CANNEL

I was dumb

I’d blown up over nothing because I was insecure, and I’d done it in such a spectacular way that I didn’t know if I could come back from it

And, to be completely honest, I was still mad

I didn’t expect him to follow me

He did have to work, no matter if I wanted him to or not, but he could’ve at least tried to call me Or come see me

It’d been teeks and I was still waiting for a call that I had a feeling wasn’t going to come

I glared atht was my stupid boyfriend—wouldn’t

I gritted my teeth and was about to throw the entire damn phone into the trash when another text came up

Deter hated her, I pulled the phone into the pallared

Unknown: You look pretty when you cry, whore

I fucking hated her

“Well, at least I’rumbled

Then, for good measure, I sent that in a text

Me: At least I haven’t slept with half the depart married men At least I didn’t leave a sexy beast of athat will never be mine

There was a long pause, and then the unknown number texted back

Unknown: You don’t knohat you’re talking about Brianna hasn’t slept with half the department

My brows rose in surprise

All this time…

Me: Uh, Ibut bad things to say about ‘Brianna’ You (she) have slept with so es, that they’re considering getting rid of you because you’re bad for morale

Unknown: That’s bullshit She wouldn’t do that She…you’re lying

Me: I’ Brianna has literally slept with at least four that I can name Would you like those names?

The unknown nuain

But one nuh my phone almost the instant I decided to shut it off
