Chapter 14

The heartache we can’t hide.

Talon~

Edie’s words had kept me up last night way past what was considered a respectable hour, considering that I’d had a shitty morning and school the next day. Still, I had found myself staring at the ceiling, unable to think about anything else.

Now, it wasn’t that I believed Kenzlee was in love with me. I seriously doubted that she even liked me. She was drawn to me. She felt what I felt whenever we were near each other and that was the only reason that she let me in between her thighs Friday night.

What had kept me up last night was how easy it had been to lump her in with my sister and my mom of the list of females that I loved. The words had just floated out and it had felt natural saying it. Granted, it wasn’t anything that I was going to say to her anytime soon, but the words were there. They existed. The feelings existed.

This morning, I’d told Lars to go on to first period without me because I had a feeling that I was going to be late to class if I even showed up at all. I was leaning against Kenzlee’s locker, waiting for her, refusing to let her ignore me any longer.

The first warning bell hadn’t even rung yet, so I knew that we had some time when I spotted Kenzlee and Alexandria turning the corner and heading towards Kenzlee’s locker. Kenzlee’s feet faltered a bit, but she didn’t turn and run. They both headed my way.

The second that they were within earshot, I asked, “Alexandria, can you give me a moment with Kenzlee?”

I thought she’d fight me on it, but one quick glance at Kenzlee and she was saying, “Sure, Talon. No problem.” She turned towards Kenzlee. “I’ll see you in class.”

We both watched Alex turn and head towards class before Kenzlee looked at me and asked, “Do you mind?” I was still blocking her locker.

I stepped to her until her back was pressed up against the wall of metal. “Yeah, I do fucking mind,” I seethed, finally finding an outlet for all the grief that she’d caused me these past couple of days. “I mind a hell of a lot, if you must know.”

“Talon, now is not the t-”

“Well, then, tell me when is the time, White?” I bit out. “Because it wasn’t Friday, Saturday, or fucking Sunday, that’s for sure.”

“Are you seriously throwing a tantrum, right now?” she hissed, looking around the hallway that was littered with spectators.

I leaned into her, so that only she could hear me. “You haven’t even begun to see a tantrum, White,” I warned her. “Now, if you ever ignore me again like you did this weekend, I will show up at your motherfucking house and cause a scene that you’ll never be able to live down.”

Kenzlee’s eyes widened at the threat. “Talon, you cannot be serious.”

“Try me, White,” I challenged. “Now, like a good boyfriend, I gave you time to get ahold of yourself and come to terms with our relationship.
