Fourteen

Summer

I heard the softest commotion outside while I lounged in the tub, attempting to shave my legs. It was hard to concentrate, though, especially with thoughts of Cheyenne’s safety running through my mind. It felt like days had passed, when really it was almost time to go get Cheyenne from her sleepover.

And it worried the hell out of me that we might be tracked.

I still wasn’t sure what I needed to do, though. While part of me wanted to stay with Tanner, the bulk of me wanted to go with my daughter. I mean, I knew we’d both be safe. Sloane was a stickler with me when it came to carrying some sort of concealed firearm around, just in case. And with the training she had to endure in order to work with the Santa Barbara police department, I knew she could take whatever was thrown her way.

I just didn't know, and I wished someone would tell me what the fuck to do.

Doors slammed all around me, but I tried to block it out. I shaved my legs, cleaned myself up, and took a hot bath until the water turned lukewarm. I turned on the shower very quickly to wash my hair and my body down, then I wrapped myself up in one of the most luxurious towels I’d ever held against my body.

Before Tanner came charging in my room.

“What a fucking numbskull!” he bellowed.

My eyes widened as he slammed the door behind him.

“Brooks is just—fuck!”

He punched the wall, leaving a massive hole that allowed me to see the electrical wiring behind it.

“It didn’t have to be this way, you know!?” he roared.

I slowly raised my hand. “Uh, Tanner?”

His eyes met mine before they dropped to my body. “Shit.”

I snickered. “Could you give me a few minutes to get dressed?”

But all he did was turn around. “He’s an absolute maniac sometimes, and a fucking hypocrite twenty-four-seven.”

I sighed. “I’m sure he is.”

A fist pounded against our door before Brooks yelled, “I can hear you, man!”

Tanner ripped the door open. “Get the fuck away from her room now.”

“Can I at least get dressed in peace, please!?” I shrieked.

Both of the guys stared at me before Tanner clapped his hand over Brooks’ eyes. And after the two of them stepped out into the hallway, I let my tears fall. I rushed over to the door and locked it for good measure, then slumped against it as water from my hair dripped endlessly down my back.

And when the commotion in the hallway ceased, only Tanner’s voice remained.

“I’m sorry for letting you see me like that, Summer.”

I shook my head softly. “It’s the first time I’ve seen you be genuine with me in I don’t know how long, Tanner. Don’t be sorry for it. Just talk to me instead of punching holes in my damn walls, yeah?”

He sighed. “I’ll just shut my mouth.”

“No, no, no. Shutting your mouth is what got us into this mess in the first place. You were never one to open up, but if you want things to be different between us then you have to start doing different things.
