Even someone who hurt me once upon a time.
* * *
Before I go to bed, I check my phone. I have new messages from Tom, Meg, and even Pete and old messages from my mom updating me on her ETA.
Nothing from Drew.
I send an "I'm fine" text to the potentially concerned parties.
I'm not ready to talk to Drew, but I'm sure he's going out of his mind worrying about me telling my mom.
I can't bring myself to make him suffer. Even if he fucking deserves it.
I send him a short message.
Kara: I told my mom. Don't call or reply or anything. I'm still not ready for a no.
