“This isn’t going to work, Chanel.”
Ha, letting her go so easily.
I would never allow this to happen. For me, it was the threat of death, but even with that threat, I have found my way back to her or perhaps fate did.
“Okay,” is all she says back.
Ferris shakes his head and walks out.
“You’re pregnant?” Merci asks, and I wait for her response.
Do I want her to be pregnant with another man’s child? Fuck no.
Would I pull a Farris and leave when it gets tough? No. Not even a storm could stop me from being near her now.
Fuck death.
Fuck everything.
“I don’t know,” Chanel whispers.

Have you heard?
There was an accident, and our two favorite love birds have been reunited.
What will come of this?

“You are not pregnant,” the doctor confirms. He also tells me I can go home tomorrow but to take it easy and have someone with me at all times.
“You can come to mine,” Lucas offers.
“I’ll go home,” I reply, looking to Brody.
“You don’t live with us anymore,” he informs me.
Since when did that happen? I would never move out and leave him.
“And, sis… I need to go to rehab.” He scratches at his arms. As I take a really good look at him, his face is sunken in, and his eyes no longer hold that mischief. What the hell have I missed?
Turning back to Lucas, I ask, “Have I stayed at yours before?”
He tries to fight the smirk on his lips as he answers me, “Yes.”
