only thing I can think of.
“Hannah.”
Chapter 29
“Thanks for coming to get me.” Drew nods his head as he holds the truck door open.
Climbing in, I wonder if calling him was the right choice. I don’t know that I’m ready to share this part of me with him yet.
Drew climbs in and takes off before he speaks.
“How did you get over here?” I don’t answer him right away, instead I sit in silence.
He doesn’t push me on anything, so I don’t offer it up.
Telling him that I’m now being black mailed for a murder isn’t going to be ideal at the moment. Telling him at all has my stomach in knots.
“Can we go somewhere tonight?” Drew glances over as I feel tears welling up in my eyes.
“Where?” Willing them to stop, I swallow hard. I don’t want to break down in front of him but I feel it coming.
“Anywhere. Anywhere there aren’t any people.” As if he can feel the tension that flows through me, he reaches for me, pulling me closer to him.
“I would take you anywhere, Han.” Lying my head on his shoulder, I let the motions of the truck lull me.
So many things are going around my head; I can’t get them under control.
My head is pounding, and my heart is hurting. I will do whatever it takes to keep Janey safe. I have too, I’m all she has.
“Han. Wake up beautiful.” Drew’s voice tugs me out of the peaceful sleep I was in. I almost don’t want to open my eyes; I was sleeping so well.
Opening my eyes, I see him sitting next to me. His devastatingly gorgeous features with those haunted eyes rip into my soul.
“Where are we?” Looking around, he climbs out of the truck.
We seem to be off in the woods somewhere. Climbing out of my side, Drew walks around to meet me.
“This is somewhere. You didn’t want to be near people. This is the furthest thing from people.” His eyes light up before he grabs my hand.
“How do you know about this place?” Looking around, I can see that the area is kept up by someone.
“It belongs to a friend of mine. I was in the Marines with him. Come on.” Following him into the small cabin, I feel a sense of unease. An unknown place with a nearly unknown man, way to go Hannah.
This isn’t my kind of place as nice as it seems though. I’m a little out of sorts here.
I follow Drew in and toward what I assume is the living room.
“He lets me use it when I need a break. It’s not fancy or anything but it’s a getaway.” Drew starts to walk away when I grab his hand.
For some reason, I need to feel that connection to him.
Yanking him back in front of me, he smiles.
“Don’t think you’re in control of us, Han. There will never be a time that I’m not in control.”
I don’t know if he can feel it too, or he just wants to please me, but the look in his eyes says he understands.
Chapter 30
“What are you hiding from?” His fingers tuck my hair behind my ear before he stares at me.
“I don’t know how to say it, without you hating me.” Shaking his head, he pulls me into his chest.
“I could never hate you, Han.” A tear slips from my eye and slides down my cheek. I don’t cry, not anymore. I’ve worked so hard to suppress everything I’ve been through.
“I did something bad, so terribly bad. I trusted the wrong people. I’ve put my family in harm’s way.” Crying into his chest, I can feel the tension in him. His muscles are corded tightly as he tries to soothe me.
“I don’t cry, Drew! I don’t so this. I don’t allow myself to feel anything, but my family is all I have left!” Finally getting mad at myself, I push out of his grasp. I can’t fall apart in front of him too.
“Crying isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that there is still something in here.” Placing his fingers over my chest, I know what he means, but
