Chapter 4

I walked back to my room in tears. I felt like a part of my soul had been torn out of my body. I decided to go back to the study to try to call Katie again. I needed to hear her voice. She was someone familiar and trustworthy, and I needed that right now. I felt like I was in a pit with snakes and dragons and I didn’t know if either side was good. I looked around to see if I was being followed this time. I thought it was strange that Greyson had seen me go into the study and hadn’t asked me why I had gone in. It was also strange that he had come to find me and had been following me. He’d never said why. I opened the door to the study slowly and walked in. What did it all mean? Why had Greyson come to find me? David had made it clear that I shouldn’t expect to see Greyson until tomorrow. What did it mean that he had come to find me this evening?

I hurried to the desk and picked up the phone. I dialed the numbers quickly and held my breath. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get through the night without sobbing my eyes out if I didn’t get to talk to Katie.

“Hello?” Her voice sounded tired, but I didn’t care.

“It’s me.” I whispered into the phone.

“Meg!” she screeched, and my heart warmed as I smiled. How I loved Katie! She was more than my best friend – she was like my sister. “What is going on? Where are you?”

“I’m still at the club.” I spoke into the phone softly and looked around the room, paranoid that someone was spying on me somehow.

“Why are you whispering?” She sounded concerned. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Look, I need to ask you something. Where is Brandon?”

“Brandon, honey. Meg’s on the phone!” Katie sounded loved up as she whispered to Brandon and I wanted to shout at her. I heard him saying something to her, but I couldn’t quite hear what he was saying.

“Katie!” I said her name, loudly this time.

“Yes, Meg?” This time, she sounded confused.

“Can you get away from Brandon for a moment?”

“Yeah? Why?”

“I need to talk to you. And I need to make sure that Brandon isn’t around.”

“Oh my God, what’s going on?” Katie sounded slightly panicked. “Hold on, Meg. Brandon, I need to talk to her first.”

“What’s going on, Katie?”

“Brandon, she needs to tell me something.” Katie’s voice was sharp and I could hear something akin to fear in her tone. “What’s it about, Meg?”

“Katie, I told you I didn’t want Brandon to know.”

“We don’t have secrets.” Katie’s voice was petulant and I wanted to scream. She hadn’t seen the man in seven years and already she was taking his side over mine.

“Tell him I know about his ‘college fiancée’ Maria.” I spouted out.

“Maria?” Katie sounded confused. “How did you hear about that?”

“You know about Maria?” It was my turn to be confused.
