Chapter 73: You Did This!, Part 2

"Hey, Chloe. Easy. It's me."

"Trent." I collapsed against him. "Get me out of here. Please. I don't care where we go, but I can't stay here."

Without a single question, he put me in his truck and drove me straight to his house. By the time we arrived, I finally stopped crying long enough to tell him what had happened, although I didn't really have to - he'd stuck around and heard everything. He put his arm around me and guided me toward his house.

Jax stepped out onto the porch, arms crossed. "What's she doing here?"

I stared at him, mouth agape. He hadn't cared that I was here earlier. Why was it an issue now?

"Not now, Jax," Trent warned.

His tone sent chills through me. I shivered and leaned into his side. How had such a great day gone so horribly wrong? I just wanted everything to go back to the way it was yesterday when I was happy and fatherless.
