Angela and Jody came with me in a taxi to rehab. Larry was with his fancy new client so couldn’t come with me, but we’d spoken on the phone beforehand and he’d said he supported me and was there if I needed anything. It felt like the first genuine conversation we’d had in a long time.

It was weird, driving to rehab with Angela and Jody. But, as my lawyer, Jody was legally required to make sure I checked in. Angela wanted to be there to support me, just like she always did. I appreciated her presence. While Jody was nice—and had clearly done a good job—I knew that for her, it was still about business. She had no emotional attachment to me. I didn’t begrudge that, I just liked having someone who did care by my side.

I wished Tate could’ve been there, too, but I was terrified to talk to her. What would she think of me? Would she think I was a failure for what I’d done? Would she cut me out so that she wasn’t associated with someone who’d been arrested as many times as me?

Not that I’d blame her. She needed to protect her brand. And I’d always done a great job at ruining hers.

She’d given Liam another chance, but I’d already had several and ruined every single one.

My arrest was still fresh. It was hard, not checking what they were saying about me. I’d put limitation apps on my phone to stop me from obsessively checking the news on there, but they didn’t work. I’d always tell it to give me fifteen more minutes, or go on a different device.

Reading about myself didn’t help my mental health, so when I gave my phone up at rehab’s reception desk, for once, I felt relaxed. Released. It didn’t matter I couldn’t text, or call, or video chat with anyone. The world wouldn’t stop turning if it couldn’t get hold of me all of the time. Anyone who really cared about me would be there when I came out.

Angela pulled me into a hug. “You’ve got this. Call me if you need anything. Day or night.”

“Will you be OK?”

She ran her hands over my hair. “I’ve got the rest of my family. You focus on taking care of you.”

The rest of her family. She included me in that.

The tears came. I couldn’t stop them. Knowing she classed me as a part of her family broke me so hard. It was one thing for Isaiah to say it, but for Angela to say it? That meant even more because of everything we’d been through together.

She pulled a tissue out of her pocket and handed it to me. I dabbed at my eyes then blew my nose.

“Sorry. I just…when you called me part of your family…”

She rested her forehead against mine. “You’ll always be a part of our family.” She pushed me toward the interior door, which would take me through to the inpatient area. “Now go. Heal. And I’ll talk to you soon.
