Pushing forward, I rest my elbows on my knees.“Not a good idea diggin’ into this.You have no idea how dangerous it could be.Cade kept it from you for a reason.You ought to hear him out before doin’ somethin’ stupid.”
“I’ve heard enough,” she grumbles, leaning back and crossing her arms.
“You’re a stubborn overgrown child when you’re mad, Addison.”I chuckle, unable to stop it.
“Oh, eat a dick, Brian.You’re just trying to be on Cade’s side because you kept a secret from Janine.”
Flinching, I keep the grin, but her words bring the guilt right back into my heart.“You’re right, I did, which is why I’m tellin’ you to hear him out.You know he’s part of a club, and you’re more than aware sometimes we do dangerous shit.He did something, long before you, and he doesn’t have to answer for it.”
“Um, yes he does, if it involves a fucking family member.”
“Do you know what that family member is like?She could be a fuckin’ monster.”
Addison grunts, but she doesn’t answer because she knows I’m right.
“Go talk to your man, sort this shit out.”
“I will, soon,” she mumbles, exhaling.“Right now, I am staying here and avoiding him completely.”
“Mature.”
She grins.“I never said I wasn’t petty.”
Chuckling, I push to my feet.“I’m goin’ to let you be.Think about what I said, before you get too pissed at him.”
She nods.“Yes, yes, I hear you.”
Pushing to her feet, she gives me a hug before I turn and leave.
She needs time, and time she can have.
But one thing I’ve learned in the last few months is that secrets and anger will kill you, it’s best to get it all out on the table and deal with it.
Once and for all.

“COME ON, PRINCESS,”I grin down at Janine.“You only live once.”
Staring at the small white pill in my hand, she stares up at me.
“What if I have a fit and die or something...”
I chuckle, pulling her close.“I promise you won’t.It’s a buzz, and then we’re goin’ to jump out of that plane.”
Pointing to the plane, I watch her face pale.
“I know I’m trying to be more spontaneous and stuff, but ugh, that isn’t a good idea.”
“Do you trust me?”I murmur.
Her eyes swing to mine.“Yes.”
“Then let’s do this.”
Letting out a loud yell, as if to hype herself up, she takes the pill from my hand and shoves it in her mouth.Swallowing before she can back out, she stares at me, and I know she is pushing all her limits being here today.I’m proud of her, though.I like seeing this side to her, and I like watching her take risks.It’s good for her.
“Are you two ready?”
