Chapter Seven

Titus

Of all the things I thought would happen today, I didn’t expect this. To lose Tink before I ever had her. I growl in frustration, slamming my fists into a wall as she runs off. My life is ruined if she isn’t in it.

Dramatic? Maybe, but it’s how I fucking feel. She is meant to be mine. I feel it in my bones. But now she’s gone.

And it feels like the world has collapsed all over again.

I lost my best friend. I can’t lose the girl too.

“Why did you set me up to fail?” I shout at Johnny and Teddy.

“I didn’t realize how serious you were about her. Now I know you aren’t messing around with my granddaughter.”

“And how do you know that?”

“Because I fell in love at first sight too, son. I know the signs.”

“She doesn’t want to see me,” I say.

“Go change her mind,” Teddy tells me, handing me the rosebush.

“Don’t let her go.” Johnny hands me a sweatshirt and I pull it on, not looking back.

I run after her even though she doesn't stop when I ask her to, I run after her even though the look in her eyes when she stepped into the cage nearly broke me. She watched me knock out her best friend; will she ever trust me now?

I run after her even though I've lost the right to ask for her heart. I run after her because the truth of it is, she has mine. All of it.

And damn, I can’t just watch her run away without fighting for one more chance.

For us, it wasn't exactly love at first sight, but it sure as hell was love at second sight. I thought I was falling for her last night, and just now, when I saw her at the gym — her eyes blazing with emotion and hot tears streaming down her cheeks — I knew. Hell, I know I love this girl.

And I'll do anything I can to make sure she is safe and protected. To make sure she knows she's not alone in this world. Even if my actions today have told her otherwise.

I know what she's thinking. That I'm a liar. That I’m full of shit; hell, through her eyes, I can see her point. But if I can just get her to stop running, if I can just get her to turn around, then I can explain.

I don't know where she's headed, but I keep after her. But when I see her turn into a cemetery, tears fill my eyes. I haven't been to one since Jordan died, and I have a feeling I know whose grave she's headed for.

She told me last night that her parents had died. Her grandparents raised her. And as I watch her slow her pace from a run to a walk, I pause, giving her space.

Even though I want her, it doesn't mean I get her without permission. I watch as she falls to her knees, as her fingertips brush against the tombstones of her parents.
