LILA
Icouldn’t sleep, there was no way I could when Maddox
was in jail, and here I was, in my nice and cozy bed.
He was locked away in a cell because of me. My gut
twisted with guilt, and I stared at the ceiling through the
darkness. Colton had to drag me home with Riley right on
our heels.
After convincing me to get in bed while he handled the
matter, Colton left.
Why didn’t he stop Maddox from getting into a fight?
Why wasn’t I fast enough to stop him?
Why… why… why?
I always knew that as much as Maddox was laid-back
and easy-going most of the time, he was also shorttempered
and easily triggered.
The guilt became harder to bear because if I only had
put on my big girl pants and didn’t cause a scene, Maddox
wouldn’t have run off to beat the shit out of Landon.
But I had been hurt and embarrassed.
Not that I cared much about Landon. I wasn’t
heartbroken, but I felt… used.
Used and discarded after he had his fun with me.
If Landon didn’t want to be with me, he could have
easily walked away. I wasn’t clingy; I had no expectations.
