Closing my eyes, I breathed deeply. I didn't want to yell and scream at him because it would get me nowhere, and I needed him to understand.
Upon opening my eyes, I looked to Isaac's grumpy brother and said, "Jeremiah, maybe I should be scared and run, but I won't because this is my home, my town, even though I have no one here. Starting over somewhere new isn't an option for me." I shrugged. "I guess, when Isaac and I became friends, it was the worst day of your life because now you guys are stuck with me. I don't care what happens. I don't care who comes. I will be here for you all, whether you like it or not."
Sitting back, I waited for Jeremiah to curse at me, to yell. What I didn't expect was Jezanna to start sobbing and Jeremiah to lean over the table, grab me from my seat and pull me into a fierce hug.
He whispered, "You are one crazy girl. You're made perfectly for Isaac. I just hope it doesn't get you killed."
