I’ve felt uneasy all morning. The pit of my stomach is slightly unsettled, and not from the night terrors Chains had last night. No, this was from the betrayal of not keeping my word to Luc. I don’t know how he’s going to react. Will he feel like I’ve rejected him, if he feels like I’ve denied him? I just don’t want this to set him back in any way. Because even though I know he can be ruthless, he can also be calculating, and he most definitely can be a killer. I don’t want Luc to die at the hands of the club. It would destroy Chains. Even though I know he’s trying to distract himself with his therapy, with me, with anything else he possibly can, other than the thought of his childhood friend being in the room. Sure, he visits him, but I think he doesn’t want to get too attached. To me, that’s wise, especially if Luc ends up not being able to stay here with us. If worse comes to worst, and Luc has to ‘go,’ Luc’s departure will be easier to handle if Chains isn’t attached.

It’s sad. But true.

We sit at one of the tables slowly eating our breakfast. Brothers laugh, joking like it’s any other day. Chains eats his cornflakes like a bratty child making a mess. It manages to make me feel more at home at how this brute of a man can somehow be so adolescent in some things. But I can’t wait anymore. I need to make sure Luc is okay. So, I stand and start walking.

“Bex?” Chains calls out.

I don’t stop to turn around or look back as I rush toward the supply closet. They gave me a key a few weeks ago, so I can come and go. I open the door, walking in and locking it behind me. I turn to see Luc sitting just staring at me. My stomach sinks as he raises his brow like he’s waiting for me to say something.

“I’m so sorry, Luc. I should have come in last night like I promised you I was going to, but I lost a patient at work. It hit me harder than I thought it would, I just—”

“You lost a patient?” he asks interrupting me.

I glance up looking at him, letting out a sigh. “Yeah. Nothing I could do, it was her time.”

He appears genuinely sorry. “Then there was nothing you could do, Bex. Don’t beat yourself up over it or for not coming in here. I understand, I was more worried than anything. You never miss our sessions, so when no one came in, I was… worried.”

I raise my brow. “You were worried… about me?”

He lets out a small laugh. “Ahh… yeah. In case you haven’t noticed here, Bex, you’re kinda my only friend here at the moment.”

I slump, shaking my head. “That’s not true. Ty’s your friend.”

He snorts. “Ty’s avoiding me. Other than taking me for a shower, I don’t see him at any other time.
