Emily
Three months before . . .
I pulled off my sweaty shirt and stuffed it into my backpack. No point in
folding it when it would get washed anyway. Then I got his black sweatshirt
out of my gym locker and slipped into it.
After what everyone referred to as the incidents, my schedule had been
adjusted to include more mental health-focused classes. That meant
Strength Training, plus counseling sessions every other day. My school in
Germany didn’t care if I switched classes in the middle of the year—or that
one of them was therapy. I would have to repeat the year anyway when I
went back.
Going back . . .
The thought of it made my skin shiver. I closed my eyes, focusing on
the skittering beat of my heart. Slow and controlled breathing, Emily. You
still have time. June 16 is over three months away.
I scooped up my Converse and sat on the bench to put them on. I was
the only one left in the locker room. My muscles were shaky, exhausted
from today’s leg workout. Strength training was something my body was
still adapting to. The soreness in my muscles and the burning in my lungs, I
didn’t like it . . . but it wasn’t like I had a choice.
Eyes on the ground, I walked out of the gym the same way I had entered

wanted to see was him—and I hadn’t seen him for over two months now.
Without him, the excitement vanished. Days fell into routines, and at
night I lay sleepless with growing worry about what lay ahead—a feeling I
had once fled from now caught up with me again.
I slipped on the wet asphalt, and just in time, broad hands grabbed me
by the shoulders.
“Woah, watch where you step, German, or you’ll bang your head.”
Aiden: the only person I knew in Strength Training class. The sun
blazed behind him as he grinned at me. The perfect sunny boy.
“Thanks.”
I smiled against the knot in my stomach. Aiden was one of the few
people who didn’t treat me differently after finding out that I broke up with
Paul for Jon. All the out-of-character things I had done—breaking down,
high on drugs; going to jail. And now Jon was exiled in rehab in exchange
for getting me out of there.
Students were smoking in a corner between a couple of dumpsters,
passing each other small plastic bags. I could walk over there, make a quick
purchase, fall into clouds of denial.
I clenched my teeth. I would not allow that stupid idea to take hold.
“I was heading in too, cariño.” Aiden offered me his arms to scoop into.
I looked at him sideways. Despite his goofy character, Aiden was a
good catch. All the girls in Strength Training made sure he noticed their
