Chapter 16

Jagger

By the time I pull into the driveway of my childhood home back in L.A. it’s almost four o’clock in the morning. The house is dark and quiet, I feel nervous about what Sadie might tell me. I’ve tried to figure out what her words meant the whole way here. If I ever cared about Londynn I needed to get back here. During the trip I had come up with a thousand different scenarios, none of which were good. I pause at the front door and take deep a breath before quietly unlocking it and stepping inside.

It seems everyone is asleep because the house is completely dark. I hear the leather of the couch moving and look that way. Immediately I assume Axell is in the dog house with Sadie but as I step into the living room I notice the moonlight catching the honey colored hair laid across the pillow. Londynn. What is Londynn doing asleep on the couch? Looking down at her I realize that out of all the scenarios I thought up this one never came to mind. There is a bag of unfrozen peas lying in her hand. The side of her face I can see is black and blue and slightly swollen, there’s a cut on her lip. The rage that takes over me at the sight of her makes me want to go beat whoever did this to her but instead I quietly go to my room and slip on a pair of sweats and muscle tank.

On my way back to the living room I stop in the kitchen and grab another bag of frozen veggies. I slowly lower it on her face then I sit down on the floor beside the couch. As I listen to her even breathing I let my mind wonder. I should have been here. I shouldn’t have left her the way I did. Who could have done this to her?

At some point I must have fallen asleep because I wake up to the sound of Jovi in the kitchen getting breakfast. The moonlight has been replaced with the sun. I get up and go into the kitchen but not before checking on Londynn. She’s still asleep so I collect the now thawed bags of veggies. When I enter Jovi is at the table eating a big bowl of Lucky Charms. “Jagger?” he asks with his mouth full.

I ruffle his hair “Don’t talk with your mouth full it’s not a good quality,"

He laughs and swallows his cereal before continuing. “When did you get back?”

I’m trying to keep the noise down, but Jovi doesn’t seem to get that. “Damn, keep it down dude," I say chuckling.

“Why?” he asks with a confused look on his face.

I nod towards the living room “Londynn Parrish is asleep on our couch.”

“Ohhh…I wonder if that’s why Axell and Sadie left out last night?”

I shrug “I don’t know but I would guess so. Now, to answer your other question I got back this morning.

He continues eating and I go to make a pot of coffee.
