Unfinished (Unfinished, #1)

by Shae Scott

“You’re starting to freak me out a little bit here,” I said, hoping he would get to the point or reassure me. “I know. I’m sorry. I just…I have to tell you something. I’ve been trying to find a way to tell you from the beginning of this whole thing, but then I would convince myself that it wasn’t important. But, I know that it is. I know that it will be important to you and I’m an asshole for not having told you before now.” I could almost see him running his hands through his hair in frustration. I was really nervous now. This felt too big. I had a feeling I was about to be pushed right off cloud nine. “I’m kind of involved with someone.” Yep, there it was. The world around me stopped and I was frozen. I was pretty sure that I had just stepped into an episode of the twilight zone, or maybe I was being punked. That would be so much better than the instant ache that was settling onto my heart, He was with someone? With someone? What did that mean? I instantly felt like someone had thrown cold water all over me. “Like a girlfriend?” I managed. I heard him sigh. “Sort of,” he said.
