My Twin Flame

Chapter Thirty One

I walked into my room and sat down on the bed. It felt different, like cold and uninviting. Not like the cozy place it was when we first checked in.

I am not sure how long I was just sitting on the bed numb to everything that had transpired in the last week. I knew it was time to put myself back together and get ready to go home to my reality. I Grabbed my tablet and snuggled under the blankets. Turned on the television and started on some emails. I wanted to get as much done as I could so I wouldn't be swamped on Monday when we got back in the office.

As I was confirming my appointments I started thinking of Shell. I probably should let her know that I am back at the room so they can get me from here to head to the airport. I grabbed my phone and unlocked it. My background was just another clue to me that it was not going to be easy to erase this trip from my mind. I had changed it to the picture of me and Trent Parasailing. I was pleased to see how big my smile was and to see that he was smiling at me. After looking at it a few more moments I changed it back to the kids and proceeded to text Shelly.

"Hey just and fyi you can meet me at our room to fly out. I have everything packed. I am staying here tonight."

I set my phone down and walked over to get my old friends out of the suitcase. My yoga pants and oversized t-shirt. I barely made it back over to the bed when my phone began to chime.

"Good, I am proud of you. I know you are upset with me but this is for the better. This only means trouble and you know this. Cutting ties with him again is best I am sorry you are hurting but it will be ok I promise"

Reading her text just annoyed me even more, I don't know why she thinks she knows that is best for me. She never even met Trent till this trip. Yes, she picked up the pieces of the mess I got into with him as a kid, but I wasn't a kid anymore.

I picked up my phone and decided to throw all caution to the wind and say fuck it! I was going to spend my last night with Trent. I opened up the text message and paused. As I thought more and more staring at that cursor I couldn't bring myself to text him. I put my phone down and picked up my tablet.

I worked until my eyes were tired and decided to get a drink. I walked up to the resort bar and got a glass of wine. I sat there quietly to myself when Shelly, Ed and Trent walked in.

He just glared at me. His eyes looked strange, almost like he had too much chlorine in them. He quickly looked away as Shelly started to head towards me. "Hey, do you want to go sit outside with me? We don't have to be around them. It's probably better if you guys avoid each other. Makes it easier to cut ties. I was telling Trent the same thing.

This really made my blood boil. "NO WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU TO KEEP YOUR GOD DAMN NOSE ON FOR FACE FOR JUST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" The look on her face was pure horror as I threw the money down, swigged the last swallow of wine and turned on my heels to leave.

I power walked all the way back to my room. I was so angry. Who is she to feel she always has to micromanage my life? I am a big girl and I can take care of myself. I paced back and forth in my room till I could feel grooves wearing down on the floor.

I was so tired of everyone having such an opinion over my life. My dad, when I was a kid, sent me away from Trent. Elliot always made me feel I had to be this model wife and tv mom. Shelly is always thinking she knows what is best for my love life. Even Trent just assumed he would become a part of my life. Oh and what was that crap about not being good enough. I was the one that was never good enough for him. I wasn't in the same class as his skater, badass friends.

As I continued to pace there was a knock on my door. More like a pounding. Just as I went to answer it I could hear Trent on the other side. "Come on, open the door, I know you're in there! Brooklyn open the goddamn door!"
