Let her hate me if she wants. She’s right, we both know what Tobias is capable of and I promised to never let him or anybody hurt her ever again.
I can’t protect her if she’s not with me.
She’s had time to cool off and take a walk with her bag, now I’m going to find her and bring her back to me.
I’m not surprised when the phone rings out to her voicemail.
I don’t leave a message. I just head for the door, jump on my bike and head to her parents’ house.
* * *
Cordelia opens the door.
When she sees me she looks excited but the look fades when she sees the hardness in my face.
“Where is she?” I demand and barge in past her. Over the last few weeks I’ve grown to like how Cordelia has been taking care of Charlotte and we’ve been cool but I don’t have time for shit and pleasantries.
“What? Gabe what happened?” She follows me as I make my way up the stairs to Charlotte’s room.
The room’s empty. “Where is she Cordelia?”
“Charlotte?” She narrows her eyes.
“Cordelia, don’t fuck with me. Is she here? Did she come here?”
“No. I haven’t seen her since last night.”
So if she’s not here where did she go? I search my mind.
She wouldn’t have taken her bag to the school would she?
Maybe she went to a hotel?
I look back to Cordelia. They got close so I would have thought she’d come here to her. But… maybe she took off.
“Fucking hell.” I growl making Cordelia jump.
“Gabe tell me what happened, tell me now. Don’t you dare make me worry over my sister. What the fuck happened?” Cordelia looks furious.
“She left. She left because she didn’t want to drag me into the shit with Tobias. I thought she came here.”
She narrows her eyes at me again and shakes her head. “That doesn’t make any sense. She wouldn’t leave.”
“Yeah? Well she’s fucking gone and I don’t know where she is.”
She balls her fists and winces. “Did she tell you what happened yesterday?”
“What the fuck happened yesterday?” Charlotte looked happy yesterday. Despite the shit she looked happy at the event when I saw her and she fell asleep in my arms.
“You don’t know?” She bites the inside of her lip.
“Fucking fuck, Cordelia, tell me what I don’t know. I’m going crazy here. I need to find my girl.”
“She’s pregnant,” she answers and it’s like the world just stops.
It stops but it’s like I’m still going. My head spinning, my heart racing, my pulse galloping.
“What? What …did you just say?”
