CHAPTER 18

Harper was horrified. She began to pace around her room. Unsure of exactly what to do, she took a seat on the floor and leaned against her bed. She brought her knees up to her chest and tried to drown out the sound of Emily knocking on the door. Harper was so upset that she couldn’t fathom facing her sister at this moment. So many thoughts were swirling around in her head, it was hard to pin one down.

Where the hell did Emily get off suggesting such a thing? She abandoned Harper for two years, then all of a sudden reappears and automatically she’s an expert on her life? She couldn’t possibly know what goes on inside Harper’s head. Then to state it as a fact, not even a question, showed an immense amount of audacity and disrespect. It simply wasn’t true. It just wasn’t. Harper had grown to deeply care about Kiley. Did she love her? Yes. It was a love built out of mutual respect and admiration. But to suggest that she was “in love” with Kiley was a preposterous notion and one that she would be sure to set straight with Emily.

Harper was beginning to feel restless, unable to get Emily’s words out of her head. Once the knocking had stopped, she opened the door and, without her sister noticing, quickly slipped down the hall and through the door that leads to the garage.

If she couldn’t wish these thoughts out of her head, maybe she could beat something until she forgot what was upsetting her. Once her gloves were secured, she hit the play button on her iPod and began attacking the bag. Since Queen wouldn’t quite cut it this time, Guns ‘n’ Roses was blaring from the speakers. Axl’s powerful voice didn’t seem to distract Harper’s thoughts, but she kept right on striking the bag.

There was no possible way Emily was right about this. There were times when Harper would perhaps allow a sideways glance in Kiley’s direction to turn into a mild gaze or let a hug linger a little longer than it should have. Mainly lately since she lost her entire family and needed as much human physical interaction as possible. But that by no means meant she had a “thing” for Kiley. Theirs was a bond stronger than friendship. It was hard to explain, but from the moment they met, they just understood each other. Harper had never had that kind of connection with someone before, or that kind of intimacy or honesty. They had always been brutally honest with each other because they both knew that no matter how bad a confession was, there would be no judgment among them and their friendship would always forge on. Harper pondered this as she tried to control her breathing while attacking the punching bag. Nothing she had shared with Kiley so far had damaged their friendship, but that’s not to say something wouldn’t eventually harm them. Harper couldn’t even imagine what would happen if Emily had been right.
