When someone was biased, nothing you did was right.
Luckily, I no longer had to worry about what he thought.
When my girl friends heard I was dumping Chase and heading overseas, they were stunned.
They knew too well how pathetic I used to act around him.
When they realized I was finally waking up, they almost set off fireworks
They took turns cursing at him; apparently, they’d disliked him for ages.
To send me off right, we finished one round of drinks, then hit a karaoke room, staying out until two in the morning.
When I came home, Chase hadn’t gone to sleep.
He sat on the sofa with a dark expression. “Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
I replied lightly, “Maybe I didn’t notice it.”
His expression turned even worse. “Astraea, I haven’t eaten anything yet.”
I slid through a silly clip a friend sent and nodded with no real focus.
“Then order takeout. At this hour, the rider should get here quickly.”
Once he couldn’t keep it in anymore, his voice got louder, with a bit of a wronged tone.
“My stomach acts up… I can’t eat takeout.”
I finally looked up from my phone, irritation plain in my eyes.
