Even though we were never really together – not officially, not
in any real way outside of his own bedroom
But I gave Kent the ultimatum. I told him to tell me the truth, to trust me, or I was gone.
And he made his choice.
And I realize the finality of that as I walk through the cold underground passage at the bottom of the house, grief sweeping through me, replacing my rage. By the time I pull myself up the winding staircase to my room, and push through the door in the back of my wardrobe, tears are streaking down my face.
“Fay!” Daniel gasps and I jump a little as I step into my room and see him sitting on my bed. I hadn’t realized that he was here that he was going to see me like this. “Are you – what’s wrong? What happened?”
“Nothing,” I murmur, hiccoughing a little. But I immediately prove this a lie as I start to cry harder. Daniel sighs and comes to wrap his
arms around me.
“What did he do?” Daniel asks quietly, angry now. “What did he say to you?”

“Nothing,” I insist, pushing away from him a little, not wanting to talk about it.
“Seriously, Fay – what

“Daniel,” I sigh, looking up at him with an honest plea on my face. “I just – I don’t know. I haven’t even processed – I think he broke up with me? But I need…“.
Daniel gasps and glares at the door, but I sigh, realizing that… that is not the energy I need. Slowly, I raise a hand to Daniel’s cheek and turn his face back to me.
“Can I – Daniel, do you think I can be alone tonight?” I ask softly. “I just want to cry in my bed. Alone. Okay?”
“Are you sure?” he asks softly, his voice all sympathy and concern. “I can come back – bring snacks, wine, we can trash Kent all night-
laugh a little despite myself but shake my head. “Honestly, Daniel,” I sigh. “I just…want to be alone. I want to go to sleep.”
“Okay,” Daniel says softly, and as I turn into the bathroom to take a long hot shower, I hear him move to the door.
“I love you, Fay,” he calls to me gently. I turn to smile a little at my best friend.
“I know,” I reply. “I love you too.”

And he quirks one side of his mouth at me before passing through my bedroom door and leaving me alone.

As soon as he goes, the grief hits me like a wall. And I turn the water in the shower to scalding hot, and strip down, and climb in, and sit on the wet tiled floor with my head in my hands.
Wondering what the hell I’m going to do next.
