Addie’s announcement echoed in my mind. A brother? Why hadn’t I heard of him before? She had told me everything, but she never mentioned Nik, the most important person in her life.
Did she not trust me? The realization made me feel sick to my stomach.
If Addie was going to Atlanta, I sure as hell was going with her. I had already lost her once; never again would I let her walk away from me.
My mind unwillingly flickered back towards the kiss I had witnessed between Cal and Addie. I should’ve been happy for them - Addie was my best friend, and Cal was practically my brother. Instead, it felt as if my heart was breaking free of my chest.
Jealousy. I wasn’t familiar with the emotion, for it had never before applied to me. Even with the girls I occasionally shared with my team, I never felt jealous of who they spent their time with. They spent the night with Ryder? Good for them. Went out to dinner with Tam? Hopefully he paid.
Everything felt different with Addie. I felt too much for her, too deeply.
I couldn’t help but imagine my own body in Calax’s place. Her hands wrapped around my waist, her lips on mine, my fingers tangled in her hair.
Sarge’s sudden movement captured my attention.
He was speaking to the group, continuing a discussion I must’ve missed in my wistful daydream. He turned towards me, as if he felt my eyes on him, and signed.
“What’s your vote?”
About what?
Sarge would be pissed at me if he discovered I zoned out during a meeting. My confusion must’ve been evident on my face, though, for his own features hardened.
“Do you want to go with Adelaide to Atlanta?”
Did he even have to ask me that? I didn’t even need to think about my answer.
“Hell yeah.”
Sarge nodded as if he already expected my answer. Knowing him, he probably did.
“Then it’s settled. We’ll all pack up and go with Addie to Atlanta.”
Wait, what?
