Chapter 9

Ava

He said he would be right here. I pull out my phone and check it again. It’s been ten minutes already.

Did he have a problem with the paparazzi? Did they follow him or something, and he didn’t want to lead them here to me?

The air is really starting to feel chilly the longer I stand here. I’m starting to wish I had a sweater or a light jacket or something. Or maybe some warmer pants. These yoga pants are great. They’re stylish, and I can move around in them easily. They’re the most comfortable pants I’ve ever had, but they don’t exactly hold the chilly air at bay.

Maybe something happened to Liam.

Or maybe he’s already gotten tired of me.

I don’t have the best self esteem in the world. After all, he was pretty adamant ten minutes ago that we were definitely going to see each other again. I felt so safe with him. And I felt so safe knowing that he was going to take care of the whole paparazzi situation. He’s caring for me, and protecting me.

But now I’m really staring to wonder. The chillier I get, the closer I get to just trying to walk home. Although it’s a long walk. I’d be freezing and tired by the time I got back to my dorm room.

I’m surprised I haven’t gotten a call yet from Emma asking where the hell I am. Maybe she went out.

Maybe this is just some cruel trick that Liam likes to pull, some immature stunt. He leads ladies that he’s slept with off through some path, promises to pick them up, and then never shows up again. That would really be something. Look where my mind’s turning—not to good places.

Speak of the devil. My phone rings and it’s Emma.

I was hoping it would be Liam. If he’s not going to show up, he could at least let me know. If there’s been something that came up… the least he could do is tell me. But really, even with all the paparazzi, what could have happened? All he has to do is drive around the block. I can literally see his house from where I’m standing.

“What’s up, Emma?”

“Hey,” she says. “Just checking up on you. It’s not like you to stay out this late.”

“I’m heading home now,” I say. “I’m just waiting for my ride.”

“Your ride? Who’s giving you a ride home?”

“Someone,” I say vaguely.

“It’s like 1 o’clock in the morning. Have you been kidnapped, Ava?”

“Of course I haven’t been kidnapped,” I say.

“That’s exactly what you would say if your kidnapper was right there, right?”

“I guess so,” I say, sighing.

“OK, say the word banana if you’ve been kidnapped. They won’t know what you’re saying.”

“Come on, Emma,” I say. “This is absurd. I haven’t been kidnapped. And what if they had me on speaker phone and could hear everything that you’re saying?”

“Damnit,” says Emma. “I’ve got to work on that.”

“You do that,” I say.

I tell her that I’m waiting for Liam to pick me up but he hasn’t shown up yet.
