Zoe

“What was that?” I demand for the umteenth time. “Why did she say her name is Zoe?”

My imagination is good enough that I can hazard a guess, but I want to hear Gray say it. Actually, I want him to say anything. Recite the fucking microwave instructions from the pizza he had earlier. I’m not picky as long as he speaks up.

“Tell me,” I say, my tone growing steely when he just continues to stare at me with a vacant look in his eyes. “You owe me the truth, Gray. Look me in the eye and tell me.”

Unease prickles at my spine as I feel the Kings and Cunts behind me move around. Even though I trust them, I don’t like that I can’t see what they’re doing. But the discomfort isn’t enough to make me look away from Gray.

“Zoe, maybe we should—”

“Leave,” I snarl as I interrupt Slasher. “Leave us alone.”

I’m not expecting them to do as I say, so I’m surprised when feet scuff along the floor. Instead of looking, I listen intently, not relaxing until the only sound is coming from my heavy breathing.

Just as I realize I haven’t heard the door close, Alana calls out, “We’ll be right outside, Z.” Then she closes the door behind her.

Gray stands completely still. His eyes are wild, and he keeps clenching and unclenching his hands. He opens and closes his mouth a few times, looking like he’s attempting to find the words to answer me.

Back before I was at Gunner’s mercy, I would have easily gone toe-to-toe with Gray. I would have jumped him or slapped him to pull him out of whatever mental block he’s experiencing. But now… I lick my lips as I consider my options.

What should this version of me do?

I huff in irritation at not having the answer to something as simple as what I want to do. Then it hits me, and I quickly wrap my pinky around his. I pull at where our fingers are intertwined.

A visible shudder runs through his body as, slowly, his gaze turns sharp, focused, and he looks directly at me. “Her real name is… was Erin,” he rasps.

“Okay,” I say, softly.

“Fuck!” he roars, ripping his finger from mine.

I watch as he agitatedly paces the length of the room while running his fingers through his wavy hair. He keeps muttering to himself, and the only bits I pick up sound like nothing more than curses.

“Fuck!” While shouting out his frustration and anger, he kicks at everything that gets in his way.

Feeling at a loss on how to help him, I look down at my hands. That’s when I see it. The blood. I don’t know if it’s his or mine, and it doesn’t really matter.

“Gray,” I call, surprised at how steady my tone is. “Get over here.”

His head snaps in my direction, and when I show him my bloodied hand, he exhales audibly and rushes to my side.

“Does it hurt? Fuck, I completely forgot to—”

I roll my eyes. “Shut up for a second.
