My ex-boyfriend is planning to murder me, and he wants to play with me first.

I step out of my car and make sure it’s properly locked. Because I parked on the other side of the road, I’m not on the sidewalk as I lock up.

I hear an engine coming down the street, but I assume it’s far since I can’t see any headlights.

But when I turn around and look up as I start to cross, it’s already too late. Headlights turn on suddenly, piercing through the night. It blinds me, stopping me from seeing anything as I freeze on the spot.

Move, you fucking idiot!

All I register is the violence of the vehicle hitting me.

“I told you,” she rasps as her eyes flutter open. “I fucking told you and you didn’t believe me.”

“Shut up,” I grit out, holding her body close to mine, carrying her inside the house.

I heard the scream, and I ran outside.

All I saw was the way she rolled off the car and landed on the concrete. I didn’t even see the car, too focused on her limp body on the ground.

I can’t believe she’s still conscious, and I can’t believe she’s not screaming to death right now.

She’s too fucking stubborn to show she’s hurt. She would rather tell meI told you so.

I’m inside the house when the front door bursts open, and Ethan runs in, sweat rolling down his forehead.

“What the hell was that?” He fails to stop the rush of his words.

He’s striding toward me, his hands on Jade the second he can reach her. He presses a palm on her cheek.

“Hit and run. I didn’t see the car properly.”

“I told you,” she repeats, her entire face scrunching at the pain she must feel when she talks.

“I told you to shut up.”

She attempts to take a deep breath, stopping short when she hisses.

“I was right.”

“You’re in pain. Stop talking,” Ethan growls.

This isn’t good. I’m worried about her. It grips my gut, feels thick in my veins. One glance at my brother is all I need to know he’s feeling the same way.

“Fuckers,” she lets out on a shallow breath.

“You’re so fucking stubborn.” I don’t control the way my arms tighten around her, keeping her head against my chest.

“Put her on my bed.”

“Why yours?” I snap.

There’s a pause. A short beat when his eyes cross with mine.
