Evie （Chapter）
Evie
Idropped some freezer meals off at Brandon’s this afternoon as a sort of unofficial apology. I figured he’s been exhausted between work and single-dadding. He hasn’t been answering my calls or texts, so I just showed up and left them on the front porch.
I’m starting to get a little paranoid about his silence. It’s been dragging on and on . . . I’ve been waiting for weeks, thinking he might reach out to talk, but he hasn’t yet. Then today, he didn’t answer the door when I dropped off the meals, but his car was in the driveway.
Is he ignoring me? And if he is, why? What did I do wrong? I haven’t told anyone about that night, like we agreed. I know I said some hurtful things, but so did he. I know he didn’t mean it when he said we couldn’t see each other anymore. I just know it.
Maybe he thinks I’m expecting it to happen again, and he doesn’t want that?
I don’t care if it happens again or not.
At this point, I just want my best friend back.
I miss him. And I haven’t been feeling that good recently.
My back has been hurting more than usual, and I keep getting sick.
’Tis the season for all kinds of illnesses, but it’s been dragging on for so long that I’m getting a little concerned. Ugh.
