Chapter 35

The Present

I wake slowly, my eyes feeling gritty and swollen from crying all night. There’s still dampness on my face and my pillow is wet against my cheek. I don’t dream about the night of the party often anymore. Fallon forced me into therapy for a couple of years to help me deal with everything. But it was the support of my friends, Trevor, and Fallon, that helped me heal. Dustin, Prescott, and I grew close; the three of us bonded in our pain of missing JD. Trevor and Fallon showed me what it felt like to have the love and unconditional support of family. Austin became my fierce protector and a solid friend. Shelby and Renee became my two best girls. And Knox showed me tenderness and understanding. He helped me smile again. What happened last night was not the Knox I know. To be fair, I wasn’t acting like myself either.

After Blaise, Luke, and Will were arrested for attempted sexual assault, I also found out the true power of the Montgomery name and what it means to be Fallon’s sister. I had heard rumors in school about the legendary Fallon Montgomery. About how dangerous he could be. All I have to say is, I’m glad he’s on my side. Once he learned the names of the boys who attacked me, he went after them with ruthless abandon. He kept my name out of the public eye. He made sure they pled guilty to all charges and accepted a plea deal so I wouldn’t have to relive everything in a court trial. He ruined their reputations so no college would accept them. The athletic scholarships they were offered from various universities were rescinded. He bankrupted their families and forced them all to move out of state. It was swift and it was brutal.

I overheard Fallon and Trevor talking one night in the study after Blaise, Luke, and Will went upstate to start serving out their eight-year sentences. They didn’t know I was eavesdropping outside in the hallway.

“It’s done.”

“Fal, that’s just fucked up. I don’t know if I can condone what you’ve done.”

“Those three little fuckers deserve everything that’s coming to them for what they did to Aurora. They’re going to learn to never mess with a Montgomery.”

“Christ, Fallon. I get that. But to put a contract out on them while they’re incarcerated isn’t right.”

“It’s justice, Trev. Remember what Elizabeth told us after she found out the truth about what happened? She said it was justice. That’s what I’m giving Aurora. Those three shits will learn what it feels like to be assaulted. Every single fucking day of their miserable sentences. They’ll know what it feels like to be violated and broken.”

Without Fallon saying exactly what he did, I knew. And I loved him more because of it. He was protecting me. He was fighting for me. I was part of his family. Something I never knew growing up with Mom and Angelica. Fallon opened my eyes that night to what it truly meant to be his sister.
