Chapter 8

Ian

Kaitlyn hasn’t replied to my text for over an hour. At first I figured she might be away from her phone, looking up some reference material in the library, but as the minutes tick by, I get more and more worked up. I finally give up on my book after reading the same sentence for the last ten minutes and just stare at my phone, willing it to vibrate. Nothing from her. It bothers me more than it should because she always replies. Always.

A vision pops into my head of Kaitlyn and that guy that’s always sitting beside her in class, Jake or Jason or something. What if she’s studying with him? So what if she is, my mind snaps back. It’s not like you guys talked about being monogamous. My head might be logical, but I still feel a tightening pressure at the thought of it that makes me jump off the couch and pace. She’s mine. I don’t want anyone else to have her. Just imagining someone seeing her gorgeous and naked on the bed, her crying out their name instead of mine as she comes makes me see red. I am possessive of her, even though I have no right. I feel like I have to do something to quell this irrational fear that Kaitlyn is slipping through my fingers so I grab my phone and call her.

Jealousy. Who knew it could make someone almost physically sick?

“Come on, come on, pick up,” I mutter under my breath.

It goes to voicemail, and it confirms my thoughts. Instead of just putting down the phone though, I find myself dialing her number again. This time she picks up right away.

“Kaitlyn,” I say.

“Yes?” her voice sounds hushed.

I try to compose myself before I speak again.

“How’s your thesis? You didn’t respond and I-”

She’s talking to someone, and it’s muffled, like she’s covered up the phone.

“What was that?” she says, tuning in again.

“Are you with someone?” The question comes out before I can stop it.

There’s a long pause. Fuck, she is with someone. I’m just about ready to tell her to forget it, I’d call her later when she speaks up again.

“I’m at the hospital. My Grandma’s in surgery.”

Her last words break off into a sob. The anger I was feeling dissipates immediately, replaced by a surge of protectiveness and remorse. Now that I notice it, there’s a stuffed quality to her voice, like her nose has been running. I’m an idiot.

“What happened Kaitlyn?”

“They think she had a heart attack and she fell.”

The tears are definitely coming back. Hearing her crying there, all alone, is more than I can take.

“Where are you? I’m coming.”

“You don’t have to do that,” she says automatically.

“Kaitlyn, tell me where you are. I’m coming.”

I’m already tearing through the house, grabbing my coat and keys and slamming the door as she gives me directions. It’s over an hour away to the hospital, but I can step on the gas. It’s a weekend, so cops are probably out in full force, but I don’t care.
