CHAPTERTHIRTY-TWO
PRESCOTT
Gabriel wouldn’t have ever allowed something like that to happen.
Of course, he wouldn’t because he was freaking perfect. It was supposed to be him. Not me. Never me.
Taking a pull from the bottle, I let my hand drop to my lap as I watch the lights illuminating the small town underneath me. But even this place couldn’t give me solace. Not tonight.
Although I feared it had nothing to do with the place, but the woman I brought here not that long ago.
The woman who just saw me at my lowest. I never wanted her to meet my parents. Never wanted her to see me like this. Or anybody else, for that matter. My life before Blairwood and at Blairwood were completely separate.
Until tonight.
What the hell’s your problem? It wasn’t his fault.
Only Jade… Only Jade would come between two grown men and try to interfere when she just saw me getting punched in the face. And God, was she beautiful.
I didn’t deserve her. I didn’t deserve her kindness or support, yet she’s given it to me anyway. And then I told her to leave.
I run my hand over my face in frustration.
If she knew the truth, if only she knew the truth, she would have seen how right my father was.
How I wasn’t good enough.
Not for that spot on the team.
Not to be a doctor.
Not for her.
Or anybody else.
I take a swig from the bottle.
Never good enough.
Shaking my head, I cap the bottle and toss it to the passenger’s side before putting my car in drive and getting the hell out of here.
A quick glance at the console tells me it’s well after midnight, and I’m slightly buzzed, so I make sure to drive under the speed limit as I make my way back to campus.
My eyes instantly go to look at her window as I get out of the car. The light’s turned off, but the damn window is open.
She always leaves that damn thing open these days.
I should turn around and go back to my place. Get in bed and sleep this whole thing off. I should text her tomorrow, apologize and tell her we should stop this thing between us.
But do I do either of those?
Hell no.
Instead, I go to her building and slowly start to climb. It takes me a while because my head is spinning, but somehow, I manage to get myself inside in one piece.
Pulling my shirt off, I drop it on the floor as I toe off my shoes and get on the mattress.
“Wha—”
