“How the
hell should I know why she hasn’t stopped by this week?” I defend. “She’s
probably just busy preparing for her mid-terms or some shit.”

I’ve had enough. Enough of him, enough of her, and enough of our pointless
frustrating conversation. I stand up from my chair and march out the front
door.

“For fuck’s

really how you want to finish our discussion?”

Vince is my
best friend. I broke his trust by falling for his sister, and I’ve been lying
to him about it because pretending that my feelings aren’t real is better than
the outcome of telling him I broke my promise. And the worse part of it all: he
has every right not to trust me. I could never be the man Aubrey deserves. From
the day I was born, destiny has made sure I would be spending my entire life
being deprived of that luxury.
