I keep my eyes on Levi’s broad shoulders and the feel of Payton’s and Molly’s support on either side of me.

As we get closer, Levi is speaking.

Little do I know this is going to be a defining moment in my life.

“Fine. Yes. I’m fucking her. As if I’d seriously date a woman like her.”

My blood freezes and a sharp pain slices across my chest.

“Shit.” Payton curses, and they all turn.

Levi’s eyes lock with mine as I feel myself pale. I almost vomit as my stomach curdles.

How could he say that?

“Kaylee—”

“Excuse me.” I glance at the Montgomery men, at his father, then at the girls, giving them a forced smile of appreciation. Then I pick up my skirt and push through the crowd as fast as I can.

Behind me I hear Payton say, “You fucking idiots.”

I slam my hands on a side door and find the button that opens it then push outside. Leaning onto my knees, I pant and push back the nausea.

I’m the idiot. How could I have been so goddamn stupid?

Bang.

I glance up as the door bounces off the wall and Levi steps out.

“Go away. Just go fucking away!” I yell at him and burst into tears.

CHAPTER TWENTY

LEVI

––––––––

“Kaylee, stop. Where are you going?” I demand as she walks away from me down the alley full of dumpster bins.

“To find someone else to fuck.” She hisses over her shoulder.

I deserve that.

In my defense, I didn’t know she was there, and I was trying to get my brothers off my back.

“Go away Levi. I’m done.”

I follow her, catching up and grabbing her arm.

“Don’t touch me. You do not get to touch me anymore.” She yells a little insanely.

I curse.

I want to tell her my words were a lie, and that I’m a fucking coward, but I hope that she knows that. Surely she knows me well enough.

Now the truth is out.

My family knows the truth.
