Chapter Ten

Madison

I drove faster than I should have. It had nothing to do with being worried about the kids. I was angry. Angry at Ralph and how the night turned out. Part of me was angry at Jace. It felt like there was somebody else trying to tell me what to do. His words, though, kept playing over again in my mind. By the time I made it to my house, I had sufficiently worked myself up.

Ralph’s car was parked on the street. Just seeing it fueled my anger. I threw my car in park, grabbed my purse and overnight bag, and jumped out. I slammed the door behind me. Usually, I did a much better job of hiding my emotions. Keeping my anger and frustration hidden from the kids. But, I was too far gone for that. What I could do was make sure they didn’t witness what was about to happen.

He got out of his car and watched as I stormed over. I saw him look at my overnight bag. That just made me angrier. The kids were climbing out of the car. They were in their pajamas and looked tired. Why wouldn’t they? It was way past their bedtime. Their father decided to drag them out into the night.

Alexis looked like she was practically asleep on her feet. Ryan looked at me quizzically. He could tell I was angry. Ralph opened his mouth to speak.

“No. Just no. You stay right here. I am bringing them inside, then I will be right back.”

I brought the kids to the house, let them in, and turned on the lights.

“Ryan, walk Alexis to her room and then you go to bed. I’m going outside to talk to your father.”

“I bet you’re going to yell at him. You look like you want to yell at someone.”

“Take you and your sister to bed. I’ll be back to tuck you in in few minutes.”

Ryan grabbed Alexis by the hand and started to lead her down to her room. I tossed my purse and bag on the couch, grabbed my phone and went outside. I wasn’t entirely certain he wouldn’t leave before I got out there, so I moved quickly.

He was still there, leaning against his car with his arms crossed. I never broke eye contact with him as I approached.

“You look like a bull seeing red, Madison.”

“Shut up.”

He chuckled, amused by my anger. It only fueled my fire.

“A little frustrated, are you?”

There was no mistaking his emphasis on the word “frustrated”.

“This ends now, Ralph.”

He was still leaning back casually on his car. The fact that he didn’t seem at all affected my anger enraged me more. Jace was right about that much. This had gone on for too long. I let it go on for far too long.

“What are you talking about, Madison?”

Even the sound of my name on his lips was grating.

“Cut the bullshit. There was no reason for you to bring the kids back tonight.”

“I had a reason.”

“Your reasons don’t count. There was nothing wrong with the kids.
