What just happened? How did we get here? I thought things were good. We were good. Those days spent together weren't lies. Goddamn. I shouldn't have answered the fucking phone.
A sinking feeling settled in my stomach, a mix of guilt and what-ifs tangling up inside me. The taste of our argument lingered, bitter and unresolved.
"Great job, Agatha," I muttered under my breath. "Really nailed that one."
I closed my eyes, replaying the scene over and over. Arnold's face, the hurt etched across it, haunted me. The way his insecurities had spilled out, raw and exposed, made my own doubts rear their ugly heads.
We were a mess. A pair of nerds fumbling through something that felt too big for either of us to handle.
Get it together, girl.I pressed my palms to my eyes, willing away the sting.
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Time to think, to figure out where to go from here. But my mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, none of them pointing to a clear path forward.
Tomorrow. I'll figure it out tomorrow.
For now, I needed the quiet, the stillness. Just me and the echo of his departure bouncing off the walls.
