"What are you doing here?" I scowled. My pulse raced. Had she heard Asher?
"What's going on, Addison?" she asked. "Why is Asher threatening you?"
Mystery solved, she'd definitely heard.
"He's not," I lied.
"You're lying," she challenged me. "I heard everything."
Fuck! I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Well, if you heard everything, then you know I don't have time to explain," I groaned. "I need to find Maddox, like now."
Sucking in a deep breath, she looked down the hall and then back at me before saying, "I'll help, but you're going to tell me what's going on."
"I have no idea where he would be." I shrugged. "I don't know where to start."
"I don't think that's going to be a problem." Maddy nodded toward the front entrance, and I whipped around to see Maddox stumbling through the double sliding glass doors. "He's trashed," Maddy said. "Let's get him upstairs before Coach sees him." I nodded.
"Hey, Maddox." Maddy smiled. Maddox's glazed-over eyes flashed up to see her.
"Fuck off, Maddy," Maddox groaned, stumbling forward.
"Wish I could," she muttered, pulling one of his arms over his shoulders.
"We need to get you to your room before Coach Brown does room checks," I said. "So, move quick." He stumbled forward, almost bringing himself and Maddy down, but I jumped in, grabbing his other arm to help steady him.
"Do I know you?" he slurred.
"Nope."
"You look familiar," he continued. Maddy laughed, and my eyes snapped to hers, widening in a warning. Her smile dropped as she cleared the laugh out of her throat.
"Sorry," she mouthed as we carried Maddox towards the elevator.
"You're hot."
I rolled my eyes. "Save it, Casanova," I muttered. "I'm not interested."
"That's what they all say," he said. "But they're all interested." He was just as confident and cocky as I remembered.
We managed to get him to his room and bed before bed checks.
"I have to go. Coach can't catch me in this room," she whispered. "He'll flip."
I wished I could say the same, but apparently, Chance didn't care if I shared a room with Maddox.
"I'm going to stay and make sure Romeo doesn't get any wild ideas to leave," I whispered. "I'll try to be quiet when I come in."
"I won't be back to the room tonight." She smirked. "I have plans after room checks." She opened the door. "I'll be back before morning, though."
"Have fun." I smiled. She closed the door, and I spun to see Maddox passed out. His large frame covered most of the bed. Swallowing hard, I shoved back the memories of us threatening to push through. I wasn't going to do this. Those memories weren't real.
Sliding down the wall to the floor, I decided to sit and wait for Coach to do room checks, and then I'd leave.
TWENTY-EIGHT
ADDISON
Peeling my eyes open, I winced at the harsh light radiating through the large window directly across from me. Before my eyes fully adjusted to the bright sunlight beaming in, I jumped up, realizing where I was. I'd never left Maddox's room last night. A flood of panic surged over me as I searched the room. Maddox's bed was empty. The room was empty.
