A half hour later, I was told Bo and I were cleared of all charges and the other man was going to jail. Technically, I was underage and drinking, and Bo had assaulted the man. But the fact the man had tried to rape me made the cops lenient on us.

I had to wait for paperwork to be processed so charges could be pressed against my attacker. As I waited in the back of a police car with Kammy, I looked out my window and saw Bo being let out of the back of the cop car and his handcuffs removed.

I breathed a sigh of relief and waited for him to look for me, but he didn’t. Instead he went to talk to Jaxson who was waiting for me at the edge of the crowd. I had called my cousin, and after he learned I was okay, he was furious. When he saw what I was wearing, he immediately covered me with his jacket.

Now he and Bo stood together, talking for a short while before he nodded and walked away from my cousin. He got into his car and left without looking back at me, not even once.

Tears formed in my eyes, and I sniffled, pulling the jacket tighter on me. “I’m so stupid.” I said quietly. “I ruined everything.”

“This isn't your fault,” Kammy was quick to say.

I shook my head in reply.

She touched my arm lightly. “You mean Bo?”

I nodded. “He was the best thing that ever happened to me, and now he won’t even look at me.” My breath hitched. “I miss him so much. I have no idea how to fix this.”

“Do you love him?”

I hugged myself around my waist. “I miss him constantly when he's not around. I can't go two minutes without thinking about him. I want to make him happy. I want us to be happy together. Is that love?”

“Fuck yes, that's love. I've been telling you that for ages. Why is it so hard for you to see how much you love each other?”

I was quiet for a moment. “Why would he love me?” I shrugged. “My own parents don't even care about me.”

Christ. I had turned into the girl with daddy issues.

“Is that why you can't tell him you love him? You don't think you deserve him?”

I shrugged in reply, and Kammy let out an exasperated sigh. “Girl, you need to pull your head out of your ass. That man loves you. Permanently and irrevocably.”

I looked down at my tattoo on my wrist. The first tattoo I had ever gotten. Bo’s infinity heart. I clutched it to my chest.

“Would it really be that horrible to admit you are in love with him? This is Bo, Ivy. He’s your best friend. Loving him should be easy. You’re the one making this difficult.”

My throat tightened. These past twelve days had been miserable, and I couldn’t do it anymore.

The policewoman opened my car door from the outside. “Are we almost done?” I asked her.

“Just a few papers to sign,” she said as another cop approached us.
