Chapter Seventeen

　　After three days of being on bed rest, Christopher finally stepped out of his apartment. To Chris, it wasn’t really a bed rest because he drowned himself with work since it was the only thing that could keep his mind off Naomi. He sent her text messages which did not deliver and when he finally had the nerve to call her, it went straight to voicemail.

　　Susan, his younger sister had been the one taking care of him. The bumps on his face had gone down, the bruises had faded but not completely and his jaw pains finally went away today.

　　Christopher had not seen Vivian since he came back from California, neither had he picked up her calls or replied to any of her text messages, he just read and ignored them. The more he thought about his painful breakup with Naomi, the more his hatred for Vivian increased.

　　Since it was chilly outside, Christopher settled for a dark long sleeve shirt with matching pants.
