Danica POV
Dax tried to talk to me on the way back to the house. “Danica, let me explain.”
Why would I let him do that? He’d just make things worse I was sure. I couldn’t keep dealing with his ridiculous behavior. He had ruined my opportunity to cut ties to Jason. I was about to tell him we were done seeing each other ever again.
“No, I don’t want to hear it. What you did back there wasn’t okay. I’m really p*ssed at you,” I answered back.
“You shouldn’t be. I helped you get away from that creep.” Dax added, “Didn’t you hear the way he talked about you? He acted like you were his.”
I scoffed and said, “Sounds like someone else I know.”
“You can’t possibly be implying that I treat you that way. I’m only trying to keep you safe.”
Jason hadn’t done anything bad. Dax only wanted me for himself for some strange reason. I should’ve been kept safe from the likes of him.
I shook my head and said, “Just stop trying to act like you’re my hero. I can handle myself with an ex.”
