Chapter Ten

Shay

It was three more days before they released me from the hospital. It didn’t matter how many times I said I was fine, no one would listen. They fed me shit food I could hardly choke down and hovered like I might try to escape the minute their backs were turned, which I’d considered more than once.

My parents came every day, Josiah showed up every evening, and Tomi hadn’t been back since the day they’d admitted me. He knew Josiah had spilled his secret, and he was probably sulking. Or he’d run back to BC and no one had bothered telling me.

So I was shocked when he showed up out of the blue to take me home on the third day.

The doctor had signed my discharge papers, and I was dressed and ready to go when Tomi strolled into the room. Dad was at the shop working, but Mom had been by my bedside since that morning.

“Oh, goodie. Tomi’s here. So you haven’t tucked tail and run? Shocking.” I decided my petulant attitude was due to excessive confinement against my will—or it was the years of lies I’d been told.

“Are you ready to go home?”

“Why can’t Mom take me home?”

“Because he’s my ride too,” Mom said, patting my leg. “Don’t give your brother a hard time. Up you go. He’s volunteered to take care of you.”

“Yippee.”

I begrudgingly followed Tomi out of the hospital with Mom clung to my side because god knows I couldn’t walk on my own. I rode in the backseat, allowing Mom to take the front. We dropped her off first, and Tomi ran inside with her for a minute to grab some sort of leftover ginger fish stir fry she’d made that she knew I wouldn’t eat but insisted we take with us.

I dug my phone out while Tomi was inside and texted Josiah, my forehead resting against the back of the passenger seat. I refused to move up front.

Shay: I’m going from one prison to another. This warden is a sexually frustrated, biter closeted pain in my ass. He’s going to make me eat fish and rest. I can’t take it.

Josiah: Lol. I’d offer to help you escape and bring you to my prison, but I’m probably just as sexually frustrated. I have a tendency to like to bite as well, but I do promise not to feed you fish.

Shay: Fuck me. Bitter not biter. My phone sucks.

Josiah: You know who else sucks?

Josiah: <<=

Josiah: I’m insulted you don’t remember my voracious appetite for dick. No gag reflex, sweetheart.

Shay: This conversation isn’t awkward at all. Moving on…

Josiah: I turned you into a moaning slut with the power of my mouth. It’s a gift.

Shay: At least there’s a proven way to shut you up. Can we stop talking about you sucking my dictation now?

Shay: WTF?! Dick. Sucking my dick now.

Josiah: Wow, say it again, I’m getting horny.

Shay: Duck you.

I growled at my idiotic phone and found a sticker of a cat banging its head against a desk and sent it because that was how I felt.
