Chapter Seven

Noah

“You just going to lay there all day?”

Shifting onto my side, I saw Henry standing at the door and grinning like he won the lottery. The same cop who had made it his mission to piss me off stood beside him with his head down. Smirking, I sat up, stepping back into my shoes and grabbing my jacket. Henry took a step to the side and paused in the doorway to fix the collar of my shirt.

“Officer Dacosta,” I said¸ reading his silver nametag. “Henry, you should remember that name.”

“Already have.”

The bastard glared, and his jaw tensed as I nodded to him and walked down the hall. There was a shift in the air. I could feel it bluntly. When they first arrested me, they sat me in the corner and pretended I didn’t exist, purposely talking loudly, calling me the “stupid motherfucker messin’ with Mallory.” Now, you would think I had a gun to their heads—not one of them stepped in our paths or even spoke.

“We need you to sign for this, Mr. Sloan.” The officer behind the desk stood when I reached him.

My eyebrow raised as I took the pen to sign. “It’s ‘Mr. Sloan’ now? And here I was getting used to being that called ‘that motherfucker.’”

He didn’t say anything as he handed me a plastic bag of the possessions they had taken from me. A Fendi watch, my smartphone, my wallet, an unopened pack of cigarettes, and watermelon-flavored gum.

“What happened?” I asked Henry as I opened the bag, taking my watch out first.

“Amelia,” he answered, and I couldn’t fight the smile spreading across my face. “I have no idea how, but she dropped a nuclear bomb in Mallory’s lap this afternoon.”

Thata girl.

“Where is she?”

“The press are waiting outside, so Austin decided that she would come out the moment you step out and meet you halfway. Apparently we can’t waste this opportunity. Amelia agreed, though.”

I rolled my eyes at that. Leave it to Austin to already have a media plan set in motion. Whatever. At this point, I didn’t care. I just wanted to get the hell out of this godforsaken place.

“Shades?” Henry offered. I shook my head, handing him my jacket. The closer I got to the front door, the louder the voices became.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when the doors slid open. The first thing that blinded me was the sunlight. I had gotten so used to the dim lighting in the jail that I actually had to bring my hand over my eyes to see. But when my vision cleared, even in the midst of the vast sea of photographers and cameras, I could spot her perfectly. Beside her were Daniel, Austin, Ollie, and some blonde woman I didn’t know.

She bit her lips as her eyes glazed over with tears she refused to let fall. I made it halfway down the stairs before she ran up and leaped onto me.

“Miss me?” I laughed, wrapping my arms around her. God I missed her.
