“How’d it happen?” I ask.
“They were both pretty torn up about you, and everything. I guess they were comforting each other and got a little too enthusiastic or something, I don’t know. I wasn’t thrilled about it when she told me, but if it means anything to you, I think they’re both happy.”

My texts are a history of everything I’ve missed, my responses as absent from the record as I was in the world.

Tlkd to ur mom. Will try to come and c u.
I can’t help but smirk at Lilly’s assertion that she’s only going to try to come see me, as if my fall from grace had bumped me down on her priority list a few notches. Or maybe she was already making out with my boyfriend by then.
From Heath
Talked to Lilly and Brooke. Don’t know what’s going on.
Please call me.
At school. Everyone is saying different things and asking me questions. I don’t know what to tell them. Call me.
Got home and my mom said she talked to your mom. I don’t know what to think.
That’s the last text I have from my boyfriend, that he doesn’t know what to think. I’m sure it was excruciating for him.
