Cam to be okay with me and Vanessa. Not confessing my love for her was harder than anything else, but doing so would only make it harder to say goodbye. One day soon, though, I would get to announce to all that Vanessa was mine.
    “Hey, Tim. What’s going on? Are you busy?” Cam asked, standing at the open doorway.
    “What’s up, Cam?” I asked, having just sent a text to Vanessa.
    “I feel like sparring today. Do you want to call it an early one?” He’d been having issues with his ex-girlfriend lately. She wouldn’t stay gone and he wanted nothing to do with her.
    “I could definitely go for a fight.” I was looking forward to having a chance at seeing her.
    “Meet me at the house in an hour. I’ve got to go get Vanessa a present before she leaves.”
    “Oh, she leaves today?” I asked, trying to not go crazy.
    “No, she leaves tomorrow morning.”
    “Okay.” He tapped the doorframe as he walked out. And I nearly did a fucking happy dance. I had one more chance to see her.

    Two hours later, Cam and I were suiting up to box. It sucked that I didn’t see her before I got here, but I texted her to let her know that I was going to be down in the gym. She told me she’d stop by when her mother and her came back from the store.
    We just started knocking each other around when Cam said, “I hope to hell she doesn’t get back with Will.”
    “Why would you think they would get back together? Was she hung up on him?” The answer mattered, even if I really didn’t want it.
    “They went out to lunch yesterday.” I duck around his next blow, but as soon as he came back up straight, I was knocking Cam on his ass. He didn’t know what happened, but when he mentioned Vanessa having lunch with Will and his parents yesterday I kind of lost my fucking cool. He crawled back to the other end of the boxing mat.
    “Damn, Cam you got laid the fuck out!” Vanessa teased from the doorway. Hearing her voice would have been music to my ears two minutes earlier, but right now, I wasn’t in the mood to ever speak to her again. After everything. After talking as often as possible and about how much we were going to miss each other, she pulled something like that. Maybe she was too young for me. Damn it, my heart doesn’t want to fucking agree at all with that shit, but the truth was a motherfucker. Will was a dead piece of shit.
    “Shut up, Van. By the way, thanks for the concern,” Cam grumbled, rubbing his face.
    I helped Cam up. “That was a good one. I wasn’t on my game and you got me good.”
    “I’m sorry. I thought you were going to the left when you went right.” I lied, I was trying to kill the messenger.
    He waved off my concern, but still called it quits. “No it’s cool. I just need to take a shower.”
    “Yes, it smells sweaty down here,” she teased again. I bet it was because Will was a little bitch and probably avoided breaking a sweat.
    “It’s a gym, Van,” Cam growled at her while taking off his headgear.
    “You still got knocked the fuck out,” she joked.
    “You’re lucky you’re a girl or I’d drop you.”
    “Bring it, old man.”
    “Don’t make me have Tim handle my light work.” Hell that would be nice as fuck. I’d like to slam her little ass to the mat and hold her down with my body. Then I’d demand some fucking answers. Like why the fuck would she be out having lunch with that asshole. She was mine. I couldn’t wait to get a hold of Willie boy. He was going to be down faster than Cam.
    “He couldn’t handle me either.” Something about what I learned and her words set me off. This was a fucking mistake.
    “No, you let your boyfriend handle you just fine. Cam, I’ve got shit to do. Are you okay?”
    “Yeah, I’m fine. Well, take it easy. I’ll see you Monday. I’ve got to shower.” Cam grabbed a towel and walked into the shower at the other end of the gym completely missing the tension between us.
    I hopped down from the ring and walked to grab my
