Seeing Lottie again is like a kick in the gut.
I thought that I would be in charge the next time that I faced her. I thought that I would be calm and have a solid plan. Instead, itâs happening on the most stressful day of my life. Iâm not calm or in control of anything right now.
When she didnât hold the elevator, I knew that she was pissed. I could see it on her face. Her eyes were hard, filled with fury.
I know that I hurt her. I know that I fucked up. The worst part is that I donât even have a good excuse. I just panicked and didnât know how to fix any of this. I still donât.
I was upset with myself for betraying Rhett, and thatâs all that I could think about after I slept with Lottie. I was so wrapped up in feeling like an asshole to my oldest friend that I pulled back from the girl of my dreams. By doing so, I fucked up with Lottie.
I donât want to hurt Rhett or ruin our friendship, but I think I did that when I slept with his little sister. I never wanted to hurt Lottie, but I did that when I slept with her and then disappeared. Either way, I did the one thing I never wanted to do and hurt both of them.
I donât think I could have won or gotten away without hurting one of them, but Iâve realized that I should have chosen Lottie. I canât live without her, especially not now that Iâve had her. I need her in my life. Iâve learned that in the last few weeks.
I take a deep breath as I walk into Rhettâs room with Theo hot on my heels. He had dropped me off at the door while he parked the car, but by the time I figured out Rhettâs room number, he had caught up to me.
âHey,â I greet the room as I walk in, my eyes straying to Lottie before they lock on Rhett. âHow are you doing?â
âIâm fine. Really,â he says, giving Lottie a look when she steps closer to him.
Being face-to-face with Rhett just brings everything to the forefront for me. I know I will need to come clean and tell him that I slept with his sister. Should I do it now, though? Or wait until heâs on the mend more and at least out of the hospital.
Once again, Iâm back to that weird state where it feels like Iâm not on solid ground. Iâm used to having a plan. Iâm used to getting orders, following a plan of attack, and things running smoothly. Itâs part of the reason why I love the military. Itâs the complete opposite of my childhood, and Iâve grown used to the routine of that career, and I miss it now that Iâm in this situation.
I look over to Lottie again, and I canât put my finger on it, but Lottie seems different. She looks tired, and guilt starts to eat away at me.
