We walked out into the parking lot, which was pretty much dead. It was kind of eerily quiet now after all of the noise and commotion in the gym.

“That was kind of interesting tonight.” Mason chuckled as he held the door open for me.

“What was?” I slid into the seat, hoping he wasn’t going to bring up the vampire.

He shut the door and jogged to his side and climbed in. “What did that ... guy say to you?”

Vampire had almost crossed his lips. I felt bad holding back my past, but I had to protect all of us. “Oh, nothing. Rambling about me smelling familiar.” If this wasn’t confirmation that I had to stay away, I wasn’t sure what else would be. Tomorrow, Mason Lockly could no longer exist for me.

His hands tensed on the steering wheel for a second before he started the car. “You don’t seem very upset about it.”

“Guys say weird things to me all the time.” I shrugged. At least I wasn’t lying on this one. “You kind of get immune.”

“Well, I hate that I wasn’t the one to kick his ass again.” He pulled us onto the main road heading back toward my house. “You’re awfully strong.”

I figured this was going to come up. “You kicked his ass better.” I cleared my throat and gazed out the window. “Where are we going?”

“I’m taking you home.”

For some reason, I hadn’t expected that, and I probably should’ve. Of course, he wanted to go hang out with his friends. It was better this way. “Okay.”

“What’s wrong?” He glanced at me and reached over the console to intertwine our fingers.

“Oh, nothing.” The last thing I wanted was for him to feel obligated to spend time with me. I savored his touch, knowing it would be one of the last ones I would ever experience with him.

“Will your guardians be upset if we chill on the back porch for a little while?” He squeezed my hand comfortingly.

“Guardians?” My breathing increased. “Why would you say that?”

“Because you said they raised you and aren’t a couple.” He tilted his head and glanced at me. “So that would make them your guardians.”

“Right.” So many parts of my life were getting crazy. It felt like I couldn’t keep up. The longer Mason and Ella spent close to me, the more I’d be putting them in danger. It wasn’t right. I had to come clean or leave.

Now that I had made that decision, the drive home seemed twice as fast as normal. I took a deep breath and turned my body toward him. “Do you mind if we stay in the car for a second?” This was it. Even if I had to pull out of the university, I couldn’t be around either one of them any longer. They both already found a place in my heart. The more time I spent with them, the more they’d take.

“Of course not.” He put the car in PARK and reached over to take my hand. “I’m ready for my prize.
