Chapter 9

The next three weeks fly by. It’s already October. It’s colder up here than back home. I’m bundled up with mittens, a hat and a scarf. The last two weeks have been uneventful. Alec finally got it after calling me for three days straight that I just don’t want to talk. He sent me a text just asking for a message every day to let him know I was okay, or he’d show up. I haven’t heard from Keegan, but I know from my brother’s message, he hasn’t stopped asking him if I’m checking in. Alec said if he asks again, he might hit him. Well, maybe he would think this is exactly how I feel about his daily pestering.

I sit at a new table on the opposite side of the café, and neither of them tries to sit with me. Jake is a constant. He sits with me every day and walks me to classes when he can. He’s been a lifesaver for me in more ways than one. We have continued to sleep in his room. It just sort of became a habit after the first night. I feel better because I know Alec or Keegan won’t knock on Jake’s door because they know he won’t let them in. I got an email a few days ago. Right now, that’s the major crisis in my life. It was from Dillon, and it was sent to my school email address. How did he get it? I didn’t want to read it, but I felt like I had no choice.

Becca, I hope your classes are going well. I hope we can chat soon. I have some much needed news to tell you, about someone very close to you. I hope this reaches you and you know that I will be seeing you soon. Love Dillon.

There was no way I was responding. I wouldn’t know what to say even if I did want to respond. He has something to tell me about someone very close to me. What does that even mean? I know I should have told Alec or Keegan, but I still won’t to talk to them. I haven’t even told Jake, that’s really what’s making me feel so guilty. I think he’s just trying to scare me.

Jake is working out at the gym, so I figured I’d head to the library and study and then go see him and do some running at the gym since it’s too cold to do it outside. I’m walking down the hall, and I see my brother with Keegan. They see me but don’t make a move to come near me. I turn from them to go back the way I came, so I don’t have to ignore them and pass them. I look in front of me and stop dead in my tracks. This can’t be happening. In front of me is the one person I don’t want to see even more than my brother and Keegan. It’s Dillon.

He starts to walk towards me, and I start backing up.
