I’ve also been Isabelle’s bodyguard for a week and we’re playing our game again. Not with Isabelle, of course. Every now and then, Carter pretends to be me so he can accompany Isabelle throughout the day. Again, it is dangerous, so we don’t do it often.

I’m so glad you’re not here, Alayna. You’re already on a plane to Kentucky. Nine minutes to two, you took off and I have to say it wasn’t that easy to let you go. Again. Naturally, I have little birds that get me information.

You were with my parents for a week. Donovan Wild, my dad’s colleague, who I can’t stand because he has two sides, is driving you to the airport. He’s too much like me, but that doesn’t matter. Despite everything, I know you’re safe with him. It’s just important that you get out of here. I have to admit, seeing you again and hurting you has fucked me up, and I’m not up for it anymore. I don’t feel like toying with you anymore. I’m tired of repeatedly breaking your heart, so I understand, better than ever, why my brother does so much coke. Sometimes, it’s just easier.

I don’t want to feel that anymore either. It’s like I bought my dream car and drove it into a wall at full speed the next day. It’s like I had everything I really wanted deep inside me for a moment and it slipped away forever with no way of ever getting it back. Alayna, I had no real idea how important you still were to me. I had no idea — of anything!

I snatch the cigarette out of Carter’s hand and take a drag. Hard and deep.

He doesn’t even notice what mood I’m in because he’s so high. Carter is jittery again. His cell phone rings. He looks at it, then at me, then at the phone again, and then at me.

“What?” I ask irritably.

“Dorian.” Dorian, Alayna.

I shake my head, annoyed because I know what Dorian is doing. Why he’s exploiting him, why he’s teasing and provoking him. “Don’t get fucked up,” I say.

“Never.” Tired, he grins at me and leaves. I watch him go and flick the cigarette into the lake.

I think, Alayna, I really need to play some games again. My own. With those people who are really pissing me off these days.

I’m in the mood for a little chaos now that you’re gone and safe.

For good, baby girl.

Alayna

I’m standing in front of the Rush house. Mason and Emilia are not here and Ava stayed in her room. She gave me a long hug and whispered to me to take care of myself. Totally cryptic, but I accepted it for what it was.
