Chapter Seven

KENZIE

We got Jaden’s uniform and his bag for school. He’s excited about starting school. He won’t stop talking as we’re on the bus back from Ending.

“So, do you think I’ll make some friends, Kenzie?”

“Of course you will. You’re very social. Are you excited about starting school?”

“Yes, I am. I want to make a couple of friends and maybe I can go to their houses and play. I’ve never done that.”

My heart breaks for him. Luis never allowed him out to play. He was constantly watched by bodyguards and wasn’t allowed friends.

“Of course you can go to their houses as long as I’ve met their parents. I can feel that everything is going to go really well for us, Jaden.”

“Yeah. I’ve never been this happy, Kenzie.”

I pull him into a hug just as the bus stops in the Happy Endings Resort. We climb off the bus with our bags and make our way back to our cabin. I feel the tiny hairs on my skin stand on end and turn around to see if anyone is watching me. It feels like someone is here, but when I turn around, there’s no one there.

Shivering, I pull myself together. There’s no one here. No one knows me. No one knows where I went. “Come on, Jaden. Let’s get home, then I’ll make us some dinner.”

“Yay,” he says, running ahead of me to the door.

When I unlock the door, I’m hesitant. I’m not sure why, but suddenly I expect the place to be trashed. I’m pleasantly surprised when it’s not. Everything is where it should be.

We unpack the bags and hang up his uniform. It makes me so proud to see it there. Only a few months ago, I didn’t think either of us were going to make it. We were prisoners in our own home and Jaden was going to have to be homeschooled.

As I’m making dinner, Jaden’s watching TV and everything feels normal. We’ve never been a normal family unit, but finally, it feels like we are now.

Since I got to Happy Endings Resort, I’ve been writing a journal. I want to be able to look back at this time in my life and realise how strong both of us are. I like to write it before I go to bed. Today, I want to write about the feeling of getting the school uniform for Jaden. To most people, this is an everyday occurrence, but my emotions are all over the place.

I go to take my journal out from the drawer in the hallway and it’s not there. I know I always put it back, just in case Jaden gets it, or more likely, Carter. I’ve written about my feelings for him.

Going into the kitchen, I search every drawer and cupboard there is. Nope, nothing. I check out my bedside locker and drawer. Nothing there either. Where the hell did I put it?

Freaking out, I go back over all the other places it could be. I don’t find it anywhere. That’s odd.
