Breakneck Speed

STATE MEET, BRIDGEPORT, California

Lenley

I HAVEN’T FOLLOWED a skydiving team since Papà was competing, so it’s been over a decade since I spent the summer traveling all over the state.

“I had definitely forgotten what a circus this was,” I tell Sarah as I show my pass to the security staff manning the teams’ stations.

We’re welcomed in, and we head straight to the Cove Angels’ tour bus parked in one of the prime spots in direct view of the landing zone. It’s great to see the guys actually land, even though we can watch the entire dive on the feed streamed directly from the cameras on their helmets.

My best friend smiles. “Thank you for letting me tag along to every meet, even though I don’t work for the team.”

I smile back at her, stopping to give her a side hug. “Are you kidding? I totally owe you. You let me stay with you for weeks when Mom was following the team after Papà...” My voice fades, a lump forming in my throat. I still struggle to watch anyone jump off an aircraft or even a BASE after what happened to my papà, but I know how much he’d love the idea of me working for his team, so doing this is a way for me to feel closer to him, like he isn’t really and truly gone.

Sarah hugs me back. “Of course, babe! You’re my best friend. There are very few things I wouldn’t do for you, and it’s sweet of you to give me a chance to be around Trent.”

I shrug. “It’s a win-win situation anyway, babe, since having you here keeps Anna and Kiara away. They are scared of you, and if you weren’t here, I’m sure they’d spend half their time taunting me.”

She glares at the canopy with the Cove Angels’ merchandise, right outside the cordoned area of the team stations, where Darrius’s sister and Kiara are handing out promo packs to the public. “They are right to be scared of me. Those two are a match made in hell. I’ve never met two worse bitches, I swear, and they know I have no problem punching them in the face if I catch them mouthing off to you again.”

She’s referring to how Anna and Kiara treated me on Monday when I made the mistake of going to the office.

“Yeah, I should have known they would be on the offensive. Cove Angels’ HQ became enemy territory ever since Anna graduated and Kiara got a job thanks to her boyfriend.”

And speak of the devil, or should I say Angel in this case, Darrius walks past in his wingsuit, turning on his heel when he spots me.

Our eyes meet for a moment that probably lasts only a couple of seconds but seems to stretch into eternity for the intensity in my oldest friend’s brown eyes.

My first instinct is to walk away, but my feet are rooted to the spot as Darrius stops so close to me that our chests almost touch.
