KIERAN
Nobody was picking my calls.
Since the day Archie walked out on me in the bar, he had been ignoring me. He rejected my calls, put my texts on delivered, and acted like we had not been best friends for years.
I had even tried to call Edwina out of desperation, but she didn't pick up too. Guess I deserved that.
I tried reaching out to Charlotte, to see if things were good on that front. The words Archie said that night kept torturing me.
And Charlotte might be annoying, but she had always been there for me whenever I needed her. So I called her number, desperate to know if everything was good between us.
"What are you calling me for, Kieran?" she snapped the moment she picked up.
Her voice was cold and harsh, so vastly different from the playful mocking tone I had been used to.
"Are you mad at me, Charlotte?" I asked.
"What do you think?" she responded in the same tone, and I knew I had fucked up.
