CHAPTER ELEVEN

Staying at my mum and dads had been fun… for the first few days. But I’ve been here for two weeks recovering and now I’m ready to go home for some peace and quiet.

Everyone, at one time or another, has come to keep me company or check up on me. Beau has even been around most days, just not when he’s at work or working late. Seeing him, though, made my day. I was worried when I first agreed to recover at my parents that I wouldn’t get to see him, but I needn’t have.

I needed my parents though, not just the safety of their presence and for peace of mind, but because I needed Mum’s help. As much as I knew Beau would take care of me, without even being asked, I needed my mum to help me shower, so I didn’t get my cast or stitches wet.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay another week?”

“I’m ready to go home, Mum. I’ll have Beau across the hall and Roxy with me all the time.” Roxy, who was sent to a neighbour’s after Mum got the call, hasn’t left my side since I returned home. She’d gone for walks with the boys, but always whined to come back, positioning herself in protective mode.

“She has been a little soldier. I thought she was going to tackle Landon when he walked in.”

I giggle. “It did seem like he was sneaking in. She just didn’t realise it’s how he always walks.”

Mum laughs. “All right, but the minute you feel like you want to come back, ring me or your dad and we’ll be there. When is Beau picking you up?”

“Any second.”

As if hearing me, a horn blares from outside. “Must be him.”

Mum carries my bags to the front door. We’re greeted by Beau and I smile like a goof at seeing him. He couldn’t stop by yesterday since he was at work. It feels like it’s been a week though.

“Hey.” I wave, feeling lame.

“Hey, you ready?” He charms me with a grin as I nod eagerly. We step outside, Mum following us.

We’re at the end of the walkway when we hear a commotion to our left. I jump, startled, but sigh with relief when I see Aiden, Ashton, Mark, Trent and Jacob running towards us. Jacob pushes Aiden into the bush outside Harlow and Malik’s, and his feet flying in the air knock Trent forwards.

“What on earth?” Mum gasps.

“This should be fun,” Beau chuckles.

“Faith,” Aiden yells, getting back to his feet.

Mark tackles Ashton to the floor a few feet in front of us. It’s Jacob, followed by Aiden and Trent who stand in front of us, gasping for air.

“Faith,” Mark breathes out, panting.

“I’ll come stay with you,” Jacob offers.

Yeah, because his parents would let him.

“Dude, she’s my fucking sister. I’m staying with her,” Mark snaps.

“You’ve got your own place. I’ll stay with her; I’m her favourite,” Aiden yells at Mark. Mark pushes him back, before stepping further in front of me.

“I’ll help do the cleaning.
