I squeezed my eyes shut as I failed to swallow back a sob, and prayed that he would have the answers to my questions.

“You lean on family, and we hold you up until you have healed and can walk on your own again.”

I missed him. I missed my brother so much, and I needed him.

I hated that he was so far away right now when all I wanted to do was curl up under his arm like I was still a kid and let my big brother hug me until everything was right with the world again.

Yet, I couldn’t. It didn’t even feel right to cry right now when I had a sick little girl sleeping down the hall that I needed to be strong for. “I can walk just fine.”

“Okay, run then. I’ll walk with you until you can run again,” Ben said, and I laughed, wiping my hand over my cheeks to get rid of the tears. “Once you can, I’ll go back to cheering you on from the sidelines.”

Guilt crashed into me again. When was the last time I had been to one of Ben's games to literally cheer him on from the sidelines?

    ALEXANDERI was a fucking idiot.Since the day I met her as a kid, Bailee Evans had been the only one who could get to me. Whenever she was around, all my control snapped.Now, I had to deal with the fallout of my actions once again.Only this time, it was worth it because it was for her and Caleb Johnson had it coming.Caleb had no right to yell at, touch, or even be near Bailee at this point. I knew it wasn’t normal to feel this protective, but with our past it felt justifiable. Plus, Ben would want me looking out for his sister.My mugshot would be on every tabloid and news channel first thing in the morning, and I would take it with a smile after seeing Caleb’s face smashed in.“How did you get out of jail?” Bailee asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she popped her hip out.At least she still had a fire in her after everything she had been through. I used to love bickering with her and hearing her sass.We would banter back and forth until I couldn’t take it anymore and had

    ALEXANDER“I’m sorry that I hurt you. It was the last thing that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t given a choice.”“I just said we shouldn’t talk about it!” She snapped before looking down the hallway, fear on her face. “Shit! We are going to wake her. Just...just get out!”“Look, I’m going to be around, especially if you’re going to be living with Ben. He’s one of my best friends, and you may not know this since you don’t answer his calls, but he’s been going through a hard time, too.” I said, running my hands through my hair, irritation running through me as the raw skin of my wrists from that rookie cop purposely putting the cuffs on too tight caught my eye.“What? Is he okay? What’s going on?” Bailee instantly relaxed. Her concern for her brother was apparent in the way she stood a little taller, as if instinctively preparing to shield or fight for him.“He’s fine, but it’s not my story to tell. Still, I think it would be best if we could put the past behind us to make things easier fo

    BAILEE My phone ringing startled me awake, though I hadn’t intended to pass out on the couch. Usually, when Brinley was sick, I would sleep in her room to ensure she was okay. I jumped for the phone to keep the ringer from waking Brinley. It had been pointless, though, because I cursed loudly

    My heart was pumping loudly, the blood whooshing in my ears as I stared at the closed door, hoping he would look in the bedroom, see it was empty, and leave. Instead, a blood-curdling scream ripped from my throat as the closet door was thrown open to show a large figure in the doorway. “Ms. Eva

    ALEXANDER I scowled as I stared at the back of the bottle, reading the dosage as Bailee turned on the bath in the adjoining bathroom. “How much do I owe you?” She asked, and I looked up to see her leaning against the door frame, staring at me stone-faced. “For the medicine, how much was it?”

    ALEXANDER Entering through the parking garage, I took my private elevator directly to my office, wanting to avoid passing Caleb in the main lobby, where I had Nathan seat him. He could have waited on my floor, but I didn’t want him to overhear anything he shouldn’t or go snooping. “Mr. Kingston

    “Then you should probably worry a little less about me and a little more time with a math tutor.” I lifted my coffee mug, taking another sip as I held his stare. “Just stay away from my wife and child!” Caleb yelled. “Oh, but they’re no longer yours, are they?” I said as all the pieces fell into p
