... hands. “I don’t know, Jack. I mean, if you want, I can talk to her tomorrow but right now, let’s give her some space. Okay?” “Okay.” She walked over and said, “Get your butt up.” I stood and she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. “Jack, you gotta be calm about this stuff. Women aren’t as easy to understand as guys.” I snorted. “We’re easy to understand?” “Please. You get in a fight and then go for a beer. Girls…we’ll make you squirm.” She poked my sides and smirked. “We’re getting ready to have dinner. You gonna join us.” “I’m not hungry,” I replied, sighing. I felt almost as exhausted as I had the night before. “Oh, how’s Tara?” “She’s been upset pretty much all day but she’s kept it on the DL. Mom and dad haven’t noticed.” “Did you talk with her?” “I was going to. Girls’ time.” She smiled and walked to the door. “Want me to close the door?” “Yes, please.” She gave me an encouraging smile. “It’ll work out, Jack. Just gotta give it some time. Okay?” “Okay.” “Love you, bro.” “Love you, sis.” She closed the door. I wasn’t sure how I felt at that moment. Reassured? Not really. The empty feeling in my heart still gaped painfully.

I would be, too. We were bound to make each other upset at one time or another and…well, the first time was a big one but we’d be able to get through everything else much easier now that we’ve been clocked with a brick wall. I hope. A thought occurred to me and I quickly opened my laptop. I pulled up Facebook and checked Kayla’s relationship status. It still said she was in a relationship with me. The weight on my shoulders lifted slightly. Yeah, maybe she just hadn’t been on her computer all day but I was going to be optimistic about this. It was still a good sign. I had a shot to get through this. I still wasn’t feeling very social so I spent the rest of the night in my room, poking around online, checking my phone and Facebook occasionally to see if Kayla had messaged me. Yeah, I know, I was supposed to be patient, but that just meant I wasn’t hounding her for a response. I could still check every…few seconds or so. That’s fine. Dad knocked on my door at one point to ask if I wanted some dinner. “No thanks,” I called back, my voice breaking out of the sullen monotone it had been stuck in most of the day. “Okay.” There was a pause. “Jack…you doing all right?” I thought about it. “Not really,” I replied, “But I’ll get there.” “Good. And if the worst happens…let us know, okay?” And there it was. The ...
