He reaches for my face and softly caresses my cheek, eyes settling on my lips as though he wants nothing more than to kiss them. “I haven’t shown them to anyone. And I don’t intend to.”
He doesn’t intend to?
My pupils dilate. “So it was all an empty threat?” I shove him away. “You bastard!”
He snorts and shakes his head. “I told you … I would do anything for Ro’s safety.”
“Anything … including lying to me,” I say, feeling like he just stabbed that knife of his straight into my heart.
Why? Why do I even care?
“Guys, please …” Milo mutters. “Can’t we just be together? Without all the fighting?”
Grumbling to myself, I turn around. “This was a mistake.”
“A mistake?” Milo parrots, jumping off the bench to follow me. “No, no wait, please, Lana.”
“Let her go,” Nathan barks as I open the door. “She clearly doesn’t want to be ours.”
“You know, I almost, almost thought I could let you all …”
I stop before I say something I won’t be able to take back.
Both boys stare at me, wondering what that last word would be that could slip off my tongue.
But I won’t give them the satisfaction of knowing.
“Never mind,” I say, and I storm off.
“Let us what?” Milo calls from the sauna. “Please, Lana, don’t leave.”
But I stick up my middle finger despite the tears welling in my eyes.
But Sicklittlebitch13 wouldn’t ever cry in front of the people she wants to murder, so I swallow them all back down and keep walking.
KAI
I stare out the window at the snowflakes slowly falling. I can almost feel the cold right through the glass, the shivers reminding me of that night in the alley. When we ravaged that girl I can’t fucking stop thinking about. I haven’t heard from Lana in a couple of days, and it’s starting to make me antsy. In the middle of class, I pull out my phone and text her.
Me: Have you been up to some bad stuff again?
It takes her a while to respond.
Lana: What kind of stuff are you thinking of?
Me: Sex … murder. Maybe both at the same time.
Lana: Wow. OTT.
Me: Not when it comes to you.
Lana: True.
Me: So you admit you’re a kinky li’l kitty. I like it.
Lana: Why are you texting me?
Me: I told you … when I call, you come.
