Judy's POV

A second chance.

Her words rang in my head long after I left. Chester was waiting for me in the car when I returned. He was respectful enough to remain quiet for most of the drive; I knew both our minds were deep in thought. My heart had been shattered a million times over this past week, but in that one moment, when Rachel told me she wanted a second chance with Gavin, the shattered pieces of my heart were stepped on with the black pumps she was wearing that insinuated her long legs and gorgeous legs.

There was a tight knot in my throat as I breathed; I was unable to swallow it down. It only grew with each passing breath. I was numb enough that crying was off the table, but not so numb that the pain wasn't there... it was there, and it was evident.

I didn't bother saying goodbye to Gavin when I left. I let Rachel give me a hug; her fluorescent perfume invaded my nose... I hated that she smelled so good. Even I was drawn to her. When she released me, she gave me a warm smile and told me to take car eof myself. She also said she hopes to see me around again soon... when I'm doing tutoring sessions with Matt, that is.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Chester finally asked, breaking through the silence that consumed us. Instead of taking me back to the mansion, I asked him if he could just take me back to my family home. Being around anything Gavin-related was going to destroy me even further. I didn't want any reminders of him right now.

"Not really," I admitted, my eyes fixed out the window.

I could feel his unease beside me, and then from the corner of my eye I saw him nodding.
