away from my phone, I ran my hands through my hair. I needed to do something; I just had no idea what. I should leave. I should change my flight and go back now. So I could be pissed on the airplane? Assuming I could even get a flight this late? No, I was fucking stuck here, in this fucking hell, until the world fucking opened up again. Why did I even come home?

And that was when there was a soft knock on my door. Who the actual fuck was here at this hour? Stepping over to the door, I cracked it open…and was met with Kiera’s fucking face. Goddamn it. She could never just leave me alone. What more do you want from me? I already gave you absolutely everything. Rolling my eyes, I slammed the door in her face. I’m not playing by your rules anymore. This is my house, and you’re no longer welcome.

As I walked away from the door, I instantly realized I should have locked it. Kiera stepped inside, slamming the door behind her. I flinched at the unexpected sound, then turned to face her. Bitch. You have no right to be here. None.

I ran my hand through my hair with an annoyed sigh. “I’m not doing this, Kiera. I’m not having this conversation again…we’re over.” I was so pissed those words didn’t even faze me anymore. Almost.

Holding onto the heat in my stomach, I turned away from her. She grabbed my arm. “No, we’re not, Kellan! Not until you tell me the truth.”

Truth? Everything about that word set me off. “You first!” I snapped, turning to face her.

With a sigh, she released my arm and tossed her hands into the air. “I did! I told you the truth about Denny. Nothing happened! Goddamn it, why don’t you believe that anymore? Or did you ever really believe me? Was that a lie just to have sex with me one last time?”
