Chapter 7

Quinn

I spent the weekend with my parents in their hotel suite. I shut my phone off the whole time, because I didn’t want to see Zane trying to reach me. I cried a lot, yelled a lot, and hurt even more than I did last time we broke up. My parents said nothing at all until Sunday night. Then they shocked the hell out of me.

“You need to talk to Zane,” my dad tells me.

“What? You’re on his side?”

“We’re always on your side, Quinn. You know that. But I believe that he loves you and Whitney isn’t pregnant with his child. I’m not sure about the older boy, but even if he is Zane’s son, that doesn’t mean you can’t be together.”

“I agree with your father. Talk to him. If you still can’t be with him, then that’s your choice. But you owe it to both you and Zane to hear what he has to say.”

I know they’re right. I need to at least hear him out. I head back to my place, but stop at his door instead of mine when I get off the elevator. I knock, but he doesn’t answer. I guess he’s not home. I’ll try him again in the morning.

I go into my apartment and plug in my phone, deciding that I need to turn it on and watch the texts and missed calls come up. I read and listen to the ones from Yasmin, Chloe, Candi, Olivia, Scott, and Owen first. They all tell me to talk to Zane. That things aren’t as they seem. I take a deep breath before opening Zane’s texts. There’s only two, and no voicemails, which surprises me more than a little.

Friday 10:38 PM

Zane: I love you, Quinn. Please talk to me.

Sunday 3:17 PM

Zane: You’re obviously not going to call me. I understand, and I won’t push. Just come to me when you’re ready to talk. I LOVE YOU SO, SO MUCH!

I put my head back against the couch. He’s going to give me time, like he did when he moved here for me. Even though it’s probably killing him, he’s going to let me take the lead again. God, I love him so much. I have to work tomorrow, but I’ll stop by his place after. We can talk, and hopefully, be together again. I have to believe everything will work out. If not, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to survive losing him again.

I wake up the next morning eager to see Zane. I know we won’t have time for a long talk before I have to work, but I can at least let him know that I want to talk to him. I shower and dress quickly before heading next door. I stop in my tracks when I see his door open. Did something happen to him? I rush inside and see the maids cleaning his apartment. I’m a little confused because we don’t use the maid service. Neither one of us think it’s fair to give them extra work.
