Chapter Eleven

Jinx

Pyro didn’t speak with Lana for too long, and I know this because he took off out of the compound on his bike twenty minutes later. He’s been gone all day, it’s almost midnight, and he still isn’t home. I’m worried about him for many reasons. Pyro isn’t supposed to be riding his motorcycle yet, and last time he took off in a Lana induced emotional state, he went missing for months.

Speaking of Lana, she’s had a busy day with apologizing. Some understood, and some didn’t. Akela welcomed her back for a moment before letting her anger slip through the niceties. Smokey understands her reasoning the most out of everyone; for someone who doesn’t speak a lot, it’s weird.

I don’t personally know her, I know of how she was before she faked her death; from the stories, I’ve heard.

She was kind is the most popular reference.

I can’t lie.

I’m furious on behalf of Pyro.

She fucked him over really good with her ‘disappearing act’, which is why I’m sitting in the parking lot waiting for him. I’ll give it another hour or two before I give up for the day, and then tomorrow I’ll be right back out here, waiting for him to return. It is what people do when they care about someone.

I’m not out here hoping we can salvage our friends with benefits agreement we made last night, I’m out here with genuine concern, and the rest of his family should be out here too. It’s only two prospects at the gate, and myself and Lana.

She’s sitting at a different picnic table than me, but she’s out here.

It angers me.

Now she’s concerned about him?

What about when she faked her death? Why wasn’t she concerned about him then.

I give it ten more minutes before she’s over here trying to make conversation with me.

I can’t get over the way she dismissed his love for her, as if it meant nothing to her at all. He gives his all when he cares about a person, and I’ve discovered this for myself in the past few weeks we’ve grown close. I mean something to him and he cherishes it. He adores everything and everyone he cares about, so it’s sad to see how she did him wrong in this regard.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

“Jinx, right?”

I pull my sweater tighter around me. “Yes.”

“I’m Lana.”

Don’t roll your eyes, Jinx, don’t roll your eyes. “So, I’ve learned.”

“Do you think he’ll come back tonight,” she asks.

I motion for her to sit down with a flick of my hand and she does. “I don’t know. You have no idea the monster you’ve unleashed where his emotions are concerned, and that’s all I’m going to give you on him.”

“Do you love him?”

My mouth drops open in shock, and then I snap it shut. “As a person, yes. I’m not in love with him.”

I do love him, but I’m not in love with him. There’s a huge difference.

“You got here in the nick of time,” I smart off. “Congratulations.”

Lana shivers from the wind, she should have put on a sweater before waiting outside in the middle of the night.
