Excerpt
“But
there's something amazing about you and I need to know more. Your
light, your energy, it's really awesome. And I know you've been
through a lot and you're not looking for anything serious and I get
that. But I want you to know I'd like to actually date you, and be
your friend. Be here for you like Hunter and Boone.”
She
pulls her hands away from mine. “Rhys, this is not how this is
going to work.”
“Why
not?” I ask, “Do you not enjoy spending time with me? Can you not
see us being friends? I mean we have a lot in common.” This may be
a good time to play the gallery card. “We're both artists, we're
both lonely and we're both trying to make our way in this crazy
world. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to help each other along.”
She
stands up. “No, I have friends, I'm not lonely and I don't even
really like you.”
I
try not to let it sting; I remind myself that its the hurt talking,
it's my wounded bird trying to fly away scared. “Not at all?”
There's
remorse in her eyes and I'm not sure why, I hope it's because she
realizes that what she's saying could really hurt. She inhales a
breath, “Look, I told you my life is complicated right now and I
don't need any more complications. You aren't supposed to be
complicated. You are supposed to be fun and easy, not emotional or
painful. If you can't be fun and easy, then I'm done.” She turns
toward the door.
“Wren,
please wait.” I reach for her hand. “I know you don't want a
relationship and I get that. It isn't what I'm asking for, I'm just
asking for us to be friends.”
“I
don't fuck my friends.” She spits the words.
“I
know what you've been through—” She cuts me off.
“You
don't know shit. You have no idea what I've been through in my life.”
She shakes her head in anger.
“I
want to.” I say it quietly and it gives her pause.
“Yeah,
you're making way too much of this. You've got to go. I'm sorry that
Boone and Hunter lured you up here where you didn't belong. You don't
belong in this part of my life, not now, not ever. And since you
can't seem to get that through your head, you're done. Don't call,
don't text, don't anything.” She goes through the door and gives it
a good hard slam.
I
smile even though this didn't go as I hoped. But that's okay, at
least she said she was sorry, right?
