Leaving Liam
It’s three a.m. The car service will be here any minute. I take a last look at
the Williamsburg apartment where I’ve spent the last four years of my life.
Maroon walls covered in vintage rock posters. The lopsided curtains I made
myself, even though I can’t sew. The half-full jar of change. Liam’s beloved
LP collection we spent weekends at flea markets trying to complete. His
favorite guitar leaning against a Marshall amp. My psych books from
college, stacked in the bookcase with a thousand Post-It notes sticking out.
I’ll have to come back for those later. On the top shelf is a picture taken the
day we moved in together.

I was so happy, so in love.
I’m going to miss curling up on the window seat with our coffee Sunday
mornings and taking long walks together in the afternoon.
I’m not going to miss bandmates crashing on the couch, dirty looks
from groupies, hauling music equipment, or wondering where Liam is all
night.
I pull a roller bag stuffed with clothes and my laptop over to a couple of
banker’s boxes jammed with my criminology books, a few framed photos,
and some personal items.
Sharon, the manager of Cellos, where I bartend part time, let me leave
early so I could come home and pack. I’ve watered the plants and left
instructions. I hope they survive, but I have my doubts. Live with a rock
dude, you have to expect rock dude behavior, which doesn’t exactly include
misting plants.
I was twenty-two when I met Liam my senior year of college. I
expected a fling. But in New York, flings often turn into living
arrangements. Things haven’t added up for months. Tonight is just the clear
answer to a series of questions. The grand, embarrassing, heartbreaking
finale.
A key rattles in the lock, and Liam pushes the door open. Damn it! I
was hoping to be gone before he got home.
Not surprisingly, he’s been drinking. He leans against the wall, looking
rumpled and sexy in black jeans and a Passion Pit T-shirt, washed so many
times it barely fits his slight frame. He grins sloppily, all dimples and
boyish charm. He reaches for me, then stops when he sees the bag and
boxes.
“Jenna, what the…?” The look on his face is like a kid whose balloon
just popped.
I walk over to the computer and tap a key. Liam’s Facebook page comes
up with a picture of a naked blonde strategically covered with Hello Kitty
dolls. The name of his new Facebook friend is R-O-X-Y, with the “O”
replaced by a heart.
“I’m not sure what’s worse,” I say, “her comment or her spelling.”
He shakes his head and asks innocently. “She tagged me? What does
she say?”
“I’ll try to translate. Thnx for last nite bad boy. Sooooo hot,” I coo in a
high-pitched voice.
“That doesn’t mean anything. That’s just Roxy.” He feigns confusion.
“She’s a girl I know. A performance artist. She’s crazy.” Then, as if he
needs to explain her obvious appeal, he adds, “but she’s into some really
cool stuff.”
