                  Demi resealed the letter and placed it on the coffee table so that when he arrived later that evening he would see it. When Chauncey saw the letter, he grabbed it and locked himself inside her bathroom. It seemed like hours passed before he came out. He quickly apologized, saying he was not feeling well and was going home to lie down. The look on his face said all Demi needed to know. He was truly upset about the contents of the letter. No one wanted to hear of such loss, especially a man about his son. Days quickly passed without them talking. Demi missed him and wanted to call him, but thought it best if she let him deal with his situation peacefully without any distractions. She would have wanted the same courtesy if the shoe was on the other foot.
                  She told herself it would be okay because she loved him and he loved her. Maybe she did not know everything going on. Maybe he and his wife were having trouble and separated. But deep down in her heart, Demi knew that was a lie. Her heart had been broken again by someone she allowed into her life, a cycle that was becoming never-ending.
                  Their relationship was never the same after that day. In fact, Chauncey’s lies about seeing her got more outlandish. Demi refused to be a part of them. The day he returned from a short leave, he did not even look at her. Happy to see him, she waited in his office until he finished the rest of his classes. When he saw her there, he seemed surprised, yet disappointed at the same time. Demi could tell from the way he kept distance between them that he was not leaving his wife and family to be with her. He did not even give her a hug or kiss. When she tried to hug him, he pushed her away. Although he had just experienced a terrible, life-altering lost, Demi knew something more had caused him to withdraw from her.
                  She would later learn that Anya Bankston, her old friend from Dallas who also attended Princeton, was one of the reasons for his strange behavior. After receiving a cold shoulder from Chauncey that day, Demi politely broke it off with him. That was when he began making her life a living hell. Chauncey would give her a hard time in class, ignoring her questions and responses to his comments, which pissed Demi off. She let it go, thinking that once he got used to the fact that they were no longer involved, he would get back to his normal self. The fact that he was still grieving the loss of his unborn child played a small factor in she brushed his behavior off.
                  When his rude behavior continued, and became too much that she wanted to deal with, Demi went to his office one day to try to talk with him about his treatment of her. Through the closed door she overheard him talking with Anya Bankston. Anya was making horrible threats regarding his relationship with her. At first, Demi was confused. She had never had any problems with Anya when they were kids, but when she left Dallas with Troy, their friendship slowly drifted away.
                  Sometimes Demi called to let her know she was okay, but one day Anya got really rude, telling her to never call her again, and that she hated her for leaving. Demi brushed it off, thinking they would rekindle their friendship someday. That never happened, though. In fact, when she learned Anya attended Princeton, Demi tried to keep away from her, fearing that Anya would try to make her life worse than what it already was. She never had any classes with Anya, and whenever they were at the same place at the same time, Demi either kept her distance or left. They knew some of the same people. Some of them thought Anya was strange, but Demi ignored those comments. She felt sad that people thought that of Anya. They had once been really good friends and she was really sweet and down to earth once you got to know her.
