Alana

* * *

I stare at the door, trying as hard as I can to hold back the utter rage coursing through me. What stops me from flying off the handle like I want is a small movement from the baby. I remind myself to hold it together for their sake. I have to.

Megan’s gone and hasn’t come back. She disappeared the second Kam ambushed me in the pool, too distraught that Mr. Perfect Prince fucking Charming came on to me. I angrily swipe the back of my hand across my mouth, but that isn’t good enough to get the feel and taste of Kam off of me. I stomp into the bathroom, snatch my toothbrush off the counter, squeeze much more toothpaste than needed onto the bristles and brush my teeth more vigorously than I ever have. I cover every inch of my mouth with toothpaste as I desperately try to get rid of the taste of Kam’s disgusting slimy saliva.

I scrub and brush until my gums can’t take it anymore before swishing mouthwash around, then I hop in the shower to wash away everything else.

But, it can’t wash away the fact that I feel like shit for Megan. I don’t want to because she needed to see that. She needed to see the rest, too, but if she could barely handle one kiss, I have no idea what seeing what happened after would have done to her. She put so much of her trust and faith in Kameron that this must be like a punch to the gut for her. The one person in the world she trusted not only kidnapped her but also came on to me. I already knew he wasn’t shit, but this is devastating news for her.

I knew that wasn’t a solid plan. I growl at Veronica. I knew he’d react this way!

She doesn’t say anything as I cross the room heading into the tub.

What? So now you don’t have shit to say? I seethe.

If my thoughts could yell, they'd shatter glass with how much anger is behind them.

I’m sorry, okay?! She says. I didn’t know he’d come on to you as fast as he did. I thought he’d be more loyal than that. I didn’t know it’d take two seconds to get under his skin. What other plan did we have to go with?!

Anything would have been better! Thanks to your genius fucking idea, I’m stuck in here for who the hell knows how long! If I would’ve just gone with my plan-

“FUCK!” I yell at the ceiling.

Calm down, Alana, she orders.

Nope, you don’t get to tell me what to do anymore, I snip. If I hadn’t listened to you at the beginning of all of this, we wouldn’t still be in this mess. I could’ve already made him let us go. But I went with your plan! Just sit back and shut the fuck up now, Veronica, or I swear to fucking God I’m going to figure out how to block your ass out.
