The things Lena and Xander told me about Jared were confusing. I knew for a fact they were wrong. My memory wasn’t lying. Why would they try to convince me otherwise?
As soon as I was well enough, I went back to my house. According to Lena, Jared bought me the house, but I didn’t think that was true.
It wasn’t just a house; it was a home, where I could see myself raising my child and giving them a good life, far away from the Dark Realm and Jared.
He’d never buy me anything like that, and I would never want to accept anything like that from him.
The day I got home, my mom met me there. I was glad to see her. I remembered her always telling me that Jared was bad news. It had taken me a while to figure it out but finally, I’d learned.
“How are you feeling, dear?” she asked as she fixed me some soup for lunch.
I sat at the kitchen table, a horrible feeling of despair building in my stomach and I just knew it was because Jared was still hanging around.
