SUTTON

“No,” I scream. “Let me go.”

Two security guards grab my arms, throwing me to the ground. Shock reverberates through my body, leaving me momentarily breathless. But I don’t stop fighting, forcing breath into my lungs, making my feet kick and body flail.

I can’t believe this is happening.

“This is in your best interest,” my father hisses, standing behind my mother like the coward he is.

This isn’t in my best interest. It’s in theirs. I hate them.

“Fuck you,” I spit. “I’m not doing drugs. Hunter’s a liar.”

My eyes dart to Hunter, who’s watching, transfixed. He looks pleased and like he’s sickly enjoying this.

Tears spill over my cheeks as I’m dragged. Literally dragged toward the front door.

“Stop fighting, Sutton,” my mother yells.

The grip from one of the assholes holding me loosens, so I squirm harder, jerking my arm from him.

“Fuck. Grab her,” he yells to the other guy as I pull away, kicking at them before standing up and running.

Footsteps and yells follow me as I tear through the foyer. I’m running barefoot and aimlessly because I don’t know what to do. But I’m scared. I’m getting fucking shipped away.

I won’t leave him. Not without a fight.

“Sutton,” my mother screeches, followed by my father yelling, “Stop right there.”

My feet carry me quickly up the stairs as I look over my shoulder. The two guards stand at the bottom, looking at my parents for direction.

It’s my mother that nods her head. Fucking bitch. But I don’t see them follow me up because I’m already bursting into my room, locking the door behind me.

I swing around, eyes landing on my desk.

Fuck. Everything on top gets hurled to the ground before I grit my teeth, pushing it in front of the door. My face stains red with the pressure as I use all my strength to barricade myself in my room.

Bangs erupt against the door as I get it in place, making me jump backward.

“Open the door, Sutton.” … “Don’t make us break it down.” … “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

All the yelling mixes together, crashing down on me. I slap my hands over my ears, trying to escape. I won’t go.

“Calder,” I whisper, hearing my own voice. “Please come.”

Please, Aubrey. Please have called him. I need him.

“Open the door, Sutton.”

It’s Hunter’s voice.

“I hate you,” I scream back, dropping to my knees as I sob.
