Chapter 15

Kane

My phone starts to buzz in my hands and Coach’s name is popping up on the screen.

Fuck.

“You should answer that.” She crosses her arms, eyes full of stubborn defiance.

“Why would you-”

“You wanted everyone to know.” She shrugs. “Now, everyone will.”

“Jesus, Brynne.” I’m so angry, I don’t trust myself to say anything else.

As soon as my phone stops, it starts up again.

I can’t ignore him. But I also can’t let her get away with her little stunt. I know exactly why she did it. I pushed her too hard. And instead of admitting the truth, that she needs me, she lashed out. Burying us both.

I won’t let her get away with it. But right now, I have to deal with Coach before he ends up at my door, and we have a whole other problem on our hands - me in a seven by two wooden box, six feet under.

She gives me a triumphant smile, then turns and walks away like she hasn’t just completely fucked me over.

“We’re not done talking, Brynne.”

Ignoring me, she walks down the hall towards the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. A few seconds later, I hear the shower turn on.

When the phone starts ringing for the third time, I finally answer it. “Hey, Coach.”

I have to hold the phone away from my ear as he screams a string of explicit curses that amount to him wanting to cut my balls off and feed them to my dead whore of a mother.

“To think I trusted you, Madden. I let you into my goddamn house. And this is how you repay me? Sneaking around behind my back. I expect this from Brynne, but you…” His ranting slows, and I can hear the hurt in his voice, the slur of his words. He’s been drinking again.

I rub the back of my neck, not knowing what to say. Even the truth sounds like a bullshit excuse.

“She’s staying with you?”

“Yeah.”

“And she’s pregnant?”

“No.” I steel myself for his reaction, then say, “She had a baby. A boy. Three months old. I didn’t know about him until recently, but he’s-”

More cursing. This time, I hear something shatter on the other end of the phone.

I could handle anything but the deafening silence that follows. Long, painful seconds. I wait. I’ve known the man long enough not to interrupt his thoughts, even if they’re devising a plan to get rid of me. Or to see me tied up and gagged at the bottom of the river.

“A boy?” His words slur.

“Yeah.”

“What’s his name?”

“Noah.”

More silence, but I swear I hear the man sob.

“Can I…would she let me see him?”

I don’t know.

“I’ll talk to her.”

He breathes out heavily before ending the call.

I slam my phone down on the counter. Despite how fucking well Coach seemed to take the news, I know once he sobers up, there will be hell to pay, and questions to answer.

Do I think he’ll try to trade me? No. Because I know what Coach wants. The same thing I do - Brynne. And if I leave this damn city, she’s coming with me.
