Adrian…
I did none of those things. Instead, I sat there while the last year of my life played out in front of me.
All his smiles.
His laughs.
His touch.
His kisses on my neck.
It all blended together. Forming memories of a love I’d never feel again.
Cold, dark eyes stared back at me, sucking all the air from my lungs like it belonged to him.
With fists at his sides, Cade snarled, “Answer me, Adrian. How long?”
It was the first time I saw true rage my best friend’s murderous glare at his own flesh and blood.
What did you do, Paige?
Before Adrian replied, I spoke out, “Please, Cade, don’t do this…”
Not turning to look at me, Cade spewed, “Stay out of this, Paige.”
“Please… Cade… I’m begging you…” I pleaded with everything inside of me.
He didn’t listen. I didn’t expect him to, but I had to try.
How is this happening? How can I stop it?
“This is between me and my brother.” When Cade shoved Adrian, I knew there’d be no getting through to him.
I lost.
Game over.
“Cade,” Adrian clenched through a tight jaw. “Don’t fucking touch me, man.”
“That’s what you respond? That’s what you’re concerned about?” He pushed him harder. “My hands on you?”
He barely waved, pissing Cade off more.
“Stand down, Cade. I don’t want to hurt you.”
He cocked his head to the side. “Don’t you think you’re a little late for that? The one thing that was mine you had to take away from me. Why?”
The desperation in Cade’s voice was crippling.
I hated that I hurt him. This wasn’t all Adrian’s fault.
“Cade, I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“The fucking truth!” Cade slammed him up against the wall and I loudly gasped.
“How long have you been fucking her?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
