Chapter Nineteen

Dawson

I stare at the ceiling as I will the muscles in my legs to finally relax. I managed to sleep for a little bit, but my legs started cramping something fierce a while ago. I don’t know what time it is because that would mean leaving my warm cocoon, and I’m not planning on doing that. It took me a long time to feel warm again, and I don’t want to go back to the chills that I thought I’d never escape from. A shudder spreads through me at the memories from last night.

I’m not sure which situation I’m more embarrassed about because, from the moment I joined Jamieson in the living room under the pretence of watching a movie, I didn’t make a single good decision. I should have listened to my gut instead of Ty. I knew that Jamieson wasn’t the kind of guy who wanted something from me as repayment, but I let Ty’s words into my head, and it drove me to make bad choices. He was being a good friend and looking out for me, but I took his worries to heart and acted on them, scared that Jamieson would kick me out if I didn’t perform for him. Okay, so it wasn’t just Ty’s concerns that made me throw myself at Jamieson. Listening to him talk about his old boyfriend had nearly broken my heart. He’s too sweet to have been treated like that, and for a moment, I just wanted to take him out of his head. He seemed lost as he spoke, like the memories of what he’d gone through were ripping him apart. That’s all it took for me to straddle him like a desperate man, and Jamieson had been willing, but just like everything else in my life, I managed to fuck it up.

He had looked so upset by something, and I’d wanted to apologise immediately, telling Jamieson that I’d misread the moment, but his shouting had made me run. I’ve never seen Jamieson angry before, and truthfully, it scared me. His words barely registered with me as he shouted, it was more the look of anger in his eyes that made me need to get away. I’ve been surrounded by angry people all my life, but seeing it on Jamieson stole my bravery. So I ran, and that was my second bad decision of the night. I had no idea where I was going, and by the time I reached the bottom of the driveway, I realised what a mistake I had made. The snow was coming down so heavily I could barely see in front of me, and it covered my thin jacket almost instantly. If I had any sense, I would have turned around and gone back, begged Jamieson to forgive my stupidity, but I let my stubbornness lead me back to the factory.

Fuck. Walking back into that place was horrific. After staying with Jamieson, I saw the factory for what it really was. A filthy den of drugs and other illegal activities.
