The reddish-orange hues of the evening sky have long faded, replaced with twinkling stars lighting up the night. I inhale the fresh air, letting my feet roam where they may. I’ve always been a fan of walks to clear my mind. The song of the crickets and swaying trees are a welcome sound to my solitude. I don’t want to think of the mind fuck I just left back there. I knew standing by Diesel’s side would be no easy task, but the sucker punch was just as numbing. There is no other way to see it than he took her side. At that moment of decision, her feelings were the ones worth sparing. I question what the fuck I’m trying for. What is my loyalty really worth if it goes unnoticed—unappreciated.

I insert the earbuds that I snagged from the house before I left. Xander and Lily were so immersed into The Notebook, they barely acknowledged my presence. I’m ambivalent. I both envy and am equally happy for what they have. It’s such a beautiful thing when the feelings are mutual.

I hate these depressing thoughts eating away at my sanity. I turn the volume up when I hear Billy Idol’s “Eyes Without a Face.” I hum along, desperate to drown out anything unrelated to the melody. The roads are surprisingly quiet. Most of the rentals are some distance from our private one, giving me some indication of how far I’ve walked. The beach homes I’m surrounded by are not as exorbitant as the one we’re staying in but still amazing to look at. Still, there aren’t many people out even though it’s still fairly early. I take a few corners, enjoying my tour of beach homes.

A loud rumble above the sound of my music has me turning to see where the noise is coming from. A motorcycle nears, and I move closer to the lean of one of the houses to make sure I’m out of the way. Only when the rider slows and comes to a rolling stop next to me do I freeze—realizing the rider is Diesel.

He pulls the helmet off and runs a single hand through his hair. His face contorted in dissatisfaction.

“I’ve combed nearly this entire damn neighborhood looking for you,” he growls.

“Well, as you can see, I’m fine. I’m taking an evening stroll.” I give him my best fuck off stare before continuing. “You know, just trying to forget about the date who stood me up.”

Something passes over his stupidly handsome features, but it’s gone as quick as it appeared.

“I’m sorry about that,” he relents. “That’s why I came to find you. That is, until I found out that you left the house in the dark. Alone. What were you thinking?”

“I was thinking that I wanted to take a walk. And that I didn’t answer to anyone, so I could do what the hell I wanna do.”

I watch as he flexes his fists, reeling in his control instead of saying what’s on his mind.

“Listen. I get that you’re not happy with me at the moment.
