Chapter Sixteen

Liz

Bobby: Jake came over to the shop today and spoke to Dad

Dad said he was looking for you, asking how to get in contact with you

Dad told him to come back and find me

****

Bobby: Jake has been blowing up my phone with text messages

How did he even get my phone number?

It’s not like we were ever friends

****

Bobby: Jake came by the shop today again

I saw him and told him I was busy and couldn’t talk

Not sure how long I can avoid him

****

Bobby: Jake found me today while I was on lunch break

I had nowhere to run

He said he wanted to talk to you but that you wouldn’t talk to him

I said if you don’t want to talk to him he needs to leave you alone

He said it was important and that I needed to tell him where you were

I said I didn’t need to do shit, he’s the one who broke off the engagement

He said he’d be back

That he has the right to talk to his fiancée

WTF??
