Getting this off my chest feels great, but it pisses me off to see TJ smiling at me.

“What is that stupid look for? Huh? Do you think this is funny? Messing with poor, fat Taylor.”

At my last words, his smile falls.

“And then, to top off my whole day off, some creep drives me home and doesn’t leave until you show up? What is that all about? Do you know him or something?”

Maybe this is all a setup, maybe TJ hired the driver to scare me.

If that is the case, it worked wonders.

“I just don’t understand what I did so wrong to deserve all this,” I cry out, shoving TJ back.

Staring into TJ’s eyes through my own glassy ones, all I see is concern.

Why was he so concerned when he caused this?

It is his fault that I fled the courthouse. Everything bad that has ever happened to me is his fault.

I stare into his deep blue eyes and while I feel an overwhelming sense of hatred, I also feel love, and I hate that most of all.

Chapter 16 - TJ

Seeing Taylor fall apart like this makes my heart ache with sadness. She deserves the world, and I want to be the one to give it to her.

“Who was in the car?” I finally ask as she seems to start to calm down.

“Why do you care? You probably sent them.”

“I’m not the one who put you in the car.”

At my words, Taylor stiffens and her back straightens as realization fills her eyes.

“You’re right, maybe I should call Dylam and see who that creep was.”

So, Dylan did put her in the car with a creep. I was wondering why the car was still here. I know it took me a while to fly here.

“Tell me everything,” I demand, needing to know who exactly was in that car.

Taylor eyes me up and down before she sighs, shoulders slumping. “He had messy dirty-blonde hair and the scariest dark gray eyes I’ve ever seen. Something about him just made me feel unsafe, and then when I got home, he didn’t leave until you got here.”

My stomach deflates.

It is exactly what I feared.

Carnelian.

Carnelian drove Taylor home and stayed because he was watching her.

What is Dylan doing, putting Taylor in a car with Carnelian?

Do they know each other, or is this some big coincidence?

I get lost in thought until Taylor shoves me again. “How did you get here so fast? Where’s your car? And what are you wearing?”

Her questions catch me off guard and I stutter, “Uh—um.”

“If you aren’t going to be honest with me, just leave. It seems that you can’t be honest, anyway.”
