“We can explain it was an accident.” Milo shrugs.
“What about the body?” I retort, folding my arms.
“Tell him the truth,” Felix says.
“Are you kidding? Really?” I say.
“Why not?” Milo asks. “He sounds like a nice guy.”
“He killed our mother,” Felix growls.
Milo’s face turns white.
I cringe. “Bringing this kind of news to my dad isn’t gonna be easy.”
“We’ll figure it out,” Felix says, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I’ve got your back.”
I place my hand over his. “Thank you.”
Kai’s face appears behind Milo too now, and I struggle to hide my smile.
Even though I was so convinced I hated these boys for what they did …
None of it seems to matter anymore.
My heart’s already made its choice.
“Nathan is up. We’re bringing him home,” he says, winking.
Then he turns around and drags Milo with him.
I’m almost tempted to go with them, but Felix’s hand on my shoulder keeps me from moving.
“Have you decided yet?” Felix asks.
A pause follows.
“I won’t stop you. But I’m just one call away if you ever need me.”
I swallow away the last bit of restraint I still had left.
Felix leans over and whispers into my ear, “Go on then. Follow your fucked-up heart.”
And he pushes me away from his strong grip and toward the door that signifies my demise. But oh, the fall into oblivion has been so fucking sweet.
And as a fucked-up masochist, I don’t think I’d have it any other way.
I look back one more time just to grin, and Felix grins right back at me in that signature Rivera way.
“Don’t let them treat you badly, or I’ll kill them,” he says.
“They won’t,” I retort.
“How do you know for sure?”
“Haven’t you heard?” I wink. “I’m their motherfucking queen.”
