Chapter 46: Layla

"Like what?" he asks as he puts his foot down way too quickly, jerking me forward. His arm shoots out to keep me from hitting the dash. "Put on your seat belt." He speaks through gritted teeth. He’s like four seasons at once tonight. I can’t figure him out. The snap of my seat belt has him pulling his arm away from me.

"Like how you’re all emotional tonight." Emotional isn’t the right word, but I don’t know how to explain this.

"Yeah well, Layla, I just had a fistfight with someone…"

I sink back into the chair, my adrenaline crashing.

A fistfight? To me, it looked like Jared really wasn’t going to let Kieran up. Another shiver assaults me at the thought. Maybe I saw it wrong. Maybe it was a fistfight. I forgot he knew Kieran. Are they close friends? My actions may have caused a rift.

"I’m sorry," I whisper.
