Chapter Eleven

JAX

Star had taken up more of my time than I’d expected. I wasn’t good with females’ tears, so I had sat there and let her cry and tell me over and over again how upset she was that Shawn hadn’t trusted her enough. When she’d said that she wasn’t sure she had made the right choice of career, I had for a moment understood her. The life we’d chosen to lead didn’t make it easy for anyone to ever get close to us.

Once she’d finally stopped crying and gone up to the guest bedroom Ms. Mary had put her in, I’d gone to find Sadie and explain this mess. I had wanted to tell her when Jason had come to get me earlier, but he’d said Star had taken one look at him and crumpled to the floor and begun to sob. I’d needed to go then and help him calm her down.

I walked outside, and there was no sign of Sadie or Mr. Greg. Frustrated, I turned and headed to the kitchen. Maybe she’d gone in there to wait for me.

When I got inside, Ms. Mary didn’t look up at me. She continued to wash the large pots in the sink. That was odd. She always stopped what she was doing and asked if I needed something. More important, though, was the fact Sadie wasn’t in here, either.

“Ms. Mary? Do you know where Sadie is?”

Ms. Mary made a “hmph” sound, then let the pot clang in the sink before looking up at me. “Marcus called and said he found her at the beach. She was fine and headed home.”

She was gone? Shit! “Why did she leave?” I asked, already fearing the answer.

Ms. Mary threw her dishcloth into the sink and put her hands on her hips before glaring at me. “You really asking me that, boy? ’Cause I don’t know how things are done up there in Hollywood, but here in the South, girls don’t know how to play your games. ’Specially sweet girls like Sadie. She don’t got no time for this funny business. You said you wouldn’t hurt her, and it took you no time to do just that. Now, Marcus is gonna be there to let her cry on his shoulder, and you go back to your girlfriend and leave poor little Sadie alone. God knows Marcus has a thing for the girl. He’d be good to her. He comes from a good family. He can take care of her too.”

I was torn between wanting to beat the shit out of Marcus for going near her, and not being able to breathe because she was hurting. I didn’t want Sadie hurting.

“Star isn’t my girlfriend,” I said defensively.

“Well, the rest of the world only knows what the media tells us, and last we all heard, she was. And Sadie knows you been locked up there with her all day. She ran outta here so fast I had to let Marcus go early so he could run after her and make sure she was safe.
