“Or maybe you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison. The thing is, Logan, damaged men likeyounever get anywhere in life. Not without a good woman, and you can watch this one walk away.”
With that, she rolled her eyes and turned, walking back towards the crowd without a second glance.
Jenna could jump off a bridge.
All I want now is my fucking bed and a hot shower.
That’s all.
Chapter Sixteen
JESSICA
“Jess?”
I was vaguely aware of the gentle voice calling my name, but I tried to keep still. If I moved, I would be sick again.
I hate being sick. I mean, who doesn’t?
“Jessica, I know you can hear me. You’ve got that stupid grin on your face that tells me you’re dreaming about some hot guy.”
Hot guy?
I allowed my eyes to peek open, the tiniest slit allowing the harsh daylight through.
Urgh, no. Fuck that.
“Where am I?” I croaked out, my mouth thick and dry.
“You’re at home. Your dad rang me.”
That woke me up.
Ellie was sitting on the side of my bed, holding a tall glass of juice and a handful of tablets. Her eyes searched mine as she leaned forward, thrusting the tablets towards me.
“Daytime drinking on your own isnotthe one.”
I forced the tablets between my lips, lifting the glass to my mouth as I grimaced.
“Vodka and orange, hmm?” Ellie continued as a deep throbbing emerged on the side of my head, and I was pretty sure it was because someone was attacking me with an axe.
“Shit, Ells, I’m sorry,” I whispered, closing my eyes as the room started to spin.
“I’m just glad you’re okay,” she said, rubbing my bare arm.
I looked down to see I was dressed in my pyjamas, and my room looked spotless.
“You’ve been cleaning,” I said slowly, sipping the juice again.
“Yep, you know me.” Ellie smiled faintly, her eyes narrowing. “Wanna tell me what happened with dickhead?”
My stomach dropped, and the memory slapped me in the face, cold and unforgiving with harsh reality.
“Carlisle...he…” I began, my eyes filling with tears.
“Yes?” Ellie pressed, reaching forward to lace her fingers with mine.
“He had another woman in his bed,” I whispered, and Ellie’s face drained of colour.
