Chapter 41
REID
I finish breaking down my station for the night when my phone rings. It never fucking rings. It’s always a text message. I don’t have enough people in my life to get phone calls.
Tingles trickle down my spine, anxiety taking root.
“Dallas, what’s up? Everything okay?”
“Where the fuck are you? Ivy’s in trouble.”
Nausea takes over the anxiety, rolling over me in waves, my stomach souring.
“Fuck, I’m at Rogue. Where is she? What’s going on?”
“Shit, I still think you’re the closest. Get to her, Reid! She’s at her parents’ house. Her psycho ex is in town and he’s been stalking Ivy. Get there! NOW! Sawyer and I are on our way.”
I’m already out the door, my leg swinging over my bike and I’m revving it up before taking off down Main Street. Memories of a past I’ll never let myself forget flash behind my eyes like a sick montage, a reminder of what a failure I am. That I failed her, and I’ll fail Ivy too.
Fuck, if anyone touches her. No. I can’t let myself go there. I can’t let this be Ivy’s end, too. I focus on the road and getting to her as quickly as possible, hoping like hell I’m fast enough.
