Chapter Sixteen

The guilt settled in shortly after Kenna left. I was out with my two best friends, and she was somewhere feeling alone and abandoned, two things I knew well. It had never been my intention to make her feel like that. I wanted Kenna to accept me for who I was, respect me.

Didn’t I have to do the same?

Even if she was like those girls I detested?

None of us in the shopping mood, Mads, Ainsley, and I forewent the stores for food. When I was stressed, I normally sought either booze or sex to make me feel nothing. Since neither of those was readily available, I opted for food.

The vibe for the day drifted more or less to somber, but I still tried to enjoy hanging out with Ainsley, since it had been too long. Mads also did her best to keep up a light and fun attitude, but I could see how much her spat with Kenna bothered her. My heart ached for Mads, and I was upset with how Kenna treated her. It was wrong and unfair for Kenna to put Mads between us, to try and force her to choose.

I would like to think that I would never put my friends in those situations.

It was just after four o’clock when I walked into the house, heading upstairs to quickly shower and get ready for work. I had to be there in less than an hour. Regardless of how my day started, I was grateful that I’d been able to spend time with Ainsley. She was the one person who kept me grounded, reminded me of who I was and where I came from in this greedy and materialistic world I now lived in.

I often missed the simplicity of my life before. But then I pictured it without Brock, and I couldn’t imagine going back to how things had been before the Elite.

It just wasn’t possible.

Speak of the damn devil and he shall appear. Brock was in my room, and judging by the look on his face, he wasn’t happy about something. “What happened?” I quickly asked after entering the room and spotting him. I stood in the doorway, waiting for him to deliver the bad news.

He sat on the edge of my bed. His eyes lifted to mine, and I didn’t like the turmoil I saw in them. “Why did Kenna call me in tears to pick her up? What happened?”

I jerked, taken aback. “Are you kidding me? She called you. Fucking figures.” My blood pressure rose, and I could feel my anger taking shape. “You don’t even have a car!” I pointed out, attempting to figure out how she expected him to save her.

He gave a small shrug. “I took one of my parents’ when I went back to grab some stuff from my house.”

My arms folded over my chest from where I stood in the center of the room. “So you did pick her up?”

He raised his brows. “What did you want me to do? Leave her stranded?”

I gaped at him for a moment before shaking my head.
