My family had been less than supportive when I’d called then country, alone, ht back He’d threatened to fly out and get me if necessary but thankfully I’d avoided that so far, but eren’t exactly on good terued that I should coirl to travel alone, that they’d only agreed to it because of Ja withht the first time she met hiain I foundwith theht and I really should have listened I hadn’t told them the full extent of what happened, I’d just said that we’d broken up and that I’d decided to still go The plan was just to go for teeks, because that’s how long Jamie and I had booked the hotel in Rome for, but after I made a friend, they’d convinced me that I needed to see Florence before I went home So we’d been here a week and then I’d soo to Venice, which is where ere heading to hoh I was pretty sure that everything would have been ten tihed and stirred erous places where I really shouldn’t let theht about his kisses, his smile, the warmth of his hand as he caressed my cheek, how his hard body would wrap itself around ue if I thought about it hard enough, I could still smell him and picture how his brown eyes would kind of twinkle when he laughed I missed him like crazy I didn’t hate him, it would have been so much easier if I could, but I loved him too much to think badly of him at all

Over the last three weeks I’d allowedhis decision and that he missed me too - but that call was pretty pointless anyway because his cellphone nuer in use No one had heard froone around to his place wanting to ‘speak’ to him about me, but that apparently he’d moved out and that his apartment was already rented to another tenant I had no way of contacting hiht of all

I thought about what he was doing today, if he would wake up and go to work like nor ofsomeone else already, maybe the blonde he’d cheated with… I envied her I really did He was the perfect boyfriend and if she irl I just prayed that she h in his life, he deserved to be happy even if he didn’t think he did Even though he’d ripped ed hole in my chest, I wished him well and hoped that he found that one special person that would be enough for hi on concrete snappedface of Natasha,buddy I smiled back as she nodded down at my coffee "You order me one of those?" she asked, her voice a little husky, probably froht to the karaoke

I shrugged "Not too bad actually You?"

She nodded, lifting her shades and latching her bloodshot eyes onthese off today that’s for sure," she replied sheepishly I laughed and took a bite ofthe lady at the table as now engrossed in her book anyway I’d been with Tasha for just over teeks now, and in that tireat friends She was a little older than me at twenty-two but we had a lot in coe and wanted to travel before she got a job She was on her own as well, so e hit it off in Rohts She had no distinct plans for travelling; she just wanted to see as much as possible in the next three months, so it worked out perfectly - and it was cheaper to just get one double roorandpa’s inheritance o further too I actually still had Jae where I hadn’t taken it out, but I didn’t plan on spending it though I’d have to find so it back to him, but for now I just buried it in the bottom of my case and like I did with et all about it

"You were talking in your sleep soher head "At one point I actually considered s tiood on etically I’d always thought Ja around when he told me I talked in , so maybe I really did "Sorry What was it about this time? Alien abduction?" I joked; apparently I could be pretty random at times
