I knew how much he cared about Allie now.

Jace snatched Nicole’s jaw, making psycho Nicole giggle. When she stepped away, Allie stopped mid-stride and froze along with Imani and Akio. They all stared at the scene with wide eyes, Imani scrunching her nose.

“Fuck,” Landon said, undoing his seat belt. “Shit is about to go down.”

“Stay here,” I said, clutching the steering wheel and waiting. “Nothing will happen.”

When Nicole disappeared, Allie started screaming at Jace. Imani wrapped her arms around Allie’s waist and dragged her flailing body to the car, then said something inaudible to Jace. After Imani gave him the finger, she screeched out of the parking lot. I started the car and followed behind her, making sure she got home without trouble.

I wouldn’t put it past Nicole to try to start something with her and Allie.

“You wouldn’t do this shit for just anyone,” Landon said. “Just admit that you like her.”

I kept my gaze focused on the windshield and tightened my hand around the wheel because if I looked over at him, I knew I’d punch his face in for saying what he just had. Truth was that I really fucking liked Imani, but I … I didn’t want her to hurt me.

Between my father and finding medication for Ana and comforting Mom every night, I didn’t have time for a relationship. What Imani and I had now was enough. It had to be.
