not turn on."
“Well…” Lacey began “How do you feel about what happened with Wyatt?”
Jane furrowed her brows in confusion. Didn’t Lacey understand this was the solution to all of her problems? “What do you mean?” She answered.
“Are you sure you and Wyatt are right for each other?” There. She said it out loud, Lacey thought, cringing as Jane stared at her open-mouthed.
“That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Of course we are right for each other."
“I mean are YOU really happy with Wyatt?” Lacey went on.
“I’ve only been unhappy right now without him,” Jane cried.
“Are you going to ditch me again if you get back together?”
Jane exhaled. She could not deny that she had absolutely chosen Wyatt in her life over Lacey. But doesn’t that happen with a lot of couples? You start dating someone seriously and have different interests as a couple than you once had as a single person. Maybe it was just inevitable that she and Lacey would outgrow each other. However, she could not deny that when every other person in her life had failed her, it was Lacey that she ran to.
The long silence was enough for Lacey
“Forget about it. Do what you want." She muttered.
“Wait!” Jane replied. “I don’t know how it will work, but I can tell you one thing. If Wyatt and I do get back together, I will not allow our friendship to be affected like I did before. I promise. Besides, Wyatt probably will not want anything to do with me. He must think I’m ignoring him."
Hopeful, Lacey asked “You don’t think he would believe you didn’t have your phone on you?”
“I don’t know,” Jane said, still looking at her phone miserably.
“Well if you do get back together, what needs to change so that a repeat of whatever happened at the beach doesn’t just happen again?” Lacey asked.
She had a point, Jane thought. She did love Wyatt but had no such attachment to his parents. Plus, they had all actually considered she had been making advances to random people on the beach. How could he ever think that? And, if she could not trust him, what hope would they even have in getting married?
She still had not told Lacey everything that had happened down at the beach house. Besides, if she told her now it would possibly poison her opinion of Wyatt or his family. She decided to wait and see what Wyatt had said, if anything, once her phone was charged. Her phone chirped with life as it turned itself on. She watched it go through all of the startup functions. Leaving it still plugged in, she checked her voicemail first. Multiple messages. The first was from her mother. Delete. She already knew what her mother wanted.
The next one was from Wyatt, and he had called on the day she had arrived at Lacey’s. He had said that he was upset at the way they had left things, and he felt he had acted rashly in asking her to leave and to call him. The next message was from Wyatt again about four hours after the first message. He had reiterated wanting her to call and had even apologized this time.
The next message was also from Wyatt a day after his first two messages. He was becoming put off that she had not called back, yet he still seemed apologetic and asked her to call. The tone of the next call was of a marked difference to the others. It was more of a: who did she think she was to not have called back by now? Oh no. The next message was from her mother, half-concerned for her because they had no clue where she was and half letting her know Wyatt had called, and she would not be the girl she had raised if she did not call that nice, young man back pronto.
That was the last message. Next, Jane went to check her text messages. There were a bunch and all from Wyatt and none providing any new information. And worse, there were no messages following his last voicemail. She cringed and dialed his number. He answered on the second ring. She went on to explain where she was and how she had not had her
