Chapter One
Jasmine
“I’LLSEE YOU TOMORROW!”ICALL TO MY COWORKERS ASIrun out of the classroom and round the corner.Acouple of the toddlers try to follow me out, but I quickly close the baby gate before they can escape.
“See ya, Jasmine!” a few of them call after me.
I chew on my bottom lip; I’m still getting used to people calling me that, even though it’s the name I’ve been using for the past year.
It feels so good to finally be off work. I fix my backpack on my shoulders, punch out and practically sprint out the door before anyone has a chance to ask me to do anything for them before I leave.
I take a deep breath.
Finally.
Just one more sleep until Friday, and then I’ll have the next five days off from both of my jobs. But, right now, all I want to do is go home, take a hot shower, and get into bed with some snacks and Netflix.
I hop in my car, a beaten up red 2007 Ford Focus, and peel the hell out of the parking lot so fast gravel flies in my wake.
My stomach grumbles; I haven’t eaten anything since noon and it’s now past three-thirty. Luckily, my other job at the bookstore doesn’t need me tonight—it was either work for two hours or take the night off, and obviously the latter won—so I don’t have to rush to grab something to eat.
“Fucking Ezra,” I mutter as I make my way to the grocery store up the street from work. If it wasn’t for my ex-boyfriend, I wouldn’t even need a second job. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have to live in hiding, constantly looking over my shoulder for someone to take me back to him.
And if that wasn’t enough, I also have to hope the loan shark I borrowed one hundred grand from doesn’t find me, either. He comes from the same criminal underworld as Ezra, and he’s the last person I want to see again.
So, I’ll continue working myself to death to pay him back every cent I owe him, but in the meantime, I don’t want him knowing where I am.
I want to go back home to San Diego, too, to make things right with my parents and reconcile with them. I haven’t spoken to them since I started dating Ezra, and the absence of their presence in my life is starting to bother me.
Not that they were really that present in my life to begin with, but still…
For some reason, I miss my parents. I’ve wanted to strengthen our relationship for years, and maybe now when they see I’ve finally left him, they’ll realize I’m not throwing my whole life away.
