didn’t know who I was after that. I lost a piece of me that day.” Drew shakes his head before he pulls back to look at me.
“If that’s what they did, they all deserve to die.” When the words leave his mouth, I almost lose my mind. How can he agree with what I did to her?
“That’s murder.” He nods his head, those dark eyes following me.
“They raped you. They took your innocence. What they deserve, is to rot in their own hell.” The twinkle in his eyes does something to me. He is like me.
“I want them all dead. In their own time. That isn’t the immediate threat though. Someone found out about what I did. He’s black mailing me.” Drew drops his hold on me before running his hand through his hair.
“How did he find out?” Scrubbing his hand over his face, he watches me.
Do I dare tell him more? What if he turns on me like Robby did? No, Drew is like me. He wouldn’t do that.
“He’s a lawyer. I put my trust in him. He threatened me, that if I don’t cooperate he would go after my family.” Drew turns away from me, slamming his fist into the wall next to us.
Jumping slightly, I place my hand on his arm.
“I don’t take lightly to threats. You belong to me, Han. I don’t care how long I’ve known you. You see me, the real me. You aren’t scared of what lurks within me, you embrace it. I won’t let him hurt you. Don’t take this lightly but don’t let it get to your head. You’re mine, but in my way.”
Chapter 32
I stayed with Drew for as long as I could, before returning back to my hell.
As much as I enjoy being near him, I don’t understand him completely.
I wanted to be home when Janey got back, so I made myself leave.
Wandering through the house, I realize my mom hasn’t come out of her room since I’ve been home.
Walking down the hallway, I shove her bedroom door open. Seeing her lying on the bed with a needle sticking out of her arm shouldn’t surprise me the way it does.
“Mom, Janey will be home soon.” Something in my chest tightens. I know she’s gone; I can feel it.
“Mom.” My heart starts beating faster the closer I get to her. I know she isn’t perfect, but she’s still my mom.
Grabbing her arm, I shake her lightly.
“Mom. Janey will be home soon.” Feeling for a pulse, there isn’t one.
My heart sinks further in my chest when I hear the door open. How do I do this now? How do I tell her she’s gone?
Wiping at my cheeks, I head out of the room before Janey can get all the way inside.
“Look at you! Did you have fun?” Trying to sound upbeat, I pull her into a hug. As beautiful as she looks right now, I’m about to crush her heart.
“It was so much fun! We danced all night. My friends were so funny!” Janey hugs me tightly as she tells me all about her night.
When she heads to her room to change, I text Drew.
“Bad news.”
“You killed him without me?”
Trying to suppress the giggle that escapes my throat, I try to focus.
“I came home to find my mom overdosed. What do I do?”
“Give me your address.”
“No, Drew. I can’t have you in the middle of this, too.”
“Mine Hannah. You’re mine. Address.”
“2300 Maryland Dr.”
“On my way.”
Sliding the phone back into my pocket, I head to Janey’s room with my heart in my throat.
Knocking softly, she tells me to come in.
“Hey. I need to talk to you. In a few minutes I need to call 911.” Her eyes jerk to mine and hold there. She knows, I don’t have to say it.
“When?” Shaking my head, I see the tear slide down her face. I hate to hurt her like this.
“I came home and found her.” Janey slams into me as I hold her tightly.
“I’m so sorry, Janey.”
Chapter 33
The cops came, and so did the ambulance that’s now loading her body.
“Christ! Han!”
“If that’s what they did, they all deserve to die.” When the words leave his mouth, I almost lose my mind. How can he agree with what I did to her?
