Chapter Ten

Taylor

I was meeting Sage and his friends for a birthday dinner, and I was a little nervous about the evening. There would be a lot of new people I’d never met, and I’d probably be interrogated the whole time.

But Volt interrogated all my men, so this was fair.

I walked down the street with his gift tucked under my arm. It was the baseball tickets wrapped in navy blue wrapping paper. I made him a special card by hand, decorating it to make the gift more personal.

I was just around the corner when my phone started to ring.

Volt was calling me.

Now wasn’t the best time for a chat, but I couldn’t ignore his call. It went against everything my body wanted, so I swiped the call button before I held it to my ear. “Heeey. Whatcha doing?” We hadn’t spoken in nearly a week, and it always felt strange when we had periods of silence.

He was silent.

“Volt?” I thought I could hear him breathing.

He still didn’t say anything.

I stopped walking altogether even though I was right in front of the restaurant. “Volt, are you there?”

When his voice came through the line, it sounded broken—beyond repair. “Hey.”

I knew there was something seriously wrong. Not just a little wrong—but extremely. Volt had hit rock bottom. But how he got there was a mystery. “What is it? Are you okay?”

“I need you to come to my apartment.”

He never commanded me to do things. He usually asked. “I can be there in ten minutes.”

“Thank you.” He hung up immediately, like staying on the line for a second more was too much for him to handle.

I heard the line go dead, and I slowly lowered the phone. My heart was beating hard, and I felt sick to my stomach. Something was wrong with Volt, and I was pretty sure his heart was broken.

“Hey.” Sage approached from the entryway of the restaurant. “Perfect timing. I already have a glass of wine for you.”

I forgot about Sage’s birthday altogether once I spoke to Volt. Now it seemed insignificant. “Uh…”

“Something wrong?” He spotted the shocked look on my face. “What is it?”

“I’m so sorry, Sage. But I have to go.”

“You have to go?” he asked. “But you’re already here.”

“I know, I’m so sorry. But I have to go to Volt. I’ll try to come back as soon as I can.”

His face contorted from disappointment to anger. “Volt? Why do you have to go to him?”

I didn’t want to give my answer. “I’m not sure. But there’s something wrong.”

“Well…all of my friends are sitting inside waiting to see you. Not to mention, it’s my birthday. You’re really just going to leave? Did someone die?”

“I don’t know yet. He didn’t say.”

“Can it wait?”

Volt wouldn’t have called me unless it was important. “I’ll make it up to you. I swear.”

“Well, my birthday doesn’t come for another year, so you’ll have to wait a long time.”

“I feel terrible about this. I really do.” I was making a terrible first impression with his friends, not to mention pissing him off.
