Present Day: Chapter 16:

“Thank you for doing this,” I said as I shuffled inside Rex’s condo. “And, uh, thank you for not telling Gunner.”

Rex nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. He was wearing a Hollister t-shirt and some basketball shorts. He looked like an Abercrombie and Fitch model in real life.

“Of course, but, um, you drove all the way out to Missouri alone because….”

“I just need some time to earn a little money. Then I’ll get my own space. I’ll be fast.”

“I don’t mind that you’re here Dana. That’s not the issue.”

“What is the issue then?”

I matched him, crossing my arms over my chest. Rex sighed and ran his hand over his face.

“Isn’t your brother like loaded? Why do you need money? He won’t share?”

“I don’t want his money,” I spat out.

Rex arched an eyebrow. “Gunner’s pretty loaded too…”

He was baiting me. I could tell, but I still fell for it.

“I don’t want his stupid, lying, illegal, drug money either!”

“What happened Dana?”

“You know what. Never mind! This was a bad idea, I’ll go.”

I picked up my purse and turned to leave. Rex grabbed my upper arm. I turned back towards him, face hardened.

“Stay please. It’s fine. I have a spare room.”

I nodded, trying to suppress any emotion I could possibly be feeling. I didn’t want to trust him, trust anyone. He showed me to my room and I tucked myself in. I fell asleep immediately. For two days I stayed inside, watched movies, applied for jobs and ate dinner with Rex. He turned out to be a super funny, laid back guy. I could actually see Alexa and him being perfect together. They were polar opposites. I could see him bringing out the fun in her. I desperately wanted to ask him what happened between them, but it would be inappropriate to ask while he was doing me a favor.

Rex was a football coach for a local high school. Apparently, he got asked to coach a college team, but he liked working with his boys. Rex left for work at 6AM so at around 8AM I woke up and stretched my arms over my head. My body felt heavy. I was stressed about everything. My phone had about fifty missed calls, most of them coming from Sam, which hurt. The two people I was most angry at had only called me twice and that was right as I was driving away. I flipped over and put the pillow over my head and screamed. It wasn’t loud, just enough to get some of the tension and anger coursing through my body out. After I was done screaming I sunk back into the bed, relishing in the silence. I heard the door open and close. It rang through the room like an alarm. Rex wasn’t supposed to be home yet. I immediately sprung out of bed and turned to face the doorway. In front of me was Gunner in an army green t-shirt and cargo pants with his arms crossed over his chest.
