room. “Look, I’m leaving. Tomorrow. And right now, I’ve got too much to do. I just came here to tell you.” I’m not sure why I feel obligated to tell her shit, she doesn’t own me. The look on her face irritates me.
    “Why are you leaving?”
    “Because, there’s too much of my past here that I need to bury and I can’t do that when I’m constantly reminded of everything that’s happened in my life. I’m starting over, in a new place.” I’ve never told her about my past and the nightmares that haunt me to this day. I’ve never told anyone. Only Spencer and my mother know about it and what it’s done to me. Oh yeah, and my aunt. She’s the reason I’m moving. I’ll be staying with her for a short time before I look for my own place. I’m a little nervous and uncomfortable about the situation, though my aunt is a better version of my mother. Maybe she’ll give me advice I could use to move on.
    “Well, that’s a slap in the face. So were you ever going to include me or ask me to come along?” My mouth drops open, I’m baffled. Is this bitch crazy?
    “Um, I didn’t know we were taking that step. No one clued me in.” Her eyes narrow and mine do the same. “Kasey, you knew…knew we were not exclusive. I told you in the beginning, I. Don’t. Do. Relationships.” I enunciate each word as if she’s a five year old and needs to be scolded. She’s freakin’ twenty-four, not twelve.
    She places her hands on her hips, angry and I want to laugh at her. Yeah, I’m an ass I know. But it’s hard to keep a straight face when people act so childish. It’s better to laugh than to scream, which is what I really want to do. “Noah, I want to come with you. Maybe then, you’d change your mind about me.” I shake my head and move to the door, she blocks me. Holy. Shit.
    “Do I need to remove you physically? This is ridiculous, Kase. Just move on to someone that wants the same thing you do, I’m not the guy for you.” Or anyone for that matter. I closed myself off long ago.
    “Where are you moving to?”
    “Colorado, not that it’s of importance to you. But I’m staying with my aunt, at least for a little while. And then I’ll get my own place.” Why am I still here? I wave my hand at her to move and when she doesn’t budge, I clench my teeth so hard they would shatter if they were made of glass. “Fuck, Kasey get the hell out of my way. I need to leave. Quit playing these damn games, guys don’t go for that shit.”
    “You’re an asshole, Noah.” She barks. There’s one thing we agree about, the difference is I don’t care. She moves away from the door, stomping all over the place and I make my escape. Free at last.
     
     
    Last night in this town and I’m happy to be spending it at the pall hall with my buddies. Rita’s Pool Hall is our hang out spot, for New Yorkers like me. It’s a friendly establishment. Rita, a really cool biker chick opened this place years ago, it used to be a bank. It’s mostly filled with pool tables and dart boards, with tables scattered throughout. I’ve gotten my ass kicked here a few times and thrown into a table, when I was picking fights with the wrong people. But Rita took to me and always had my back. I was a trouble maker, but who wouldn’t be when their father hates their only son and their mother loves booze more than being a mother. I’m lucky I didn’t end up in prison.
    “Your shot.” Spencer calls to me. I get up off the stool and grab my stick and glide to the table. Lining up my balls properly, I figure out my next strategy to sink in my stripe.
    “I hear you’re leaving us.” A sexy female voice says from behind me and I know instantly who it is. I look up and see Jasmine, a bartender I know. She’s leaning against the pool table, a little too close for comfort. Her too short halter top droops and her boobs hang out.
    “Uh, yeah tomorrow actually.” My eyes drift over her body and my mouth goes dry. I meet her gaze and catch
