Hannah’s face instantly went pale. Before she could answer
CRASHI
Jam leapt to his feet and flipped the coffee table.
Beer bottles shattered across the floor. Everyone froze, eyes wide as they took in Jason’s thunderous expression.
“You ask a girl a question like that, and you think that’s fucking okay?” be marled.
Bryce sobered up instantly, his face ben as he stared down at the floor.
Hannah stood up, ber voice trembling. “I’m not feeling well. I should go “
She turned and hurried out the door.
Jason kicked a broken bottle across the rooms and muttered coldly, “I need a smoke.” Then he stormed out after her.
As soon as he left, everyone erupted.
What the hell? Stan was just joking around about his own hookups. Why did he lose his shit over that question?” Derek asked.
“Are you actually that dere?” Tyler lowered his voice. “It’s one thing to joke about himself, but some people are off–limits, you get it?”
Tyler and the others had just finished explaining when they noticed Relay sitting there, her face drained of all color. No one said another word
Kelsey stood and walked out.
When she reached the treat of the house, she saw Jason and Hannah arguing by Hannah’s car.
Hannah threw a paper bag on the ground between them. “No thanks. I don’t accept gifts from guys who already have girlfriends.”
“Comeco
– Jason’s voice was frustrated but pleading. “Your roommate told me you’ve been fighting a cold. I know you’re busy with wadition prop. but you can’t ignore your health. What if it gets worse?”
Hannah pressed her lips together in silence.
Jason picked up the bag and pushed it into her hands.
“Please, Just take care of yourself, okay?”
Standing off to the side, Kelsey finally couldn’t bear to watch anymore. She turned away.
So this was what different treatment looked like.
Hannah gets a slight cold, and he rushes to bring her medicine.
When Kelsey mentioned having a fever, all he could think about was how “hot” her body would feel during sex
Someone makes one crude comment about Hannah, and he flips a table in rage.
Yet Kelsey was fair game for disgusting jokes in front of everyone.
Love versus using someone. The difference was devastating.
Tears welled up again as her phone rang. She answered mechanically and beard her mother’s excited voice
“Sweetheart! I booked our flights. We’ll leave together next week”
“Oh, and I just remembered–didn’t you mention you were dating someone? You said you wanted to introduce him to us. With you studying abroad, what will happen with your boyfriend?!
Chapter 3
Kelsey looked back to see Hannah driving away, with Jason standing there watching her car until it disappeared down the r
She turned away, her voice barely able. “It doesn’t matter. We broke up
Jason
I won’t love you anymore.
Not even a bit
The next day.
Kelsey went to the clinic for a physical exam. Medical care abroad could be complicated, and she wanted to make sure everything was okay before
As she walked out with her test results, the nearly collided with Hannah and Jason in the waiting room.
“Kelsey?” Jason looked startled
Hannah spoke first, her voice cool. “Jason, I told you that you didn’t need to come with me. I can check in myself”
She walked toward the reception desk, leaving them alone. That’s when Jason noticed the papers in Kelsey’s hand.
His brow furrowed.
“Why are you at the clinic? You’re not…” Jason’s expression suddenly changed. “You’re not pregnant, are you?”
Kelsey hesitated, then realized the clinic’s general exam area was right next to the OB–GYN department
That’s why he’d jumped to that conclusion
She started to deny it, but then a thought crossed her mind, and she changed course
“What if Tam?” she asked
