Crushing an Ex (scene 14)

Turns out I didn't have to ring Damien, he called the next day.

'How's it going?' he says.

'How come you didn't tell me about Tara,' I blurt.

'Have you been talking to Dean?'

'Yeah, he's pretty upset.'

'It's not my fault Tara remembers me.' He says.

I try to refrain from screaming abuse down the phone at him; It's really what I want to do. But in all honesty, I knew it wasn't Damien's fault, and I suppose any memory for Tara is a good one. I just feel sorry for her it's him she-kind-of-remembers.

'I just don't get why you didn't tell me you went to visit her?'

'It wasn't meant to be a secret, but then she recognised me a bit and I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd be upset.'

'Saint Damien, always thinking about everybody else.' I can't help being a bitch.

'Get real Reilly. Everything I've done up to now is because I care. I still care about you. I want to get back together.'

'That's not going to happen Damien.'

'So us kissing, what was that?' I thought back to the night in Damien's room. The new's bulletin—Tara missing; how upset I'd been.

'Comfort I guess. I was worried about Tara.'

'So you were using me?'

'I guess so.' Bitch again.

'You're a fucking bitch,' he says and hangs up.

I don't feel bad. I don't feel anything.
