"What happened?"
It's out of her mouth the moment she closes her door. I knew she'd ask, but I'm still processing everything myself, still trying to understand how Alex and I ended up going so far when we both knew we shouldn't, when we both knew he wasn't available.
I throw my face into my hands, crying into them.
"Oh my God, Autumn - what happened?"
I shake my head.
"Something obviously happened." She starts the car, not willing to drop it. And she won't. She'll keep asking until I give her something because I owe her that much. She was having a great time with Corey, and she left to be with me, to make sure I was okay. She deserves to know.
