Chapter 22

Hudson

Laurel didn’t seem like the type of girl to lie. She had always been quite candid. As much as I didn’t feel like I could depend on anyone, the one person I should trust was her. She helped me overcome many obstacles in the last couple months, and I needed to be there for her when she needed my trust.

It wasn’t as if I thought she was going to sleep with the guy. It was more of me being worried about her safety. The story she told me didn’t make this guy seem like he was very stable. The last thing I wanted was for her to be in any type of danger.

I texted my sisters to meet me at my mom’s. I needed advice. I didn’t want to fuck this up. Laurel was the best thing that had happened to me in years. Losing her would kill me. I must tread lightly on this one.

When I arrived at my mom’s, she was anxious. Although, she was constantly uneasy about me. I was her little boy, and she wanted the best for me always. I could grasp her worry. Before Laurel, I wasn’t doing so great. However, ever since she came into my life, it’d been considerably better. I woke up every day joyous and ready to spend the day with her.

The door opened, and my sisters walked in. They knew something was amiss. “What’s going on? Why the sudden need to meet up?”

I didn’t want any bad feelings between my sisters and Laurel, so I didn’t tell them the whole story. I didn’t want them to think she was cheating on me. Although, I didn’t think anyone in this family would believe that to be true anyway.

“I need some advice from ladies. Laurel’s ex, who’s still a friend, came into town this morning unannounced. He lost both his parents recently, and she feels like he is on the brink of a mental breakdown. She asked me to let her go over there tonight and try to get him back to his normal self. Is it horrible I want to be there for her?”

Christina chimed in immediately, “No, not at all. She just wants to know you trust her. You do, right?”

“Hell yes, but I am also worried. Not that she will be doing something with him but that he will do something bad to her.”

“Do you think that’s possible?” Kassie asked worriedly.

“Yes, from the sound of it, he doesn’t seem very happy she is seeing someone,” I replied. I didn’t want to freak them out, but I needed their opinion. I didn’t want to be that guy with Laurel, but I couldn’t help how I feel. Something in my gut was telling me something horrible was going to happen if she was there alone with him.

“My opinion is to be there, at least in case something does go awry. She doesn’t have to know you are there. I think she will understand you just want to defend her. That should make her feel better.
