I open up the text message and it's lengthy.
📱 Morgan, please talk to me. I'm so sorry things went left. That was not my intention and I'm between a rock and a hard place. I need to be here for mom and Jessa but I want to be with you. They are checking her brain waves tomorrow and if I lose her I can never leave my mom that's why I ended things with you. I'm so sorry please don't hate me because I love you.
I try not to cry and decide to look at the other texts. The first one is from Sunny.
📱 Morgan I am so worried about you please let me know that you are ok.
📱 Hey, Sunny! I know it's late and I'm sorry but today was such a bad day. Trace broke up with me but I'll be back home tomorrow and we will talk.
The next text is from Ethan.
📱 Please tell me that you are ok and not doing something stupid, please.
Why is everyone in my business? I text him back.
📱 Ethan, I'm ok... I'll be home tomorrow. We will talk then. Goodnight!
Jacoby walks out of the bathroom with a towel loosely wrapped about his delicious body.
"Sorry, I didn't take any clothes with me to the bathroom." He laughed.
"It's ok I'm enjoying the view." I smile.
"Are you ok with sleeping in the same bed together?" He asked.
"Well of course... I mean you have already seen me naked." I shrug.
He slips on a pair of boxer shorts and walks over to the bed.
"I have an early flight in the morning so I guess I should get some sleep huh?" I smile over at him.
"I guess you should. I'm home one more night and then I have to go to Colorado for a few days for work." He said.
"Does that ever get tiring?" I ask.
"It does but it's such good money but I'm never home to spend it." He laughed.
We laid in the bed and talked for an hour before I dozed off to sleep. He wanted to cuddle me and I allowed it but I cried myself to sleep quietly because I hate cuddles now.
When the clock went off at 7 am I jumped up and put on some clothes.
He woke up and walked me to the door. "I'm going to make that appointment with you so I'll text you later ok?" He said.
"Sounds good and thanks for everything last night," I said.
"You're more than welcome Morgan I enjoyed it." He said leaning in and kissing my cheek.
"Bye Jacoby! I said heading to my rental car.
I made it to the airport and I returned the car and when I turned around they were calling my flight to board. I turned and looked around hoping maybe Trace would be there waiting to explain better but he wasn't.
I didn't have any cute guy sitting beside me this time. I put my earphones on and closed my eyes and slept the whole flight.
By the time I landed, I called a Uber and headed to my parent's house where I left my bike. I knew I would have to go in and explain what happened.
"I'm back!" I said as I walked into the kitchen and saw mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table.
Mom got up and walked over to me and squeezed me tight. "Oh, Morgan! I'm so sorry are you ok?"
"No, but I will be. Look I just came to get my bike I want to go home and sleep I'm tired and just emotional." I said.
"He's already called this morning saying you won't talk to him and I told him it would be best if he just left you alone," Dad said.
"Thanks, Dad yeah he's been texting but I plan to ignore him. I will talk to yall later I love you both." I said.
"Love you too! Catch up on sleep Lanie should be here tomorrow or so." Mom said.
"Oh yeah, she did tell me that. I told her she could stay with me if she wanted to." I said.
"Oh, that's good to hear." Dad smiled.
I waved bye to them and went out to my bike and that put a smile on my face. I am now free again and riding my bike always helps.
I make it to the apartment building and see Trace's truck and just turn my head. I need to get his key and apartment key gathered up.
I head to my apartment and walk in and put my jacket and bag on the couch. I get my phone out of my bag and head to the bedroom.
I take another shower because I feel dirty after being on that plane and then I lay down with my phone.
I look through pictures of Trace and I goofing off in bed or on the couch. I can't delete them yet.
📱My phone beeps and it's Sunny. Hey, can you talk?
📱Yeah, I'll call you.
📞Hey, Sunny!
📞Morgan! I'm glad to hear your voice are you ok?
📞Not really but I guess this is what heartbreak feels like.
📞I don't understand what happened?
📞He said that with what was going on with his mom and Jessa that it wouldn't be fair to leave me hanging and he doesn't know if he's coming back.
📞Oh, Morgan! I bet it was awkward staying with him last night.
📞Oh, I didn't stay. I met this cute guy on the plane and we swapped numbers so I could tat him so I called him and he said I could stay the night with him.
📞Oh, Morgan did you?
📞I'm not proud of myself but yes. I mean fuck I had been waiting on Trace for months and well I'm back to single fuck whoever Morgan.
📞You go girl. The best way to get over a guy is to get under another one.
📞Well, I did that. But he keeps texting me I just want him to stop.
