“What did she want?”
“Was it Noah’s new girlfriend?” Brad asked, forgetting about the TV.
“She’s…she’s not…They’re not together.”
My dad raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t actually look too surprised. “Huh.”
Brad said, “Does that mean you’re going to be his girlfriend again now?”
“I don’t think so. I don’t know. We didn’t…She just wanted…”
Dad said, “I thought you said they were dating.”
“I thought they were. I mean, I just assumed…” Oh, man. I’d been such an idiot. I should’ve trusted him. I should’ve believed him.
“Yeah. Well. What’re you going to do? Are you going to talk to him?”
I huffed, pursing my lips for a moment. “I don’t know, Dad, jeez.”
“I just don’t want you to do anything stupid.”
“What, like get back together with him?”
“No, like get your heart broken again.”
