Park

I openin his hand What the fuck is he doing here? I’h pain already

"Hey Sorry I didn’t"Clean clothes Guy said you asked for theood guy and bring the"

I chuckle darkly and then grab h Mason takes a step toward my bed and I hold up a hand "I’m fine," I croak I narrow my eyes "I don’t need shit fros played out and I know this doesn’t make up for it--"

"Not even close," I say forcefully, cutting him off

He nods and rubs the back of his neck "Anyway, I’ll just leave the you need is in there"

"Lucy packed my clothes?" My voice coe Mason looks at ain

"She’s really nice She cares about you"

"You don’t know her," I hiss She is nice More than nice, but I don’t want hi to do with her

"I know she’s been really upset See to the room "No relationship is perfect Trust me But I think…" He shakes his head "You two make a nice couple"

I s for another girl to steal, you’ll have to go somewhere else" He raises his brows and I point at the door "Seriously, h "Hope you feel better, Park If you need anything--"

"I won’t"

He presses his lips together and nods oneout the door I close my eyes and try to sleep

Guy hovers beside , but I’m determined to do it onet it into place and drop heavily on the bed Shoes are next, but that’s going to be harder than the shirt since it requires bending over I’et another dizzy spell If I puke one o hoo home

"You need some help?" Guy asks He takes a step toward the bed and I shake my head The quick movement causes the room to spin I have to lie back and closesuck

Life lesson nuuys when you’re by yourself Especially if you got a blowjob froirlfriends Not that I really remember all the details, but those parts are pretty clear

"Just slip your feet in and I’ll tie the s to the floor and wait for the room to slon I feel like an asshole--more so than usual

Guy drops the boots to the floor and the sound hasI shove my feet inside "Have you talked to her?" I don’t say her name I don’t need to He knows I’ve asked about her every time I’ve seen hi"

"Did she say anything?"

He squats to tiehis eyes focused on theand wanted to knohen you’d be home"

He stands up, but still doesn’t look at me

"Did she want to knohen I’d be home so she knehen to avoid my apartment?"

"She’s hurt," Guy says in explanation

"I know" I closeain"

"You can fix it," he says, but I can hear it in his voice He doesn’t really believe that anyreat lengths to ensure that

Guy exhales loudly "She stayed all night," he reht in this chair, by your side, even when the nurses told her she needed to leave She doesn’t hate you She cares about you and that’s why you were able to hurt her If she hated you she wouldn’t care that you slept with another girl directly after sleeping with her"

I cringe "I didn’t sleep with Erika"

"Semantics You ht that you and she ell acquainted And if I remember correctly, you had plans for her"

Yeah I did But now, days later and sober, I realize how co stupid those plans were I don’t want Erika I never did I just wanted her to erase the fucked up shit stuck in et Lucy

Because I should forget

"It doesn’taway Hell, I’irl has h and rub my forehead "Where the hell is the doctor? I want out of here"

Guy settles into the chair and observes et here when he can While ait, why don’t you explain toshit can be different"

I roll lare "Why don’t we not do that?"

"You knoant you to be happy, right?" he asks

I look away and laugh sarcastically "We can’t all be gay"
