CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

LUKE

“Luke, Andi, come out back!” My dad yells from the backyard. We make our way through the kitchen and head out the back door to Mom’s backyard haven. Everyone is gathered around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows, and hot dogs. Mom and Kelly just brought out more food.

As soon as Kelly puts the food on the table, she bounds over to Andi and throws her arms around her neck. Andi laughs and grabs her up. Kelly is petite for a sixteen-year-old, and sometimes we all treat her like she's much younger. Sometimes it makes her mad, but usually, she eats it up like she's doing now when Andi is fawning over her.

It’s really a great sight. Kelly came to live with my parents soon after she showed up at our house that night. Mom and Dad were thrilled to take her in, and she still gets to be Andi's sister. She doesn’t spend time alone with Dad yet, but she does talk to him and includes him in things, so I know she’s trying. They're preparing to adopt her officially and make her a real Woods.

It’s been two weeks since that awful night. The night I thought I would have to watch and listen to Andi being raped by that madman. They planned to torture her and kill her in front of me and then kill me. Kelly overheard all of their sick, sadistic plans of what they would do to Andi. How they would torture her and beg for them to kill her long before they finished with her. Kelly remembered Andi and how she always took care of the younger kids in the Rhoades’ house.

She said she couldn’t let anything bad happen to Andi, so she took one of Jackson’s guns and followed him tonight. Kelly knew he'd come after Andi at the club, so she waited and followed him when he left the club before we did. She was hiding inside the house when we got home. Kelly said she recognized the look he had when he was moving toward Andi. He was going to hurt her badly before finally killing her, so she shot him. Her only regret is that she didn’t kill him–not that we know of, anyway.

I’ve been asking Andi every day when she’s going to marry me. I’ve tried to talk her into going to Vegas and doing it in one of the drive-through chapels. Or we can go to Gatlinburg and rent a chapel. Or we can go to the Justice of the Peace right here in Atlanta and get married right now. I don’t care where or how or who is there.

I just know I almost lost her and I can’t stand it. Not that being married would've given us special powers, but there's something about knowing she's completely mine, with my name, for all eternity, which is comforting to me now. It’s an entirely foreign concept to me–I never thought I’d be this guy. The man who’s completely pus-,
