gave me a venomous glare. “And choosing not to live is the biggest one.” He walked out and slammed the door behind him, making the walls shake.
     
    As the week passed, I felt myself fall apart. Now I didn’t even feel safe in my own home. My thoughts suffocated me. My longing for Scotty ripped me apart. All of this was my fault.
    I deserved this agony.
    But Scotty didn’t.
    I couldn’t count the number of times I woke up in the morning and vowed my life would be different. Starting today, it would be different. I would talk to my old friends and apologize for disappearing. I would get my old life back. I would smile again, go for a jog around the block, have a beer at a party, and just fuck up like a normal college student.
    But it never happened.
    I reverted to my old ways, keeping all the curtains and blinds closed. When people spoke to me on campus, I ignored them and walked away. I avoided group work because I hated people.
    They were all disgusting.
    I considered taking my own life…more than once.
    Ash was right. I wasn’t living. I was a waste of space. But I was too much of a coward to claim my life. Any time I thought about it, it made me sick.
    When Scotty came around, those thoughts dulled. I was happy. I laughed. I actually laughed.
    But now he was gone.
    Scotty ignored me like he usually did in psychology. That wasn’t surprising, but it hurt anyway. I spent most of my time in the library, sitting in the corner, hiding from the world like always. In the back of my mind, I hoped Scotty would talk to me again. He never did.
    When I was walking to my car, I saw two people I recognized.
    Liam and Keira were standing near the driver’s door. Liam seemed indifferent, but his fiancé seemed pissed. She stared at me like she might rip me in half. She was my height and my size, but I had a feeling she could kick my ass. I wasn’t as weak as I made myself out to be, but she clearly had the rage going for her.
    Liam put his hand on her arm. “Keira…”
    She twisted her arm out of his grasp then marched to me. “Nobody fucks with my cousin and gets away with it.” She was so angry split flew out of her mouth. “Do you get off playing with him?”
    Was that a serious question?
    “How dare you hurt him like this, constantly playing games with him? Are you an idiot? I promise you’ll never find a better guy than him.” She gave me an angry look. “And you definitely won’t find someone to put up with your bullshit. He’s done everything for you, giving you everything he’s had, and you just walk away?”
    I was speechless.
    “Do me a favor. If you don’t want him, don’t you dare call him for anything. If some lunatic comes after you, that’s a job for the police, not my cousin. Don’t ask to stay at his place, you insensitive bitch.”
    “Keira.” Liam grabbed her shoulder.
    “No.” She moved out of his hold. “And for the record, he was drunk when he ran into Amanda at the bar. She picked up on him, and depressed as hell over you, he agreed. But when they got to his place, nothing happened. She went down on him for a second then he kicked her out—because of you. And how dare you accuse him of being a liar. That’s you, not him.” She finally turned around and walked back to Liam. “Let’s get out of here. I never want to see this girl again.”
    Liam stayed behind while she walked away. Then he looked at me. “Just leave him alone, okay?” His voice was gentle, not threatening like Keira’s was. “I hoped you would tell him the real reason why you left him, but I guess you never will.” He had a knowing look in his eyes. “Take care.” He walked away, leaving me alone.
    Somehow, I felt a million times worse.
     
    Another week without Scotty was killing me. Memories of our time together came back to me. I remembered the smell of the breeze on our date at the zoo. My sheets still had his faint scent. No matter how many times I washed it the smell wouldn’t disappear. I saw his
