The Heartbroken - S01 E154

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 154

“Really,” he tried, trying to convince

me to move away from the driver

side door. “I won’t have to apply

pressure with the wounded area.”

Still, I wouldn’t budge, so he

grudgingly agreed to let me drive.

The fact that I had to drop him off

at his house and bring his car

home with me didn’t exactly help

with his mood. He didn’t speak until

we reached his house, and even

then, he seemed reluctant to say

goodbye.

When I got home, I did my best to

climb up my room as quietly as

possible so Mom wouldn’t wake up.

Then, as soon as I was tucked into

the bed I left unmade earlier, I

pulled my phone out and sent him

a text.

Thank you for tonight. How’s your

foot?

It didn’t take long for him to reply.

Oh, you know, I think it’s still

PMSing.

I laughed out loud; the kind of

incontrollable laughter that rose

almost involuntarily, and I knew

there was no use denying it now.

Somewhere along the past few

weeks, I had started to inch closer

to the edge of a cliff, and I had no

idea what was waiting for me at

the bottom.
