When the worst of it was over, and I could actually see well enough to drive, I got out of there. I wasn’t even sure where to go, but I knew if I stayed here long enough, someone would find me. If not George, then Sam or Angela – and I didn’t want to face any of them. I’d texted my mother earlier that I’d decided to go to the dance after all and she’d told me to have fun and she’d see me at home. She was probably there now, which meant Wes was gone – finally. But I didn’t want my mom to see me like this, either.

I weaved through some back roads for awhile, still unable to decide on a destination. I came to the intersection that would either lead me home or back through my maze of turns. At the stop sign, I swiped my hand across my cheek and sniffled, trying to pick a direction.

The sound of a racing engine reached my ears, and I glanced up to my rearview. A car came speeding up behind me and screeched to a halt, inches from my bumper. I watched as the driver’s side door opened, and a figure stepped out. I couldn’t see him until he stepped into the glare of the car’s headlights, but I already knew.

Wes strode up to my window and beat on it with the side of his fist. His eyes were wild and his expression was fierce. I hesitated, wondering how far I’d make it if I tried punching the gas. Not far, I was sure. I sighed and unlocked the door. Before I could even reach the handle, Wes had wrenched my door open and pulled me to my feet.

“What the hell were you thinking? Where have you been?” he demanded, his hands squeezing my shoulders. “Do you have any idea how stupid that was? Anything could’ve happened to you. What if I hadn’t found you first?”

His questions were rhetorical, I think, but I attempted an answer anyway. “I went to the dance,” I said, trying to sound angry and sure of myself. “I told you, I’m done.”

“Well, I don’t care if you’re done or over it or whatever. I have a job to do, and you’re making it impossible!”

“Well, how about I make it easy for you? You’re fired. Job over. Leave. Me. Alone.” My voice broke a little at the end but he didn’t seem to notice. His eyes were still wild and a little unfocused and even though he stood only inches from me, I don’t think he really saw me. My words only seemed to make him angrier.

“Stop saying that.” His fingers increased their pressure on my shoulders, and I winced. It probably wouldn’t have hurt if my muscles weren’t still sore and stiff from training, but just that small amount of pressure was enough to cause a small shot of pain.

My reaction seemed to finally get through to him because he instantly released my arms and stepped back.
