“You up for goin’ out tonight? My girlfriend has this friend goin’ out and I told her I may have someone to come with us too.”
Wasn’t he just threatening me abo ut pants?
“Yeah, I guess that would be cool.” I turned to Colt. “You guys coming out too?”
“Savanna wants to , ” He replied.
“Let me guess, you’d rather stay home alone?”
“Not like your thinkin’. It just isn’t my scene anymore.”
“Nine months ago you were all up in that shit. I recall the night pretty clearly.”
“Speaking of that, we need to talk.”
I rolled my eyes and walked back outside with Colt. “Whatever you have to say isn’t goin’ to change my mind. I can’t stand up there and watch her promise to love you forever.”
“I thought we were past this. You know how much it would mean to Savanna. She cares about you.”
I shook my head and ran my hands th rough my hair, trying to grasp the words that needed to be said. “It still hurts. I know that she and I are over and honestly I don’t know if I even want to be with her again, but the fact that she is with you is what drives me crazy. If it was some stranger, I think I could have let go by now. You were my idol and now you are marrying who I always thought was my dream girl. It’s like a kick in the balls.”
Colt got one of his famous half smiles. “I can’t force you to change your mind, but I hope by next summer you will have. I love her and I want her to be happy. She wants you there with us. Just think about it.” He put his hand on my shoulder. “When I was younger and got engaged you were the one person I wanted standin’ next to me. I know the past year has been hell, but I haven’t changed my mind. You are like my brother and my best friend. I hope you reconsider.”
Why was it that he and Savanna could make me feel bad for them?
“I will man. I promise I will.”
Chapter 9
Miranda
I wish everyone would just leave me alone. Couldn’t th ey see how much they were addin g to my frustrations? I needed time to get over the shock of the previous night and what happened this morning, before dealing with even more drama.
My brother was gettin g on my last nerve. He needed to understand that my heart was breakin g for myself and my daughter. I could tell that he was lookin’ out for me, but he needed to back off and let me breathe first.
While the baby too k her nap, I sat in my room as Van lectured me on what I need to do next to keep me and Bella safe. She didn’t have a kid. She had no idea what it was like being responsible for a child. She meant well, and I could tell she believed she was doing the right thing, but it wasn’t helpin g me at all.
The father of my child had said the most painful words that a mother wants to hear. He didn’t want our child. He didn’t even love her.
The stinging of my eyes felt like it was goin g to be permanent with my new found drama. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I asked Van to give me some time alone. I appreciated her, just not right now.
While burying my head into my pillow, I heard the fancy doorbell ringin g . Voices followed the sound of the door openin g and I knew it was only a matter of time before they called me to come down. This was a bad idea with a capital B. This would push Tucker over the edge. They thought the vandalism was major. I had no idea what would come next.
Two hours later the officers made their way out. My brother looked far too pleased at what he had done. I felt the knot in my stomach tightening. The repercussions of his actions were not goin g to be what he thought. Conner always had to be in control. This was going to end badly.
The officers said that since they were familiar with Tucker and his family, they would pay his mother a visit later in the day. He didn’t talk to her much, but she would make sure he knew what my family had done to him. It was a good thing that my mother and aunt were due home sometime in the evening, otherwise I
