“TANNER WAIT!” I CALL, rushing out the front door after him.

He turns and walks down an alley, completely ignoring me. I run as fast as I can to catch up, ducking into the darkness after him. I finally catch up to him mid-way down, and I grab his shoulder, stopping him. He spins around, panting with rage, and barks, “Give up. You’ve done what you came here to do. What more could you possibly fuckin’ want from me?”

“I want to tell you I’m sorry,” I pant. “Not about what happened, but about Celia. Nobody should ever have to find out someone they love so dearly has gone through something like that. I never meant to cause you any pain uncovering the truth about her. I didn’t know that...”

His eyes narrow and he crosses his big arms. “Didn’t know what?”

“I didn’t know that’s what happened to her,” I confess, my voice dropping low. “I knew she had gotten hurt, I knew Chase was involved, I knew Tatum helped him but I didn’t know exactly what it was that happened to her. I knew Tatum would admit it if I was clever, and he did.”

He gives me a feral smile, one made up of anger and rage. “Excellent little plan, Callie. It worked out well for you then, didn’t it? You got exactly what you wanted. You got your revenge on all of us. Fuck, you really are clever, aren’t you? Does it feel good? I know it made me feel good, for a time.”

“I never...”

“Don’t,” he growls. “Don’t you stand there and tell me you never meant for me to get hurt, because you damn well did. I know what I did to you, you know what I did to you. This is what you wanted. You wanted me to fuckin’ suffer.”

God, he’s not listening.

He’s just not listening.

It’s not even entirely about him. At least I’m here saying sorry for what I did. He hasn’t given me that pleasure yet. He is far too angry at me, to see that he started this damn war. Now he can’t handle how it has ended.

“Why is this all about you?” I cry. “I’m the one who killed your sister. I’m the one who went away for it. I’m the one who got tormented for months because of it. Don’t you dare fucking turn it all around on me. You’re right, I am a monster, but I learned from the very best.”

He bares his teeth, and leans in close, “Be very fuckin’ careful what your next words are.”

“Or what?” I say, stepping up to his face. “What are you going to do that you already haven’t done? You’ve made my life a living hell, you’ve hurt me in ways you couldn’t imagine, and all along I thought you were a good man. The best type. The kind I could trust.”

“Well, how fuckin’ wrong you were.”

“Yeah,” I say, my words coming out like acid. “How fuckin’ wrong I was.”

“You’ve had your fun, Callie. Go home.”

“I’m not done, Tanner.
