47. Chapter Forty-Seven
My parents dropped me off at my house, lingering a little longer than normal. Eventually I gave into them and asked if they’d like to stay and watch a movie with me. They jumped at the chance. I love them for it. I’m not going to lie. The encounter with Matt still has me a bit shaken.
All I can say is thank god I have a stalker, otherwise I wouldn’t have saw him coming. I shudder thinking about what might have happened if I hadn’t spotted him through the window.
My dad wraps his arm around me. “This is my favorite part.” He points at the TV.
I chuckle to myself because I know for a fact he’s never seen this movie before. He’s just trying to get me out of my head, which I appreciate.
“Hey, you know how we talked about having a little memorial for your mom?”
“A memorial? I thought it was just going to be family.”
“It is.”
He says it in a way that makes me not believe him.
“What? The club is your family,” he reasons when he sees my hesitation.
“What have you done?”
He grimaces. “Well, you know how Jesse is. She caught wind and …”
I hold up my hand. “Say no more. There was nothing you could do.”
He laughs loudly.
A little snort snore comes from my mom at the other end of the couch. She fell asleep five minutes into the movie.
My dad laughs. “I’ll never get tired of that sound.”
I smile and snuggle in beside him, because how could I be mad that the club wants to support me?
And if all of the club is going to be there … that will include any prospects.
