CHAPTER 18
LEV
âWhat the hell has gotten into you?â Ridge snaps. âYour mood swings are making us all fucking crazy lately.â
I chew on my bottom lip, trying to collect any bit of composure Iâve got, which isnât much. âRiley left class quickly and I told Maddox Iâd find her and bring her to lunch. He agreed and left, so I searched the nearby halls. I found her in the center of a group of guys, one of which was strangling her wrist. I told her to get out of there, then I took care of him.â
âTook care of him, how?â
âKnocked the fucker upside the head and threatened âem all. Doesnât matter,â I snap. âTheyâre not gonna fuck with her again, but I wanted to know what else they did to her.â
âFuck,â Ridge sighs, âI shoulda been there.â
âI told you I handled it.â
âI appreciate that, brother.â He claps a hand to my shoulder. âAs hard as I try, I canât keep my eyes on her twenty-four seven.â
âDonât thank me. I didnât do it for you,â I say sternly. I donât even know why I did it, all I know is I needed to see someone bleed for causing that look in her eyes. Only I get to be the reason for that look.
Ridge scoffs, but itâs the truth. Iâve got a really hard time not speaking my mind, and an even harder time letting people think Iâm doing them favors. This wasnât a favor for Ridge or Maddox. In fact, it wasnât even a favor for Riley. Everything I do is for myself. Each day I find myself slowly changing, more and more, touching the emotional side of myself that once existed. But itâs always so short-lived.
My hope is that one day, I can fully embrace it again. Thatâs why I did it. Because Riley is my key to sanity, and no one touches whatâs mineâexcept Ridge and Maddox, but even that irks me to the core. I donât like to share, but if I have to, they're the only ones Iâd ever consider sharing with.
Maddox pipes in and says he has to get to his next class, and Ridge says heâs cutting out for the rest of the day to make sure thereâs no evidence of Cade left behind after the fire sizzled out.
I pull out my phone and send Riley a text, knowing sheâll respond because she has to.
Me: Thereâs an old cabin down Ruddiman Drive. Sits back between two tall evergreens. Big red door. You canât miss it. Meet me there in twenty minutes.
