CHAPTER 17

  I parked my car next to Tess’ blue VW Polo; she got out and walked towards me. She hugged me tightly but briefly “Hi, I tried calling you yesterday but you didn’t pick up.” She said and I smiled apologetically. I was having a heart to heart with JT but I wasn’t about to tell her about him either.

  I suddenly flinched remembering the dozens of missed calls Brandon left on my cell and voicemails I just deleted without listening to.

  “Yeah I know, I’m sorry, I was in hibernation” I said and she chuckled “Even heartbroken you’re funny as hell, ladies and gentlemen the amazing Katelyn Gilbert.” She said and I bowed chuckling too, it felt good.

  I was making progress, Friday was starting to fade like a bad dream but I knew seeing him today was going to set me back a few steps.

  I felt like I was being watched but when I looked around nothing was out of the ordinary and no one seemed to be paying attention to me.

  Tess and I made our way up the steps and into the building.
