the bin again. This time Hayden helped me push aside my hair as I slumped. “So disgusting,” I murmured wanting to cry. I had never in my entire life been like this. My mind, body and heart was a mess. I had never felt so unstable and insane before. I didn’t even feel like me anymore.
“Your sister just called me. I am taking you back to Ithaca with me tonight. I have to come back this Sunday anyway because I have a conference here so it doesn’t faze me,” he said.
“I can drive,” I murmured. I steadied myself and made sure that I no longer felt ill.
“In this state, I don’t think so. Besides, it’s not like Megan gave me an option. Oh, where do I buy that Tupperware container shit from?” He asked.
A smile stretched over my face. “You lost one didn’t you,” I accused. I looked up at him no longer feeling ill and felt as if the color was coming back to my cheeks. He gave me a haunted look.
“I’m just curious,” he said trying to palm it off.
“It can be ordered online,” I teased with a knowing smile. His eyes widened as he cursed under his breath.
“Of all the things I had to lose it had to be her damn containers,” he cursed. I sat up straight in my chair again, no longer feeling ill. The door opened and Damon tried to make sense of what was happening. He burrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Hayden shot up no longer crouching near my side.
“I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been called to a meeting in San Francisco and I could only book a flight for lunch today. I-” he seemed lost for words.
“That’s fine,” I said in a low tone. We both looked at one another longingly but there was also a lot of hurt. We didn’t know how to talk to one another right now. It was so unlike us. Something was happening and driving a wedge between us. I was the cause of this and yet I didn’t know how to mend it. I still couldn’t justify why I felt so insecure and betrayed.
Nae peeked from behind Damon with no understanding of the tension. “I accidently bought an extra chicken wrap if anyone wants it.”
Damon, Hayden and I all looked at one another with friction.
“I will leave you to it then,” Damon said and walked back out. I wanted to chase after him, but there was a firmness in my ego. Maybe this space was just what we needed. My heart raced and pained over the thought.
Nae watched Damon as he left and looked between Hayden and me.
“I’ll have it,” Hayden said trying to break the tension. He put his hand on my shoulder and mouthed if I were okay. I nodded to him trying not to let the tears that felt like they boiled, roll over.
“I’m only next door if you need me,” he said. “If not, I will pick you up at four. Come on Nae.”
“Oh, I thought I had to sit with Clover today,” she said genuinely surprised. She seemed rather eager for it.
“Nah, you’re stuck with me for another day. You can have Clover next week,” Hayden said closing the door behind him. I wanted to call out to him and tell him that I was fine. I felt like I was being unprofessional but couldn’t contain it anymore. My emotions were overflowing. I rested my head in my hands taking deep breaths. I had to get my thoughts together and revert back to the normal sane Clover, pronto.
Chapter Eleven
I had fallen asleep in the car while Hayden drove. I felt mentally exhausted, but when I woke up on the outskirts of Ithaca, I grew excited to see my family. Nothing had changed much since I last returned three months ago when Damon and I
