Chapter 18 Rebel

I SLIP THE RING INTO my pocket. That ring freaks me out but I can’t do anything about it until I see Flynn and right now, we’ve got that lawyer’s appointment.

When we get back from the lawyers, we sit in the kitchen drinking coffee and not really talking. It’s sinking in. Dad’s gone. He’s gone forever. And while a part of me hates him for what he did, I miss him. He was my dad, the one who always took my side again Mum and Jessica. If he was still here, I’d scream and rage at him. I’d want to kill him but I still love him.

The silence in the kitchen cuts through me. Would it be bad go to my room? Or to Flynn. That’s what I really want to do. I need to get that ring to him. Now. But Mum and Jessica would never forgive me for leaving now.

“I love you, Mum.” Jessica jumps up and hugs Mum, encasing Mum in her arms and almost spilling Mum’s coffee. “Don’t ever go away again.”

Mum exchanges glances with me, rolling her eyes. This is so out of character for Jessica. I bet Mum thinks she’s emotional from the will reading.

After a couple of minutes of hugging, Mum brushes her off but Jessica pulls her chair over so that they are almost touching.

At least one thing is going my way. With Mum home and back to her usual self, no way can Jessica and Kaden go through with their evil plans. No need for me to stick around, no need for me to protect Mum.

"I'm going to start work at the accounting firm on Monday, no point wasting any more of the summer," Jessica says. "And I'm going to live here with you until the wedding. Actually, maybe Kaden and I should move in here after we're married."

I eye-roll so hard I almost choked but Mum smiles. "That'd be lovely."

Mum's just as sucked in by Kaden as Jessica is. How can they not see what an evil slimeball the guy is?

I have to get away from the two of them. As pleased as I am to see Mum safe at home, I can’t forget what she'd done. Sure, she begged for my forgiveness but did that even count? She was a different person then. Now that whole period has been wiped from her mind.

I look at her and wonder if she'd do it again, how far she'd go to keep Flynn and me apart. And, while I’m glad to see her back to normal, that doesn’t mean I trust her.

Mum gets up and gathers our empty cups. She takes them to the dishwasher and Jessica joins her. Then the two of them decide to do some Mum and Jessica thing, leaving me at a loose end.

I could go to the Belford house but it’s getting dark and he’ll be soon. Instead, I jump the fence and wait for him. So eager to get out of here that I jump on his bike before he even pulls up.
