I wake up several hours later and the sun has gone down while I was out. I roll to my back. Laying my arm over my eyes, I feel the sting of tears hitting the various cuts marring my face. I gingerly take in a deep breath, preparing myself to sit up. Struggling, it takes me a while to get my body off the floor. I’m lightheaded as I stand, trying to get my bearings in the dark room. What little there is from the street lamp just outside my bedroom window, I find what I’m looking for.

I do my best to maneuver the mattress so there’s enough for me to lay on and collapse onto it. Finding the ripped sheet, I pull it over me. My whole body shivers and I continue to cry. I need Matthew. But do I want him to see me like this? Do I want to drag him into this? I don’t want Jake hurting him or any of his family. With thoughts of Matthew filling my head, I pass back out.

When the sun breaks under the small curtains covering the window, I haul myself up off the floor and head for the shower in my room. I stand there for a long time, letting the water rush over me. When the water runs cold I step out, wrapping a towel around my hips and go to my bag sitting at the foot of my bed. My phone rings and Leo’s name flashes across the screen.

I sigh as I answer it. “Yeah?”

“Where the fuck are you?” he barks at me.

“Well, hello to you too, man.”

“Where the hell have you been the past two days?” His tone is now a little less confrontational.

“Taking care of some personal business, brother.” I run my hand down my face.

“Oh,” he murmurs. “Everything okay?” Hearing concern in his voice isn’t something I’m used to.

“Yeah, got it taken care of. I’ll be heading back today.” I look across the hall to the room where I’d left the door cracked open. “I’ll need to talk to you and all the brothers when I get there.”

“Okay, I’ll set it up. Just let me know when.” The man can be a fucking bear, but when shit hits the fan, Leo shows up, the rock we all need.

“Thanks, brother.” I end the call and look down at the phone. I do it, I call her.

My call goes straight to voicemail. “Hey, babe, just checking in. Sorry it’s taken me so long to call but I wanted to let you know I’m coming home today. Can’t wait to see you.” I quickly hang up before I do something stupid, like tell her I think I might love her.

“Daddy?” A small voice from the hall grabs my attention. I turn with a smile on my face to find Jackson standing there, holding his blanket and bear in his tiny arms.

I tuck the towel tighter around me and hold my arms out to him. “Hey, little man.” He runs to me and I gather him up.
