Chapter Sixteen

Every night that Rhian was at my house, we hung out with Zac and Porter. I wasn’t complaining because Zac and I had gone too long without seeing each other, but there was definitely something brewing between Rhian and Porter. I had “the talk” with her about him twice, but she was a big girl and would make her own decisions.

Mostly we just hung out at my house but also went to the lake again and I even took Rhian into Detroit because she’d never been before, although that trip was just the two of use since the guys had to work at the parts store.

Zac had Dylan the weekend Rhian went back home, so I planned to keep to myself. She didn’t want to go and promised to be back, but she had to go. Plus she assured me that she never went further than flirting with Porter. Dodged that bullet given that girls usually fell for him and his… talents but he had never once returned the feeling.

It was only ten o’clock on Friday night, but I was tired due to still not sleeping well and with Rhian around, we’d stayed up really late every single night, so I was spent. Still, I had to make a quick stop at the grocery store because we’d also eaten everything in the house.

Then I heard it again.

Another low thud sent a wave of adrenaline through my body. It’d come from my dad’s room for sure.

Someone was in there.

I quietly set the two bags I was carrying onto the floor and glanced around for my phone. Shit. My purse wasn’t anywhere around me which meant I left it in the car and with it, my phone.

As quietly as possible, I turned on my Converse-covered heel and slowly took quick steps toward the door, doing my best to be invisible. It was so quiet, I was convinced whoever was in my house would hear the erratic beat of my heart before my footsteps or smell the fear trailing down my back.

Something thumped loudly in my dad’s room causing my heart rate to spike even more. It thumped in my ears and all I wanted was to get out of there. What could they even be after anyway? There wasn’t anything expensive in the house.

I just didn’t understand.

Instinct told me that I only had a few more moments before whoever was in my father’s room came out and I didn’t want to be here when they did.

Once through the front door, I ran,
