Chapter Thirteen

Sophie

I check the text from Lennon and ignore it, knowing I won’t be able to stall all evening. When she told me she’d call the cops, I knew she would do it. Having them show up here with the way that he is and after his admission would only make things worse for me. I need a solid plan without all of that.

After I put on a dress, I go to the bathroom and try to figure out what I’m going to do. I apply enough heavy makeup so it’s not as noticeable, but if anyone stares too long, I’ll have to figure out what to say, especially since Weston will be with me. If I know him as well as I think I do, he’s not going to let me out of his sight, and that’s if we even go.

After I apply heavy makeup and fix my hair, I walk into the living room where he’s sitting with the bottle in his grasp.

“Babe,” I plead. “I really can’t go to this alone. I want you there by my side,” I say, knowing damn well he won’t let me leave without him.

“Fine,” he huffs, slamming the bottle on the coffee table, swaying as he walks past me toward the bedroom.

Weston returns dressed, dangling his keys in one hand and mine in the other. There is no way in hell I’m getting in a car with him in this state, but I know he probably won’t let me drive my car either. He’ll kill us both and possibly someone else too.

“Sorry about your keys,” he says, handing them over. He actually sounds geniune, but I know from experience it’ll be short-lived.

“Babe, you should let me drive.” I try to reach for his keys, but Weston jerks his hand away from me.

“No. You aren’t driving my truck,” he states firmly.

“I’ll drive my car,” I quickly say.

“I’m driving,” he states firmly, his eyes narrowing in on me as if he’ll crack in a second.

Instead of arguing with him, I try to reason with him and force a grin. “Okay. Let’s have some coffee then. It’ll help you sober up a bit before we leave.”

He hesitates, then thankfully agrees. After an hour of waiting, his eyes don’t seem nearly as glassy. Though I know he’s still got a ton of liquid courage streaming through him, it’s not as bad as before. I check the time again, and when I see Lennon called me, I know I have to respond before she gets worried even though I’m sure she’s well past that point. I hurry and send her a text so she doesn’t do anything drastic.

Sophie: Sorry, ran late. On our way now.
