Chapter 58

*Damon*

I was miserable and that was putting it nicely. I felt like I was suffocating without her but I needed to get out of LA. However, in doing so I also had to get away from her which hurt more than anyone can imagine. Things had escalated drastically and we were not in a good place.

I couldn’t tell you the number of times I picked up my phone to text her or call her and tell her that I loved her and that I was coming back to her.

But every time I mustered up the courage to text her I always deleted the words on the screen.

She was back from Canada, that much I knew but other than the fact that she was at home I didn’t know how she was feeling, if she was feeling even half of the misery I was.

I had seen her texts and her calls but I couldn’t ever bring myself to answer them. I had been the one to do the chasing. I had been the one to always try and fix things and I wanted her to meet me halfway for once.

I wanted her to show me that she wanted this to work. I needed to see that I was still a priority for her. But the waiting was killing me.

I laid on the hotel bed looking up at the ceiling wondering how I let it all get to this point. But as I slowly divided deeper into the deep waters of heartache and depression my phone cut through the thick fog drawing me back to reality.

Lacey: Hey bozo

I had been drowning in my own depression and Lacey was a literal gift from the heavens.

Me: Hello knucklehead

Lacey: Cute… you’re not funny.

Me: You started it. Anyway, what’s up? How can I be of service to you today?

Lacey: Open the door.

I was confused at first until I heard a knock at the door. I shook my head. Of course, she would just announce herself this way. She was a woman of flare and dramatics but who was I to judge?

I hopped off the bed, dressed in nothing but my sweats, and opened the door for my friend.
