I get close to Mila and when I touch her arms, she jumps and shivers.
She looks up at me.
What the fuck did I do to you, honey? I left you here. With him. I let this happen. I almost lost you.
We stare at each other.
Ward groans.
“Stay down,” Willow says. “Or else I’m going to hit you next.”
“Fuck you, Willow,” Ward says. “You’ve always been a bitch too.”
I hear a thud and a groan.
To my left, Willow is now kicking the shit out of her brother.
I don’t even care about stopping her.
I keep staring at Mila.
I reach up and touch her face.
There’s blood on my fat, middle knuckle of my right hand.
Mila grabs my wrists but she doesn’t pull my hands away.
“Mila…”
“I love you, Jax,” she blurts out. “I love you so much…”
“I love you too, honey,” I whisper back.
I finally get to kiss her.

MILA
A WEEK LATER
It became a thing.
Everyone had their own version of what happened.
How Willow’s brother Ward showed up from rehab and went nuts.
How he tried to kill me.
Which wasn’t exactly true. But the intention could have been there for sure.
Some of the stories went a little crazy though.
Someone started a rumor that Ward ate some bad mushrooms and was tripping like crazy. And that he thought I was some evil witch trying to curse the campus so he had to burn me to save everyone.
I’m sure you know how rumors are.
And college rumors are even crazier.
