Chapter Thirteen

EVIE

I’m trapped. At least that’s what it’s felt like for the past three days. I’d been all but forced to leave the mountain with everyone, and to say things had been tense since then is an understatement. Carter was livid with me when he showed up at Connor’s cabin. You would have thought I was his girlfriend and I’d cheated on him.

I know for a fact he slept with Paige the night we’d gotten to the lodge. She was pissed that he’d been strong-arming everyone to make sure I got on the plane with the rest of them. He said if I didn’t, my host family would be kicking me out. I have no doubt the Bartons would cave to whatever Carter’s family demanded of them.

If he’d been so dang pissed at me, then why the hell did he care so much that I leave with the rest of them? He could have left me behind, but nope. Not only was I forced to come back, but Tyson and I both had to go back to Carter’s family's estate to stay since the Bartons are still on vacation and won’t be back for another few days.

I’ve done my best to stay the hell out of Carter’s path, but I think he needs to speak to someone about his mood swings. On the rare occasions I do run into him in the hallways or at the kitchen table, he goes from icy to sweet. It’s keeping me on edge.

“Would you stop that?” Carter comes out of nowhere and snatches the phone right out of my hand.

There are only two landlines in the house. One is in the kitchen and the other is in Carter’s father’s office. No one is ever allowed to go in there, so when I get the chance, I sneak down to the kitchen to use that one. I’ve tried calling the lodge to get a hold of Connor, but each time, the call doesn’t go through.

Right now with how busy the house is and with everyone preparing for a party, I thought I could blend in when I slipped downstairs to try and call again.

“Am I not allowed to use the phone?” I ask as he hangs it back up.

“You look pathetic. He’s not answering. He got what he wanted from you, and now he’s done.”

“He didn’t fuck me,” I hiss in Carter’s face, unable to control myself. My emotions are all over the place. I miss Connor so much. The ache inside of me is starting to become unbearable. The worst part of it is that I’m scared Carter is right and that I’m being pathetic.

Carter’s brows rise in surprise. I’m not sure if it’s because of my outburst or the fact that I admitted Connor and I hadn’t gone all the way. When a smile pulls at Carter’s lips, I quickly regret my outburst.

“So he lied,” he says smugly.

“What?” I ask confused.

“You think he didn’t come back bragging? Talking about what the two of you did?”

“He wouldn’t.
