章 74: Regret Lies In A Message

Summer sent me a message last night, but I never returned one. Well, she sent me half a sentence; I honestly thought that she was playing for me, so I did not bother to answer.

I am mad, and my heart is broken…again.

How do you return to your life after something like this? What do I do with my life now? What do I do with myself now? I am a broken, messed up man.

So I reach in my pocket for my phone, hoping that Summer has changed her mind. There is nothing. I need to get away from this. I decided to give Steve a call. 

"Hey, Steve."

"Hey, Austin."

"Do you want to meet at the pub for a few?"

"Of course, see you in half an hour."

If anyone can make sense of anything, then it is Steve. So half an hour later we meet at a pub down the road from me.

"So, Austin, what happened?"

"She left me, Steve."

"Is she gone back home?"

"No, I am not sure. I have phoned her brother and sister, but they have not seen her."
