Taylor

I so want to pretend none of that happened. That the sheriff didn't come banging on my door looking for Adam, accusing him of having a part in his father’s disappearance. That Adam's angry outburst afterwards didn't scare me senseless.

But I can't.

I spent the first few hours after he left in a sort of fugue state, finding myself doing things I didn't even realize I'd started to do. And it's not getting better. I feel like everything is crashing down, and I can hardly find myself beneath all the rubble, can't find the woman I was before I came here, met Adam, let myself go with him. I was so close to telling him I loved him yesterday, and today he might be a murderer.

Last night, I didn’t wake once until the sheriff woke me. Adam could’ve gone out and come back without me knowing. I want to believe he didn’t, that he’d never hurt anyone. But I don’t know him, not really, and his anger when he told me about his father was frightening. I can’t deny that.

He might have done something to him.

And as much as I want to not believe that, I can’t.

I need to speak to someone.

But who? Claire, no way. She'll just judge. Amanda maybe? We used to be best friends, but she's more Claire's friend now. Has been since I started seeing Henry, and spending all my time with him.

Henry?

I have about fifty missed calls from him, and twice as many messages. If nothing else, it means he wants to talk to me.

He's also the only person I trust to set me straight. And the only one I can't tell about any of this.

We're broken up. I ended it with him. But what if he was telling the truth? What if there is no other woman? And even if there was, me being with Adam makes us even. Doesn't it?

I listen to the last voicemail he left, his voice cracking up as he tells me how much he misses me. That he doesn't understand how I could just leave him like that.

And suddenly, I don't understand it either. Not at all. My fingers dial his number on their own.

"Taylor, where have you been?" he more breathes than says into the phone.

"I've…I've…" my voice is too shaky to say anything more.

"I've been looking for you, but no one from your family has been very forthcoming with the information," Henry says, and there's his whiny anger riding the words, but I'm content to ignore it. Why wouldn't anyone tell him where I was? I guess Claire spilled the beans on us being broken up. She probably couldn't wait to do that. And I'm sure Mom and Dad couldn't be happier. They were never supportive of Henry and me.

"I needed some time," I say.

"And now you're ready to listen to reason?" he says curtly, adding, "Because I'm not ready to let you go, Taylor. I need you," in a softer tone.

A flood of something very sad erupts in my chest, feels a lot like homesickness.
