Sarah

It’s prom night.

David will be here in an hour, and I’m nowhere near ready.

Everyone here thinks David and I are dating, but no one knows that David is gay, and I plan to keep that my little secret. It’s been almost a month and a half since Reaper and I spoke. I actually haven’t been here much; I’ve been hanging out with my new friend. Knowing Reaper is at the clubhouse, fucking some biker slut, it hurts too much.

I have two weeks until graduation.

And then one week after that I turn eighteen, and I already plan on leaving. Being here without being Reaper’s, I can’t do it. I’m not strong enough.

“Knock, knock.”

“Boomer,” I say with a large smile on my face when he enters my room. He is finally up and walking around, but he is slower than he was before. I’m just glad he is out of bed.

“Look at your hair.” He boings a curl hanging lose on the side of my face. “It looks good. You look beautiful,” he says, and he cups my jaw with his hand. When he looks at me, I know he is my brother, but all I see is our father trying to talk to me right now. “I’m so fucking happy to see you go to prom. It means so much to me. You have no idea how much I love you, Sarah.”

My chin wobbles as my eyes fill with tears. “I love you too.”

“You really have no idea how important you are to me.” He holds a hand to his wound and wobbles on his feet.

“Boomer!” I run to his side before he falls and sit him on the bed. “Don’t push yourself.”

“No, you need to hear this.” He takes my hand in his and holds onto me tight, like he is never going to see me again.

“You’re scaring me,” I say as a tear falls. “You’re going to make me mess up my makeup.”

He flashes the same grin that our father has in the photo that I carried with me when I was growing up. “Don’t be scared. I just want to say this to you. I don’t know. It feels monumental to witness you in a dress, makeup, and hair done. You’re all grown up now; you don’t need me.”

I sit next to him and squeeze his hands. “Is that what you think? Boomer, I’ll always need you. I had no idea how much until the day I showed up here. You’re my family. I love you more than anything.”

“That’s good.” He coughs, his voice is broken and high-pitched, and that’s when I see the tears swimming his eyes. He tilts his head back and looks up at the ceiling. “Shit, I’m such a bitch.”

“Shut up.” I nudge him with my shoulder. “I love you too. My life wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for you.”

“Your date is here!” Poodle shouts from the main room.

“Oh gosh!” I stand and run my hand down my dress. It’s already
