CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Every picture frame in my house is empty. It doesn’t matter if it’s a frame hanging on the wall, or a frame sitting on a table. Every single one no longer has the pictures in them that were there this morning when I left for school.

“Seriously, can this day get any worse?” My whisper and shocked expression brings Andrea up short, and she looks around to see what I’m seeing.

“What’s going on, Lexi?” She’s confused, and rightfully so. I’m confused as hell too.

“Someone has taken all the pictures,” I whisper, my eyes darting to each empty frame that I can see.

Andrea stands in front of me, a world of concern twisting her pretty face. “Lexi, I can see that. Where have the pictures gone? Who took them?”

I sigh. I don’t want to tell her because then I’ll have to admit that someone really is breaking into my house daily with the intent to freak me out. But since she is now dragged into this, I have to be honest.

“I’d say the pictures are with all the other things that have gone missing.”

Andrea looks around again, and then as if a light bulb goes off, she grabs my arm and escorts me back outside to her car.

“Are you telling me that someone has been going into your house and taking things?” When I nod, Andrea continues, “How long has this been happening?”

I tell Andrea what she wants to know and sit in her car as she takes out her phone and relays the information to Officer Reynolds. Within ten minutes, Officer’s Reynolds and Zimora are at my house, checking through it to make sure no one is inside. Then they proceed to take photos and put some sort of dust stuff everywhere to pick up fingerprints.

Once they give the all-clear, I go inside to pack my bags. I hadn’t been sure that Andrea was serious about what she agreed to in Principal Rogan’s office, but she absolutely was. As far as she is concerned, she is my temporary guardian and I’m moving into her place. Well, technically, it’s Marcus’s house, but it’s where Andrea and Ayden are living, so I guess it’s now where I’m going to be living.

The whole idea seems weird as fuck to me. Am I really meant to sleep in their house and eat their food? And rules? Am I meant to have rules? The thought both warms my heart and scares the crap out of me. So does the idea of living with Ayden. Jesus, how am I meant to keep my distance from him if we will be eating breakfast at the same table?

Knowing that I’m just working myself up, I try to force my overactive mind to calm down and focus on packing my things. I shoot Valarie a quick text to let her know that I’ll be
