Putting Myself First

The anger that burned deep in my chest had transformed into a mix of emotions that I failed to understand. It just hurt deep inside of me.

I have to call Justin…

“Hi there!” Justin’s cheerful voice answered the phone when the line connected.

“Hi…” I greeted him blankly.

“Oh, you don’t sound so well. Did something happen perhaps?” he took a guess that was spot on.

I must have sounded like the world was ending and I wasn’t even bothered to hide my distress anymore. Justin waited silently on the other end of the line for me to tell him what was wrong. I took in a deep breath as I tried to find the right words.

“Adrian and Brandon ran into each other today. I mean, Brandon and I ran into Adrian together when he took me to take my fertility test. It was at Adrian’s hospital, and he was there…and they knew each other…and it was…a mess…” I explained while realizing that a lot of the things I said didn’t quite make sense.

“Aha…right…” Justin murmured.
