Brand New World (Jan 11)

January 11, 2016 by Mary

Emily knew she was missing something. A lot of somethings if her foggy brain was any indication. She couldn’t remember how she got to Eddie’s place, how she ended up naked except for his t-shirt, or anything that happened after Nick told her he’d met someone else.

Emily had been stupid enough to think Nick was going to propose to her. They’d been together a year, but off and on for longer than she could count. She figured he was finally ready to settle down. Especially after the text he sent her earlier in the day saying he wanted to meet her at the party and had something important to tell her.

He’d said he loved her, so she knew that wasn’t it. She was such a fool, believing he’d been telling the truth.

Annoyed with herself, Emily angrily got dressed. She pulled on the panties she’d painstakingly picked out at the store just for Nick, the matching bra that cost more than she’d ever spent on a single garment. She’d been so sure of their future this time, but Nick disappointed her again.

She should be sad, heartbroken, but she wasn’t. She was hurt, yeah, but mostly her pride. At that moment, all Emily really wanted was to move on. To stop feeling like shit for being with Nick. To feel like herself again.

Once dressed, Emily went out to Eddie’s kitchen. She’d been to his place enough that she was comfortable there, but she’d never been in his room. Leaving the bedroom she felt her world tilt back to normal, like being in his room had shifted her to a brand new world, but being in the kitchen she was back in the real world.

“Thanks for taking care of me,” Emily muttered, feeling ashamed that Eddie had to deal with her antics.

He was silent and when Emily finally looked up his eyes were serious and intent on her, staring at her as though he were upset. Shit, Emily thought, she’d ruined his night. Eddie probably wanted to take someone else home, someone who wasn’t drunk as a skunk and puking her guts out. Someone he could get naked and ring in the New Year right with.

“I’ll always take care of you, Em,” he said, his jaw ticking with his words.

The huskiness of his voice, still rough from the morning, along with the words he spoke sent a chill up her spine. If she believed him, she would wonder if there was more behind those green eyes than she’d ever seen before. But Emily knew better. Eddie was Nick’s best friend. He probably just got her out of there so Nick didn’t have to deal with her. Eddie was always doing whatever Nick asked, especially when it came to Emily.

She wished someone wanted to take care of her for her, not because they were obligated.

Ten people were taken from my city over the weeken Ten people were taken from my city over the weekend. Ten people who did nothing wrong. The person who took their lives was filled was hate and took it out on innocent people. #BuffaloNY is the City of Good Neighbors. I didn't know those ten people, but I feel their loss like the rest of my city does. We are all neighbors, and we all hurting. 

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of Aaron Salter, Ruth Whitfield, Pearl Young, Celestine Chaney, Roberta Drury, Heyward Patterson, Margus Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Geraldine Talley, and Katherine Massey; and with the survivors: Zaire Goodman, Jennifer Warrington, and Christopher Braden.
Dating your ex in a small town means everyone know Dating your ex in a small town means everyone knowing your business. Like the fact that he broke your heart. They should all be on my side, right? Too bad he’s bringing an old town hangout back to life. And getting everyone involved. And making all of us fall in love with him.
