mouth.
“Wait-” I croaked, but he was already turning away, skipping the elevator and heading for the stairs.
“Yeah, you’d better leave. She isn’t yours, bro, ” Tyler said, emphasizing the word like the patronizing jerk he was. His hand clamped down on my shoulder, holding me back.
I wrenched free and looked to Tyler with disgust. He wore that smug little smirk that I hated so much. I should have chased after Mallet, grabbed him, made him understand, kissed him again. But I was glued there in place, mouth gaping, eyes stuck on the hateful curve of Tyler’s mouth.
“It’s time for us to be together again,” he said with a light shrug. “It’s obviously been what you really want.”
Tyler did this. He used my phone.
Did it even really matter? This was all my own fault. My head spun and my knees shook with the realization. I’d been stringing them both along. I’d led them both on without even knowing it. I’d been completely confused an unsure up until that very afternoon.
But that was no excuse.
I should have told Tyler to bug off that first time he said he missed me; I shouldn’t have tried getting closer to Mallet before getting my shit together; I should have moved out.
After another moment spent blinking dumbly, I finally got my feet moving and stepped into the hall, but Mallet was gone. Jogging down the stairs and out onto the street already, no doubt. I would never catch up.
Shit. Shit! What the hell have I done?!
