CHAPTER 43

  Kyler

  I remove Julia’s arms from around me and climb out of bed. It was three o’clock in the morning. What the hell was I thinking I planned to go out and get drunk, hoping she would be gone by the time I got back. Except it didn’t work that way. I had two drinks, headed home, and she was still there. My plan was for us to talk without fighting. It started well, but talking went to arguing, and somehow, we went from shouting to taking each other’s clothes off, ending up in bed. It was like at that moment, I lost all sense, and everything else was forgotten. I hated myself for it. That was one of the many reasons I put an ocean between Julia and me, to stop shit like this from happening.

  I made sure to be quiet as I left the room. The last thing I wanted to do was wake Julia up. I needed time to think! I grab a bottle of water from the kitchen and went to the living room. I spot my phone on the table. I hadn’t looked at it since this afternoon. I noticed a text from Paisley!
