Farewell to the Crabapple

Summary

I spent seven years chasing Joey Williams. He spent seven years rejecting me.

Everyone said Tessa Hart loved Joey to the bone. They also said Joey had a visceral, almost biological, aversion to Tessa.

What they didn't know was that for those seven years, in the privacy of my bed, Joey Williams loved me like his life depended on it.

But the second his pants were back on, I was just his pathetic little puppy again.

Five years after we split, Joey and I ended up at the same table at our high school reunion.
