"He was lying to me Ri. Everything he told me was a lie. He probably found out that the lady was here and lied about something back home to get me off of him. I'm so stupid." I talked to my brother about the situation. As sad as it was, I wasn't crying.

"You aren't stupid Tasia. Some boy you liked wants to play around, you're lucky you found out."

"You're terrible at making people feel better."

"I'm sorry, but really. If you aren't crying about him now, that means that there is a chance that you suspected something before."

I was silent. I sat still on the chair and looked out at the distance. I thought I was crazy every time I thought one of his phone calls were a little too flirty to fit into him just being nice. I did know something could have been up, but I held on tighter in hopes that it would make him change his mind about the decision he made.

"Tasia?" Ricco brought me back into reality.

"I'm here." I sighed. I didn't really want to be. I'm tired of this trip. When I wasn't worried about Colton's shit, I was worried about some work shit. The only time I feel okay at all here is with Taraji.

"If anything else happens, let me know. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Ok. I love you big bro."

"Love you too, Tasia. Stay safe." I put my phone on the table next to me and laid back. I thought about calling Taraji, but I'm pretty sure she needs some space from me. I've been holding on to her like she was leaving me too. I had my blanket over my legs as I stared outside at the rain.

A rainy day is the perfect day to be inside in the arms of your lover. There have been so many days like this where Colton and I would just lay in each other's arms. Nothing sexual or implying so. It was just the two of us and the weather cycle. I know that Colton had love for me, but I can't help but think that if I were to call it quits one day, he probably has another woman laid up waiting somewhere for him to leave me.

My nerves are as terrible as they were when I decided to start looking into Colton's disappearance. I remember how singing to Taraji helped calm me down. It helped me do something else that I didn't admit to her, but she probably knew.

I started to sing quietly to myself, not fully confident in my voice. "What goes around comes back around, hey."

I sang the notes to Best Thing I Never Had in hopes of it making me feel better. I did spend a few years with the man. But at least I didn't exchange vows with him. To think that I wanted to propose to this man at the end of our time here. He doesn't deserve me, or his rich as perfect life he got from his family fortune, he doesn't deserve happiness. Every word that I sang out made me feel free and open.
