“It was really shitty what happened to you, Aira,” Julia said. “We can go after them…”
“No,” I said. “Believe me. I know I haven’t been here long but believe me, there’s a way to handle these things.”
“Like Wes did? Getting arrested in front of you when you found out your house fire was arson?”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah. Right.”
“Well?”
“Well what?” I asked. “He could have done worse. Ryland was lucky all Wes did was trash his motorcycle.”
“I think Wes is the lucky one,” Julia said. “Because if he hurt Ryland, he’d still be in jail. And I think Wes is lucky to have you. But I’m not sure about you two together. It’s like this…”
“Like you and Jett?” I threw at Julia.
She stood up. “That’s your low blow, huh?”
“Always. Gets you out of my room.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Julia asked. “You know, I have to still deal with Miss Carson too. And Principal Henders. And your parents.”
“You’re forever my hero,” I said as I put my hands together.
“I’m on your side. I just want you safe.”
“I’m sitting on my bed,” I said. “Alone. I have nothing to hide. Check the drawers. Check the closet. Check under the bed.”
“You worried about monsters?” Julia asked.
I laughed.
Julia had no idea…
She left the room.
The second the door clicked, I looked down to the floor.
Out slid Wes, his face looking up at me.
“Shit, why didn’t you two just have fucking coffee and a sleepover?” he growled. “You know how uncomfortable it is under there?”
I kept laughing.
Watching this giant hunk slither his way from under my bed.
I bite my lip and looked to the bedroom door.
I just couldn’t help myself with Wes.
He was the only one who ever really believed me and could protect me.
I was in no position to be sneaking a guy over, but oh well.
It wasn’t the first time.
And it wouldn’t be the last.
