Now where the hell did Vee go? I poke my head back into the nail salon, but I don’t see her anywhere. I want to get out of here. I pull out my phone to see a text from her saying she grabbed a ride from Arch. I stare at it, not sure I’m understanding it because a little while ago she’d insisted that nothing would ever happen between the two of them.

My phone starts to ring the second I get into my car. I have no idea where I’m going to go right now, but I know I need to get away from both my dad and Jason. I consider not answering my dad’s call, but it’s really hard to ignore him. That man has done nothing but be there for me my entire life. So even though I’m upset with him, I pick up the call.

“Will you meet me at home, sweetheart?” he asks. “We have to talk about this.”

“Fine,” I agree. It’s always hard to tell my dad no. I know he always means the best. “I’ll see you in a little.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too. Don’t you call Ben and Kane to gang up on me.” He’s not dragging my brothers into this. Not yet, at least.

“Okay,” he agrees before he hangs up the phone.

I toss my phone into my purse. Both of these men think they can boss me around. I wasn't mad at Jason at first. I knew the second I spotted the two of them across the street from the nail salon what was going on.

I also knew there was only one reason these two would likely be talking. I think I might have given a bit too much information when I’d tipped my family off about Eddie. That on top of not sleeping at home for a while now. It was only a matter of time before they tried to find out what I was up to.

The past week has been too good to be true. I kept waiting for the bottom to drop out from under me. For Jason to tell me that he wanted a night to himself. Nope. Every chance he gets, he’s all over me. Even today he was across from the salon I was in. I saw his truck and knew he was near. I thought it was kinda sweet.

That was until he told me to go home. My stomach dropped at his words. No one ever wants to stand up to my brothers or my dad when it comes to dating me. The few that had shown some interest over the years ran easily at the sight of them. Not that I’d cared. Who wants to be with someone who wouldn’t fight for you? I don’t want them to fight, but when there’s no choice, you have to.

I was so sure there was no way that Jason would back down to my father. Now I have no clue what is going to happen. He might not want to deal with my family.
