We were sitting in the car Priest loaned me, parked outside her apartment, when I finally gave up on keeping her out of this shit, and I sang like a fucking canary.
“Thanks for letting me know…”
Her eyes had lifted to mine as her hand reached for the door handle.
“But except for what happens with Brinley and what Kane can do with the drive, there’s nothing else for us to talk about.”
Blue let herself out of the car then walked up to her apartment without looking back. I waited until she was inside to start the car. I fought with myself for another hour before finally driving away.
I wanted to follow her up to her place.
I wanted to apologize for everything I’d done to her.
But as hard as I thought about what to say, I couldn’t think of the right words.
They ran around in my head again. Yet none of them were good enough to make her understand.
Blue hates me.
Probably wants me dead.
And I can’t think of a way to make this up to her.
My phone vibrates over the wood of my bedside table, Tanner’s name flashing on the screen.
Gritting my teeth, I hover my thumb over the green button, undecided.
Can’t I just have one day of peace?
I hit the button and pin the phone between my shoulder and ear as I drop the towel to get dressed.
“Yeah?” The word comes out in an annoyed growl.
Tanner is silent for a second, most likely deciding whether he wants to deal with me or not.
“Why does it sound like you don’t want to hear from me right now? Something I should know?”
“Nope, just not feeling it today.”
“Feeling what? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Our shit was vandalized and our cars torched last night, and you’re not feeling it?”
“That’s what I said.”
I hear a pen click several times from his end of the line and roll my eyes. He’s in his usual mood, apparently.
“Well, fine, then. I’ll just send your brother or Jase to go pick up the stripper, and you can take a day at the goddamned spa or some shit. I’m sorry I bothered you.”
The fuck?
I reach up to grab the phone and hold it closer to my ear.
“What are you talking about?”
“Brinley’s friend. She needs to be picked up and taken somewhere she won’t be found.”
Anger taps at my head, trickles down my spine.
“Who’s looking for her?”
