Chapter 38

As soon as my head hit the pillow, I passed out and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I had a terrible headache and my stomach felt like it might decide to toss up its contents. I showered and got dressed anyway, hoping that a nice run would help me to recover. It was funny, I’d always thought I’d hated running. But now that my Mother wasn’t here to insist that I do it, my body seemed to insist for her.

I stopped by Nelly’s dorm to see if she wanted to join me. I was surprised when I opened the door to find her lacing up her tennis shoes.

“Hey, where are you going?” I asked.

She looked me up and down. “I was just about to come see if you wanted to go for a run with me,” she said.

I smiled. “You read my mind.”

Her hazel eyes lit up. “No, I didn’t. But we haven’t gone on a run in while and I thought maybe I could use it.”

We headed out; running to no place in particular, and I realized how much I’d missed doing this with her. It was a beautiful day outside and the sun shone brightly above us.

Her brow creased for a moment and I raised my eyebrows. “What?” She shook her head and offered me one of her award-winning smiles. “Nothing.” I sat up and looked at her, waiting for an answer.

She blew out a heavy breath. “I just can’t help but wonder if it has anything to do with seeing Kayden last night.”

I opened my mouth to tell her that that had nothing to do with it, but stopped when I considered what she was saying. I did always feel better after being with him, so maybe he had a stronger effect on my moods than I had noticed. I really liked Jackson, he made me happy, but he didn’t make the anger that was always inside of me go away the way Kayden did.

Even Nelly, whom I loved more than anything, and who I enjoyed being around more than anyone, didn’t make me happy the way Kayden did. He made me happy in a very different way, a way that made me feel balanced and complete. This realization was as shocking as it was scary.

I turned to Nelly. “Do you think that he, like, put a
