Chapter Twelve

Haden

I was seeing red.

The rage boiling over my entire being was dark and disturbing to the point that I knew I was going to lose it. I’d been sitting there for what felt like hours, watching Ava flirt with this pretty boy loser. She had to know I was there. She was doing this to mess with me. I knew it. There was no way she would have thrown herself at some random geek like that.

The more I thought about it, the sicker I became with anger. I’d tried to work so hard on channeling my aggression and my temper into a positive place, but just when I thought I might have a shot at containing this beast, this monster inside of me, something would cause me to lose it again. I felt sick with livid rage.

My friends were wrapped up in some conversation that I wasn’t present enough to even comprehend. I was tuning them out completely. It was almost like they were coming through in intermittent bursts in between a foggy haze that I was wrapped up in.

What the hell was happening to me?

I could not stop staring at Ava. Wow, she looked so beautiful. She was even more beautiful than she’d been before. Her body had filled out a little bit; she was even curvier and more voluptuous. Her hair was longer and wavier. It framed around her beautiful face and perfect features. I wanted to run over and grab her in my arms. I wanted my love back. The woman I loved was right there, and I felt powerless to do anything.

Right then, I felt the anger guiding my thoughts as it grew by leaps and bounds, second after second, and minute by minute. I was losing control. I could have gotten up and walked out of the bar without a word to anybody. I could have hopped in my truck and drove home to sleep it all off, but I knew that I would not be able to catch a wink of sleep. Not like this.

I didn’t even trust myself to walk out without going over to Ava’s table. And I sure didn’t trust myself to not break that guy into a million pieces.

Oh, what I would have loved to do to him. Scenarios kept playing out in my tormented mind. It would be so easy to break his neck. I could have walked over and snapped his neck from behind, and he would never know what hit him. Or maybe that was too quick. It wasn’t painful enough. I would rather throw him to the ground and kick him senseless while Ava watched in total shock. I could show her how I was willing to fight for her. I could tell her how sorry I was. No, I would show her. That was even better. I would show her by beating this other man into total submission in front of her.

What was I thinking? I couldn’t do that. Was I that insane? I felt like it more and more.
