Twenty-eight texts.

All from David.

My spit felt like acid as it slowly dripped down my throat.

My hands shook.

The hair on my body was standing straight again.

I knew it was a mistake, doing this now, but I also knew I had no other choice.

I pulled up his text box and began to read.

David

Why aren’t you fucking responding to me?!

Are you fucking stupid? Haven’t I told you countless times what happens when you ignore me?

Cunt.

Answer your goddamn phone, Lily.

You’re nothing but a slut—you know that?

A little whore who had it perfect and fucked it all up.

That’s what you do—you fuck everything up.

Bitch.

You’re going to get it …

Now, my calls are going straight to voice mail? What the hell is wrong with you?

Is your fucking phone off?

You’re going to be sorry you turned off your phone.

LILY, WHY THE FUCK AREN’T YOU ANSWERING ME?!

I stopped reading and scrolled to the bottom, my hands trembling, trying to keep the phone steady as I typed out a reply, my heart pounding so hard that I couldn’t inhale.

Me

David, stop. I don’t deserve to be treated this way. I’ve been in the air, and the Wi-Fi wasn’t working. Stop throwing accusations at me that aren’t true.

I was just about to set my phone down and check the back exit when another text came in.

David

Liar. The Wi-Fi doesn’t die on private jets owned by billionaires. Do you think I’m an idiot who would believe you? You were probably fucking one of them on the plane. Weren’t you?

Slut.

Me

You have no idea what you’re talking about.
