Chapter 61

Zane

I slept like shit most of the night, tossing and turning as nightmares haunted me as if I was experiencing them all over again.

"Come on, Zane." She giggled. "What's the big deal? Touch me."

"I'm busy." I yawned and snagged my AP Psych book in an attempt to put some distance between me and Cassie, just another girl in a blur of girls whose only goal in life was to get me to jump between her thighs.

But I didn't have time for that life.

I ran the entire way to the house I'd been living in for the past three months. Rejection heated my face as I ducked and tried to run up the stairs.

"Zane!" Mrs. Angel shouted my name with glee. "I've been waiting for you."

Great.

When wasn't she waiting for me?

"Come have a snack!"

"I ate."

Silence and then. "I provide a roof over your head, the least you can do is try my chocolate chip cookies. I made them just for you."

Yeah, I bet she did.
