I turn and run through the kitchen.
Right to the side door.
I rip it open and rush outside.
The house is old, shitty, and the outside is just the same.
Everything is overgrown, dead, rotting, and there’s a smell that hits me that makes me want to throw up.
It smells like a dead animal and cat pee.
I run as fast as I can to the front of the house.
There’s nobody there.
I choose Cullen’s SUV and get behind the wheel.
I step on the gas pedal and press the button to start it.
The SUV starts!
That means the key thing is somewhere in the SUV.
I grab the steering wheel and look at Faye’s house again.
It’s old, dirty, and sad.
Inside is the woman who took care of me.
Inside are the three guys I am in love with.
Yes, I still love Seth.
If he says he had to protect me, I guess I believe him.
But this entire mess?
“I can’t do it,” I say.
I step on the gas pedal and the SUV moves.
I catch myself going way too slow at first.
Regret and guilt tugging at my heart.
Begging me to go back.
At least go back and get Cullen and Archer.
Right?
But I can’t do that.
They need know who I am.
I need to know who I am.
Right now, I’m still Jaci Ruby.
