Chapter33

#Chapter33

The sand and shattered shells press into my feet as I walk back to the marina. With my shoes still hanging from my fingers, bumping against my thighs, I try to collect myself. They knew. Austin, Kaden, probably Lauren as I suspected. They all knew and let me continue on. I know I've wished that Lauren never said, /"Oh, with who?/" But now that it's the truth, I can't help but hate her and whoever else for not telling me. As my best friend, I'd hope she'd want the best for me.

I run my bottom lip through my teeth, wanting both to ditch them and scream at them. Scream about how much they've let me down, even Kaden who tried to assure me that he's changed, that he wants to heal things between us. This isn't the first time they've all let me down, though. I can think of another time that put my life in danger.
