“Maybe this is a hoax, Mia.” Selena says, still glaring at her phone screen. “I just can’t believe Teague is capable of anything like this.”
“Selena,” I say, walking over to the bed in my room and taking a seat next to her. “He told me he lied to me.”
“Wow.”
“Yeah.”
“So, what’re you going to do?”
“I don’t know, Selena!”
My phone rings and I pick it up. “What is it Sebastian?”
“Can we talk?”
“We are talking, aren’t we?”
“You need to talk to him, Mia.”
“What the hell for?”
“Mia, this is the worst time in his life! Aren’t you even worried how he’s doing?”
“Did he worry about me last night?” I snap. “Did he worry at all, about what was going to happen if things went wrong? No. He went ahead and made the decision for the both of us so now he has to live with it.”
“Mia,” Sebastian says. “I just talked to Vince.”
“Why’re you telling me that?”
“Look, I don’t want to get your hopes up, but Vince said that guy Teague beat up, didn’t die of the injuries. They think there might be foul play involved.”
“So Vincent’s going to keep him out of prison?”
“He’s trying.”
“Don’t you get it, Sebastian? Do you think I’m going to just forgive him for all this if he doesn’t go to prison?”
“Mia, I know it’s—”
“No, Sebastian! You don’t know. You have any idea the kind of pain his actions have put me through? You think I’m not worried? About him? About what he’s gotten himself into? I love him, Sebastian, you know that. But this is why I don’t trust men. The minute you think they’re not going to break your heart, they do exactly that.”
“He loves you, Mia. He needs you right now. Please.”
“What about what I need?”
“Look. Just comfort him right now. I promise everything will be fine.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“I just know that I’ll do everything possible to help him.”
“Sebastian. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to see him. I don’t think I’m ever going to see him again.”
“Mia.”
“Thanks for calling, Sebastian. I got to go.”
I hang up and Selena comes to hug me. “I’m sorry, Mia.”
