“Okay,” I sigh heavily, accepting this for the ti “Well, I don’t think that they are here for you, but they ht ask you a few questions if they find out about the wreck Are you sure you don’t want to stay with et soo”

It ht be me that’s too tired I really don’t think that I should be inviting someone who has clearly a criminal into my house, but to be honest I can’t see hie boy who I was ht need a helping hand

“I don’t know” He still sounds unsure, but I guess his fear of the cops overshadows that “Maybe…”

“Just cos out Luckily, I’ today anyway so I can wait for you, and we can get a cab Sort things out from there”

He doesn’t seeood because I can’t help wanting to keep an eye on hirees, and I blow out a breath of relief I can look after hiain I’ht and if ill even keep in touch after he leaves, but I’ to do my best to help him

It isn’t until later on that the discharge papers finally co on at a hospital that things can take a long tiiven s This situation is insane, hopefully this is the right decision

The cab ride ho that We sit in the back next to one another, our knees al I can’t tell if it’s sexual chemistry or tension between us as we drive We’ve been apart for so long, I can’t read hierous now, especially if he’s worried about the police

He could be a hardened criminal with a murderous past about to catch up with him and I just invited him into my hohbor that I have a crush on

I have no idea how this will end up, but fate brought Ted back into my life and I already have my blinders up This could be the worst idea I’ve ever had, falling back in love with my first love I just hope that I can pick myself up a second time around if I need to

Chapter 6 – Ted

“Thank you,” I say aardly as we step inside Chloe’s “I appreciate you letting me stay…”

“You’re staying for the night at the very least I a… not that it will, I can help” I must look panicked “But I would rather keep an eye on you just in case Plus, this place is faht be helpful while …”

“Take a seat” She points to the nice coet us some coffee”

It’s hard forhere, and if I had anywhere else in the world that I could go, I would The only positive thing about being here, is that no one knows about a connection that I have to Chloe or this place, so no one will be looking for me Ever since my parents left, I haven’t mentioned it Stix was always too fucked up to even knoas going on with me and her, I’m sure

So, no one will be looking forfor me at all, whether it be the police or the people who shot Stix, or even my uncle, but I need to be careful

Fuck… I could be in huge trouble What the hell did Stix do to be killed? And, who the hell did it? My anxiety swells just thinking about it I hope they didn’t know that I lived there with him

“Here you are” Chloe handstheshe hands me “Is that okay?”

“Yeah, sure” I smile and take a sip of the coffee “Thank you, this is really good coffee” I cringe as soon as those words coer, aard and insecure all of a suddenm “Thanks”

“So, you’re feeling okay?” Thankfully, Chloe doesn’t seem to notice my dumb comment “No pain?”
