Chapter 100: The Horny Bastard

Arthur's words hit me like a wave of relief. I almost couldn't believe it. He agreed without a fight. When did this guy grow a conscience? "I got it." I muttered quickly and headed out the door. When I got to Naomi's place, she was still a mess, sobbing like the world had ended. I sat with her, tried to comfort her, knowing this kind of heartbreak didn't just vanish overnight. It had only been two days since I last saw her, but she looked like she'd been through hell. Her dark circles were so heavy I didn't need to ask if she'd been sleeping. Obviously not, thanks to that cheating bastard Justin. I held her until she cried herself to sleep, then eased her onto the bed and lay down beside her. I was so wiped out these last two days that the second my head hit the pillow, I was out cold. Thank God I'd set an alarm, or I'd have slept straight through the day. The next morning, my alarm went off and I lunged for my phone to shut it down before Naomi woke up. She finally got some real rest.
