Promise Me Not

by Meagan Brandy

I yelp, spinning on my heels to find Mason standing in the doorway in nothing but a towel, water dripping from every inch of him.

jesus, did he take a five second shower???

Now she hears me coming and off she goes, a sudden appointment or event or urge for a coffee she can’t make herself. But why? What happened?

istg if this is some bullshit where she showed up on campus to surprise him and saw him with someone except nothing actually happened but she just assumed something did, imma be PISSED

“Chase,” I whisper. “I need you.”

oh ffs she called chase again??? jesus christ woman

I realize now that while I was so busy trying to protect myself from the possibility of losing Mason, something I know I would never survive, I was the one making it a reality.

fucking duh
