Me:Why is this my fault?
Kidnapper #2:It’s always the girl’s fault
I’d be offended if I didn’t know Lars Finley the way that I did. Where Talon was the violent one, Hunter was the serious one, Lars Finley was thefriendlyone. He loved the females and made no bones about it. Though he had no problem swinging his fists, he preferred not to. According to him, he was a lover, not a fighter, and he liked it that way.
Me:Untrue, but ur 4given
Kidnapper #2:I know all about u 2 hooking up, so just 4give him
While I was grateful that Hunter hadn’t spilled the beans about my pregnancy just yet, I wasn’t surprised that Lars knew about us getting together. With as close as Hunter was to his brother, Lars had probably found out the next day. Either that, or Talon could have told him. I could also see Talon telling Edie and Edie telling Lars, not that it really mattered.
Me:what makes u think that we’re fighting?
Kidnapper #2:Bcuz I know my brother n when I call 2 complain about Edie again, he sounded off
Unknowingly, Lars just gave me the perfect opening to deflect.
Me:B nice 2 Edie
Kidnapper #2:She’s the devil
I barked out a laugh. Especially, since Edie Draven was the farthest thing from evil as you could get. The girl was brilliant, though a romantic at heart. She’d been Talon’s biggest cheerleader when he’d fallen for Kenzlee, and she still was.
Me:She is not
Kidnapper #2:We can agree 2 disagree, then u can get on 2 4giving my brother
Despite it all, I found myself grinning down at my phone again.
Me:Ur brother is safe from me
Kidnapper #2:Ur all the devil, but I luv u all anyways
Me:Luv u 2
Kidnapper #2:If u really luv me, 4give him
Me:Done
Kidnapper #2: (thumbs up emoji)
Sliding my phone back in my pocket, I went back to staring out at the lake, knowing that there wasn’t anything to forgive Hunter for. He’d done nothing wrong, and from the very beginning, he’d been handling this thing between us better than I’d had. I was the one that was messing things up, and I needed to own that and probably apologize again for being an idiot.
I shook my head because what I needed to do was take a real test. Deep down, I knew that I was pregnant, but it still made sense to confirm it. If nothing else, I needed to confirm it for Hunter’s sake. While I could appreciate how he hadn’t asked me if it was his, he still needed to know for sure if I was pregnant, and he also needed to know that it was, without a doubt, his.
Deciding to call Kenzlee, I pulled my phone out of my pocket again. I needed to let her know how badly things had gone and how it’d been my fault. She needed to be warned that things might get ugly. While I didn’t think that Hunter would intentionally put her and Talon in the middle of our mess, she still deserved to know what happened.
An hour later, I was still crying into the phone.
Chapter 21
The bravery that isn’t so brave.
Alexandria~
After crying my heart out on the phone to Kenzlee, I was ready to go back to my dorm and crash. I couldn’t remember ever feeling this goddamn tired, and I was seriously contemplating skipping classes tomorrow and just sleeping the day away. I felt emotionally, mentally, and physically tired, and if I could fall asleep on this bench without getting arrested or mugged, I would.
Nevertheless, no matter how exhausted I felt, the sun had already started to go down, and I really wasn’t looking to get mugged because I couldn’t stop doing stupid things. No matter how nice a neighborhood might seem, unsavory people lived everywhere. Plus, I was less worried about the trouble that I saw coming than the trouble that hit you from behind.
