Not getting enough sleep because of nightmares is something I was used to as a young girl. Not so much anymore, but last night’s episode reminds me of the good old days when I would wake up crying and yelling for my mother. She would always come and hold me until I quit shaking and fell back to sleep. Not last night. No. Last night, I was all alone. And the one person I wish was here to help my nerves, is the one person I need to stay away from.

All the signs were there. I just didn’t pay attention. That or my mind brushed it all away as not important because of my feelings for him.

The two guys in his office that said and thought the weirdest things. His late-night activities where he ‘saves people’. I’m not sure anymore if he beats people up to release anger or if he does it because he likes it.

He has files in his drawer on three people. He hardly ever leaves his office. I’ve seen him leave less than a handful of times in the months I’ve known him. His sleep schedule or lack thereof. I don’t know how he survives with the amount of sleep he gets. It’s insane.

The way Jordan acts towards him and vice versa. It’s like they have known each other for a long time and can’t stand each other. It’s odd, especially since the both of them claim they’ve never met before and I’ve never seen Jordan act that way towards anyone.

I’ve been ignoring Zane’s calls for the past two days, but it doesn’t keep him from calling and leaving messages or texts. The number of times I’ve almost given in and went back is surprising even to me. I don’t know why I’m so drawn to him and the more I think about it, the more it freaks me out. The only thing keeping me from going is those files. I keep going back to them.

Ding. Ding.

My phone alerts me of another voicemail. I blocked his number, but he can still leave messages. I push the button to listen and if I’m being honest with myself, it’s because I want to hear his voice.

“Ashlyn. I’m begging you, love. Please talk to me. I promise it’s not what you think.”

He sighs into the phone, and I can imagine him closing his gorgeous gray eyes.

“Ti amo my Aroha. Please just give me ten minutes and I will explain everything to you. If after that you don’t want to see me anymore, then I’ll let you go. Please.”

His voice dies off into a whisper, which tugs at my heart. The thought of him being sad or in pain kills me. I don’t understand my reactions these last few days. One minute I want to rip his head off and the next I want to console him. It’s like living in the twilight zone and it’s driving me crazy.

To make matters worse, I think Jordan has figured out that Zane and I aren’t doing too great, so he’s been taking advantage of the situation.
