Chapter 15
I was okay for, oh who am I kidding…I was a basket case, a mess. I was whimpering and hyperventilating. When we were far enough away to be safe, Jay stopped the car, pulled over and reached out to me. He didn’t say a word, just pulled my still shaking body close to him, where I snuggled in as if I could hide in there, and be lost in his warmth and protection.
After a couple of moments I stammered out. “God, dude, I gotta tell this, I have to tell someone, what I overheard. What my Dad said! Oh my God, Jay, Jesus!”
He continued to just hold me but his heart was speeding up. I could hear it louder than my own; I was pressed up so tightly against him.
