Chapter 9

fter Chloe got kicked out, Jason finally had the nerve to call me.

Of course, I had already blocked him, so he started spamming me with text messages, even using different numbers.

I remember one message in particular that said:

“Claire, this is all my fault, but I was just trying to protect citizens. Why are you so mad at Chloe? Why did you kick her out?”

“She’s not in a good place mentally. Please, I’m begging you. Let her stay.”

I calmly typed out my reply:

“If you care so much about your ex, why don’t you spend your money on her? It’s my card, my money. Who gave you the right to use it?”

“And do you seriously still think you did nothing wrong? There are homeless people everywhere—why don’t you go and ‘care’ for them too, Mr. Citizen Protector? You’re ridiculous!”

There are always fools telling me to be the bigger person. Well, maybe I’ll forgive him when he’s six feet under.
