YOU OWE ME BIG TIME FOR THIS -Q

I’m not sure why I didn’t see it before. Lucas didn’t give me this room because he knew I was coming to ask for it. Quinton did this. Damn him. Now I’m back to being in his debt, and I’m positive I liked it more when he wanted nothing to do with me.

QUINTON

I moved the cameras to her new room the first day she moved in. I haven’t seen her face to face in a week, but I spend most of my time in my room watching her in her room. A lot of the time, she isn’t even doing anything besides reading a book, and yet this is the most entertaining thing I can think of.

There is definitely something wrong with me. My obsession with her is both concerning and annoying. I know it, Ren knows it, my father probably knows it too, but none of that is stopping me.

No matter how insane my little fixation with Aspen is, it does do one thing, it distracts me from the grief and anger that’s constantly brewing right below the surface. Anything is better than that.

Though I enjoy simply watching her, the tape Ren let me listen to still weighs on my mind heavily. Anyone could have recorded that one tape, and part of me believes Aspen. Like she pointed out in the shower, she is a shitty liar, and I don’t think she is lying about this. Plus, if the wire was on her, why is there no tape of the incident with Matteo? My father wouldn’t have kept that from me. Would he? He seemed shocked when I told him about it, but, of course, unlike Aspen, he is an excellent liar.

I guess there is only one way to find out.

Using the trackpad on my laptop, I exit out of the video feed from her room and open Skype instead. I haven’t called my father in so long, I have to scroll down to even find his number. The moment I click his name, an uneasy feeling spreads in my gut. I hate I feel this way about my father, but I can’t help resenting him for the things he’s done, and I honestly don’t think this will change.

The line rings only for a short while before my father picks up. He rarely shows emotions, but he can’t hide the surprise in his gaze as he answers the video chat. He is in his office at home; the familiar shelves filled with books and framed pictures fill the background of the screen.

“Quinton, is everything okay?” Slight concern lingers in his tone, something else I’m not used to.

“Yeah, I’m fine, but I need something.”

My father leans closer to the camera. “What do you need? I’ll send it to you, whatever it is, you know that.”

“Ren let me listen to the tape you sent him. I want to listen to the rest.”

Within a split second, my father’s usual stoic mask slips into place, not giving a sliver of emotion away when he speaks next.
