CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Harley

I swore to everyone that I was fine.

But I wasn’t.

The next few days went by and the stress started to get to me.

I was at the gym when I wasn’t working or sleeping.

Which, since I wasn’t sleeping all that well, was more than what could be considered healthy. I worked the heavy bag, making sure to keep my punches controlled and precise.

I went until I felt like my arms were going to give out and there wasn’t a spot on me that was free of sweat.

I ran. I lifted weights. I pushed myself as far as I could go, and then I pushed some more.

Estelle hesitantly left, but she’d called me a handful of times to check on me. I tried to be convincing when I told her everything was fine. She was getting ready for the convention and I didn’t want to put more on her shoulders. Especially since I knew she had two shops that would have tables set up there. My uncle stopped by a few times as well, mostly to inform me that he hadn’t heard anything and that I would be alright.

There was something in his eyes that told me he wanted to believe him, even though it felt like it was a lie.

So, no, I wasn’t really okay and I kept waking up in a cold sweat thinking that he was coming for me.

He would. I could feel it in my bones.

Jeffery wasn’t the type of person to give up that easily.

The past three years, I’d tried to see things that I couldn’t see in the beginning. You know, when everything was good.

I thought I’d finally put that to bed, but I hadn’t. I’d just pushed it down for a while, and now it was back with a vengeance. I blamed myself, but then felt stupid for doing that. I knew better, I did, but it didn’t stop me from beating myself up. From taking the blame even a little. From feeling like I’d failed myself for being so naïve and blind.

Paranoia took over, tricking me into thinking that I was seeing him when I knew there was no way I could have been. He wasn’t here. He couldn’t be because as far as my uncle knew, he was still in Texas.

Then my head really started to mess with me. I constantly had this feeling like someone was watching me. And not in the way that Blade looked out for me. No, this was different. It sent a cold shiver down my spine and had my hairs standing on end.

I was starting to feel like I was going a bit insane.

In the matter of a few days, I had started to crumble.

I was smarter than that. I knew it was all in my head and I just had to find a way to recenter myself. I was no longer that woman and I would never be again. I’d worked too hard to put myself back together.

I had given Jeffery too much already.

He’d broken me to a certain degree.
