EXCERPT
I
turn to Andrew again, waiting for him to spit it out. A cold breeze rushes
through my knitted sweater, and I hide my hands inside the sleeves.
“You
have five minutes to throw all of your stuff in your bag,” he says, and my
heart is beating erratically before he finishes the sentence. He taps his wrist
where there is no watch. “Not a second more.”
“Andrew—”
“This
isn’t up for debate,” he says. “Go get your stuff.”
I
just look at him, face blank.
My
theory was right, but I didn’t want it to be. I don’t want to go on the road…I
mean, I do…but
it’s not right. It’s just not right.
“You
have four minutes now.”
“But
we can’t just leave like this,” I argue. “It would be rude.” I point at Asher.
“And Asher just got here. Don’t you want to visit with—”
“I
can visit my big brother anytime,” Asher counters. “Right now, I think you
better do what he says or you might end up on the road wearing the same panties
for a week.”
A
few more seconds pass and I still haven’t moved. I’m in a state of mild shock,
I guess.
“Three
minutes, babe,” Andrew says and is looking at me with a serious face. “I’m not
kidding. Get up there, throw our shit in our bags, and get in the damn car.”
Oh
hell, he’s back to his old self again…
When
I start to argue again, Andrew’s eyes get all feral-looking, and he says,
“Hurry up. Time’s running out!” and he points to the house.
Finally,
letting down my guard and going with the moment as much as I can allow myself,
I glare at him and say, “Fine.” I’m only agreeing to it because I know he’s
trying make things better. But I feel guilty as hell.
Disregarding
his playful five-minute demand, I turn on my heels and walk very slowly back
toward the house, purposely taking my time, partly my way of silently arguing
the situation.
I
push open the bedroom door, set my bag on the bed, and start stuffing
everything inside of it. Then I go into the bathroom and grab our toothbrushes
and various bathroom necessities. I yank our phone chargers from the wall and
then my phone from the nightstand and chuck it all into my purse. I make my way
around the room, hoping that I’m not missing anything.
Looks
like Andrew already packed his stuff at some point and I never noticed.
Then
I just stand here, scanning every inch of the place around me but not really
seeing any of it. I don’t want to do this, but maybe it’s the right thing.
I hear the horn honk three times, and it snaps me out of my
thoughts. Grabbing my bag, I swing it over my shoulder and grab my purse from
the bed.
