simple phone call. So her family was probably worried to death.
    She pushed off the covers and jumped out of bed, practically skipping across the room to where her bag sat in the chair next to the door. She dug out her laptop and booted up the Mac.
    Her heart stuttered when she saw all the messages from Josh on Facebook, Skype, and Messenger. He was completely flipping out, which didn’t come as a surprise. Before she clicked off the programs, she glimpsed some of the messages, and her stomach turned.
    Where the hell are you?
    I’m going to find you, Grace.
    I told you it’s not over until I say it is!
    I’m sorry. I love you. Please come back.
    That man was worse than a damn pinball machine; his emotions were all over the place. He’d say anything to appeal to her, to get her to come back, even after threatening and putting his hands on her.
    Thankfully, he was no longer her problem.
    Grayson’s hands hovered over the keyboard as she debated on replying, but she really didn’t want to engage in any more conversations with him. She had no patience to listen to him go between groveling and rage. A clean break was the only way to do this.
    She pulled up her email account and found five emails from him. Ugh! She hit the delete button on all of them without opening them. New start , she reminded herself, a clean slate.
    First order of business, reassure her mom that she was okay. She opened a new email and typed:
    Mom,
    I just wanted to let you know, I’m headed your way. I lost my phone, so I can’t call. I need you to do me a favor. If you hear from Josh, just tell him that you haven’t heard from me. We broke up… I’ll explain when I get there. Thank you. I can’t wait to see you all.
    Love,
    G
    Then she pulled up Skype, shaking her head with a smile. Her twin sister, Luna, was going to throw a party when she heard the news. She’d hated Josh from day one. And Luna wasn’t one not to tell you “I told you so” when she was right about something.

    I know you’ll be doing the jig. I dumped Josh.
    10/2/13 7:34 AM
    Luna Alexander
    No shit!? I’d hate to tell you I told you so, but…
    10/2/13 7:34 AM
    Grayson Alexander
    I knew you’d say that! But yes, you win this time. You called it. I left last night. I guess I’m going to Moms. I don’t know where else to go.
    10/2/13 7:35 AM
    Luna Alexander
    Yes! I’ve been here for a couple of months. Double trouble!
    Luna was at Moms? How had Grayson not known that? She was such a fool for not staying in touch with her family because of some jackass. She’d pulled away from them and her friends so much that she didn’t even know what they were doing with their lives. She couldn’t wait to be back with her family and away from his bullshit.
    10/2/13 7:35 AM
    Grayson Alexander
    You’re at Moms?
    10/2/13 7:36 AM
    Luna Alexander
    Yeah, I came to visit Ethan and didn’t want to leave. That and this place is crawling with hot guys. Who doesn’t love a man in uniform?
    Grace groaned. That was all she needed right now—her sister trying to fix her up.
    10/2/13 7:36 AM
    Grayson Alexander
    Why didn’t you tell me you left Florida?
    10/2/13 7:37 AM
    Luna Alexander
    Well, we haven’t exactly kept in close contact since you left me for Josh…I mean Arizona.
    Grayson’s shoulders slumped. What kind of twin neglected her other half for a man? She was suddenly filled with a different, altogether new type of self-loathing. First, she let herself be ruled by Joshua, in turn, making her walk away from her family. Not to mention her nearly ruined relationship with her best friend.
    Never again , she thought.
    10/2/13 7:37 AM
    Grayson Alexander
    I’m sorry.
    10/2/13 7:38 AM
    Luna Alexander
    You can make it up when you get here.
    10/2/13 7:38 AM
    Grayson Alexander
    I’ll be there in a couple of days. I told Mom I lost my phone, so if she asks that’s the story, but we both know I threw that thing out the damn window. I’ll probably stop and grab a prepaid, so I can check my messages. If you hear from Josh, you don’t know where I am.
    10/2/13 7:39 AM
    Luna Alexander
    If I hear from Josh, I’ll tell him to go screw himself. Anyway, that ass hole knows how I feel about him. I’m pretty sure I’d be the last person on earth he would call to help him get you back.
    Grayson laughed and realized she really missed her crazy sister. That was so typical Luna—honest, blunt, and unknowingly hysterically funny.
    After she said good-bye
