God, I’m so in love with Drake, it’s insane. But, how can that be possible, when there is so much bullshit going on right now? And is it all going to go down in flames when he finds out how many lies I’ve told recently? I’m afraid that he’ll never look at me the same way again. My body still feels like it’s vibrating since he held me so close earlier. And my mind won’t stop rewinding and replaying that kiss from the other day. He’s an incredible kisser. But I’ll probably never know what it’s like to follow through and finish that kiss.

I can’t stop thinking about tomorrow, either. Tomorrow is the day that while we celebrate Luke’s birthday, we also risk losing everything, and everyone, for that matter. I don’t know what Denton and Dexter have planned, but I’m scared, and I can’t tell anyone or there’s no telling what they might do. As much as I’m sure he doesn’t have my phone tapped or me bugged so far, I’m not sure if he will, since we’re down to the wire. I figure I’ll pack my gun in the waistband of my jeans, keeping it well hidden, wearing a jean jacket or a vest, and shoot him the moment I see him.

Will I have the guts to do it? I really hope so. It’s making me sick just thinking about it, but it’s making me even sicker thinking about what he will do to my family and friends if I don’t. Almost everyone in Texas that I know carries on a regular basis, anyhow, and one can only hope that someone spots the loser, and takes care of him, maybe, too. That whole warehouse knows what Denton’s partner Dexter looks like, since he’s a former employee, and I know very well what Denton looks like, so it would be easy for me to do something about it as soon as possible.

I’m sitting on my couch, clenching, not realizing it, when there is a knock at my door. It startles me to the point that I scream, I’m so keyed up inside. “Who is it?” I ask, walking to the door, knowing, or at least hoping, that Denton didn’t grow a huge set of balls and decided to come knocking on my door this time. Any neighbor of mine would get a good look at him, and he’d be sunk. He's stupid enough to stake out my house from the street, as I’m sure that some neighbors have noticed him. Hell, if Drake noticed, I’m certain others have.

“It’s me, Kiley. Let me in, it’s freezing out here.”

I open the door, feeling relief. “Hey.”

“Did I hear you shriek?” she chuckles.

“Yeah. I was…watching a scary thing on my phone. Freaked me out. One of those ones where it’s puppies and babies and then that freak-ass chick from The Exorcist is pasted on the screen. Your knock was ill timed.”

She laughs. “God, I hate those.” Kiley has a bag full of groceries.

“What’s all this?” I ask, taking it from her.
